Despite playing from behind for most of the second half, the Cougars were able to pull out of their last home game this season with a 81-71 victory over UConn on Sunday night.
The Cougars started the game by starting all four seniors, a senior day tradition, alongside junior guard Galen Robinson.
Right from the opening tip the Cougars looked aggressive and shot 9-for-15 in the first seven minutes to jump out to an early 22-9 lead. It was the biggest lead either team held Sunday night.
Trouble arose as the Cougars started missing their shots when bench unit came, and they had a stretch shooting 6-16.
