It came in a flash, just a flash. The new-lookUConn men's basketballteam spend much of Sunday afternoon feeling things out, working out kinks as coachKevin Ollietried different combinations.
But early in the second half, it came together, the defensive pressure, the rebounding and the running game. Division II New Haven made theHuskieswork for a win in the first exhibition game, and the Huskies, on the strength of 6-minute run, won 83-68 before 5,826 at the XL Center.
During that run of 6:09, the Huskies, ahead by only one with 13:49 to play, outscored the Chargers 25-5 to open a 21-point lead. Freshmen Alterique Gilbert, running the show, and Van Jackson, hitting three-pointers with precision, as was his reputation, broke the game open.
