Caught most of the game online, they played about as well as anyone could expect. Minnesota isn't a great team this year, but still has a lot of high-skill players. UConn's not quite at the point where they can compete talent-wise top to bottom with the likes of a Minnesota, or the other big programs, so they have to win by outworking and outsmarting their opponents, which isn't easy. But they certainly did not get run out of the building, performed admirably for a young program, and for a program in the bottom half of Hockey East to go into the barn of one of the two premiere programs of the B1G and have a legitimate chance to win the game up to the final whistle is a great thing for UConn and Hockey East in general.
