The UConn Huskies came up short Wednesday night, losing 56-53, in their first true road game of the season against West Virginia. As most predicted, this game was an ugly one, but it was winnable. According to Hurley, this loss was a product of poor discipline and poor shooting, no argument here.
Poor shooting happens. Poor discipline shouldn’t happen, but at least it can be corrected.
The defensive game plan going in against West Virginia should be to slow down Taz Sherman and Sean McNeil, make the rest of the team beat you. Easier said than done, of course.
