MILWAUKEE — The No. 6 UConn men’s basketball team didn’t find a solution for its home sickness as it dropped a third straight road game in Big East play, this time to No. 25 Marquette, 82-76, on Wednesday.
Trailing by eight with 94 second left, Jordan Hawkins made his first 3-pointer of the game to cut it to five. He then stole the ball on the other end and was fouled, made both shots at the line to cut the deficit to three. But a 3-pointer by the Golden Eagles’ Kam Jones put the Huskies out.
UConn hasn’t won a true road game against a ranked opponent in nearly nine years. The last time was Jan. 16, 2014 over No. 17 Memphis at FedEx Forum.
