HARTFORD, Conn. — The sliding UConn men’s basketball team needed a win on Sunday. Badly.
And the Huskies got it in the best way possible.
It was the team that started the season 14-0 and rose to No. 2 in the country which showed up in front of a decent crowd at the XL Center, not the Huskies who had just lost five of six. Pure domination was on display in every aspect of the game as UConn sprinted out to a 22-point halftime lead and cruised on to a critical, 86-56 win, its second of the season over Butler and first since Jan. 7.
