UConn struggled early in its first game since March and led by just three points, 31-28 at halftime. The Huskies turned it over 12 times in the first half but regrouped and committed five turnovers in the second stanza, pulling away and outscoring the Netherlands 22-9 in the third quarter. Be sure to check out the photo gallery by clicking the link above for some pictures of our trip to Vatican City and of the game. We would also like to extend a special thank you to the Swiss Guard for allowing us to access to their home and providing a fantastic behind-the-scenes tour. UConn will square-off against the Dutch National Team, same time and place tomorrow.
