PHILADELPHIA — On Friday, UConn forward Adama Sanogo was supremely confident in the Huskies’ ability to beat Villanova. On Saturday, as he and his teammates failed to show up until it was too late, he was proven wrong.
The Huskies lost, 85-74, against Villanova in a crucial Big East Conference game in front of 19,786 fans at the Wells Fargo Center.
After trailing by as many as 23 points in the second half, UConn went on a run to cut the lead to just 10 with 2:06 left in the game. Alas, that would be the closest the Huskies would get to coming back.
