NCAA Basketball: 10 most watchable teams for 2020-21 season
6. Connecticut Huskies
A return to the Big East conference, after seven years in the American Athletic Conference, is cause for plenty of excitement in Storrs this year. The Huskies are trending in the right direction under 3rd-year head coach Dan Hurley and boast considerable weapons to immediately make noise in the conference. Led by sophomore James Bouknight, Connecticut has another electrifying star to lean on and orchestrate historical moments in its basketball history.
Transfers RJ Cole (Howard) and Tyrese Martin (Rhode Island) provide a lot of upside on both ends of the floor for the team, but there’s a lot of buzz surrounding freshman Andre Jackson. The 6’6 wing is very explosive and has added 20 lbs since arriving on campus this offseason, only increasing his chances of an immediate breakout campaign.
The frontcourt group of Tyler Polley, Akok Akok, and Josh Carlton provide a lot of reliable production in the frontcourt for Coach Hurley, but freshman bigs Adama Sanogo and Javonte Brown-Ferguson could push for immediate playing time this season. The floor for this team may be higher than expected, but the ceiling could continue to grow as the season progresses.
