After being snubbed from the NCAA tournament selection committee’s top 16 reveal last week, UConn has only done good things to bolster their resume come March. The Huskies handled a Seton Hall team teetering on the bubble easily with a 64-55 win at home last Saturday and made a statement Wednesday night with a 87-69 thrashing of No. 20 Providence at Gampel Pavilion.
UConn has now won five of its last six games — the lone loss in that span came on the road to now-No. 19 Creighton — and looks to be playing a version of basketball more akin to the team that started 14-0 than the one that stumbled through the month of January.
