NEW YORK (AP) The Connecticut Sun have made the most of a brutal early season schedule.
Connecticut spent 17 of 19 days on the road and had to play Minnesota three times in the first 10 games and yet the Sun are sitting at .500. They started the season 0-4 and have won five of six despite missing starters Morgan Tuck – knee bruise – and Alex Bentley – EuroBasket tournament. Connecticut also has been without its top post reserve as Lynetta Kizer is dealing with a back issue.
”We lost three close games early in the year by two points,” Connecticut coach Curt Miller said.
