UConn sat in silence in the visitor’s locker room of Bud Walton Arena. The Huskies had just been torched for 90 points in a loss to the Arkansas Razorbacks, the most they’d given up in regulation since 2001. Even before the coaches came in, there was already a palpable sense of embarrassment among the players.
“We’re just all sitting there — not even defeated, just so embarrassed like ‘We just allowed that to happen,’” Evina Westbrook said. “It was just embarrassing for us as individuals and for us as a team.”
It wasn’t just that UConn had given up so many points.
