I’d have to dig around in the schedule archives to double check, but given the totality of the circumstances, I’m pretty sure this is the biggest week for UConn basketball since the Huskies returned to their rightful place in the Big East. No matter what the results are, Connecticut fans have to admit that this kind of a week is absolutely why they needed to come back to this league.
Onwards to the highlights, and there are A LOT of them this week.
Tuesday, February 8: #18 Marquette Golden Eagles at #24 Connecticut Huskies (5:30pm Central, FS1) — When these two teams squared off in Milwaukee, it was before the Golden Eagles figured their business out and caught fire.
