The Bulldogs aren’t the only national title contender to fall on the road early on during the season. Just as the Mississippi State basketball team lost to Oregon back in December, UConn lost to Baylor last night. That should help change the perception around MSU’s loss to the Ducks.
Here’s why.
UConn losing at any point during a season is a rare thing. The Huskies haven’t lost in the regular season since all the way back in 2014. We’re now in 2019 (in case anyone has already forgotten), meaning that around five years have passed since that last regular season defeat for Geno Auriemma’s legendary program.
