It was high-scoring, it wasn’t pretty, but it was a victory for UConn.
The Huskies defeated the 22nd-ranked Auburn Tigers in their Battle 4 Atlantis Tournament opener on Wednesday afternoon. The 115-109 victory over the Tigers in double overtime threw many viewers for a loop. And luckily for the Huskies, they fell on the winning side of the fence.
UConn held a lead as large as 15, as they were up 65-50 with 11 minutes left. But an Auburn surge down the stretch, in which they scored 29 points to UConn’s 18 in the final 10 minutes, helped send the game to OT.
