It wasn’t as dominant as the last time the two schools met, but Alex Karaban and No. 2 UConn got the job done at Fiserv Forum on Wednesday night.
The Huskies fended off No. 8 Marquette to grab a 74-67 win over the Golden Eagles on Wednesday. The win was remarkably UConn’s first road victory over a ranked opponent since 2014, when it was still in the American Athletic Conference, and marks just its latest step in defending last year’s national championship run.
Marquette came out of the gates strong, and went on a mini 10-0 run after letting UConn score the first five points of the game.
