Villanova tamed the UConn Huskies on Saturday afternoon, scoring a 68-60 win in their home dwelling of Finneran Pavilion.
The Huskies were doomed in the second half thanks to a poor shooting effort on the two primary levels. While they went 8-for-11 from the free throw line, their 8-for-27 mark from the field and 3-for-12 effort from the perimeter hindered them and spelled more significant troubles. ‘Nova didn’t fare much better from the perimeter in fairness, but their 8-for-13 mark on 2-point tries and 12-for-15 effort from the free throw line aided them greatly.
