HARTFORD, Conn. — Plenty had forgotten why the UConn men’s basketball team was once ranked No. 2 in the nation and how they’d gotten to that point.
Tuesday’s dominant 87-72 win at the XL Center over No. 10 Marquette was a reminder.
The Huskies (19-6, 8-6 Big East) were red hot coming out of the gate, shooting 54.5% from the field and 54.8% from 3-point range in the first half. Marquette, on the other hand, shot just 36.7% from the field and made 2 of 12 3-pointers as the Huskies built their lead to as many as 20 points in the game’s first 20 minutes.
