The UConn Huskies have been one of the many surprises in the early going of this season. The Huskies are currently 9-0 after winning the Phil Knight Invitational with four straight wins over teams within the top 50 on KenPom.com. It’s been an impressive run for a program begging for excitement since its national championship run back in 2011.
Connecticut has the sixth-shortest odds to win the national championship as they sit fourth in KenPom’s rankings as of December 4. They have steamrolled through their non-conference schedule, and with Florida as their last notable opponent before Big East play begins, we could see the Huskies undefeated heading into the conference portion of the year.
