Nice to see such positive national press. It's been a while. Long write up on the Huskies (I just pasted part of it here) plus a video talking about them. Update on Bouknight in there also (sounds positive).
UConn can be the third-best team in the Big East this season, behind Nova and Creighton.
Something's changed since UConn went into halftime on Jan. down 41-23 at Marquette. The Huskies have scored 114 their last 60 minutes of play, while opponents have managed 83. UConn's 3-1 in the Big East and 6-1 overall. Dan Hurley heavily prides himself on culture building and turning positive results by the third year of his coaching tenure. That's showing with UConn at the moment.

6. At 6-1, UConn is arriving right on time
On Saturday UConn played its first game at Hinkle Fieldhouse and won 72-60 despite not having James Bouknight (elbow injury earlier in the week vs. Marquette). The Huskies sank 10 3-pointers and had 28 bench points, including 19 from Tyler Polley. This was Butler with Aaron Thompson back and playing 37 minutes. Wins like this don't garner national attention, but they offer evidence to a team's broader objective within a season.UConn can be the third-best team in the Big East this season, behind Nova and Creighton.
