#BIGEASThoops Notebook: UConn Rolling; St. John's, Marquette Win

UConn's Tyler Polley Has Helped UConn to a Strong League Start

As much excitement as there was in Storrs surrounding UConn’s return to the BIG EAST, there was also a question: Just how would life go for the Huskies in year one back in the conference?

The program entered the season having not appeared in the NCAA Tournament in four years.

Through eight games this season, Dan Hurley’s team looks primed to put that drought to bed, because UConn is 7-1 and picking up steam by the game. Sweeping their first road swing of the season with three wins by an average of 10 points, the Huskies have put together performances while undermanned that they could especially benefit from in the long run.
