After a weeklong rest, Dan Hurley’s injury-shortened squad returns to the court tonight against SMU in a game that both teams desperately need to win.
The Huskies, still without starting guards Jalen Adams and Alterique Gilbert, have gone 3-6 since beating the Mustangs on January 10, indicative of a young, fatigued team still trying to figure out how to play without two top players. The Mustangs, meanwhile, have won only one of their last eight contests, a mark that seems near-impossible for a team once thought to be competing for an NCAA Tournament bid.
