The Huskies will be back in action tonight with a tough opponent as UConn hosts Houston in Hartford.
UConn (13-11, 4-7 American) has struggled to adjust to its injuries, as a team that once counted depth among its assets has become one of the shallowest in the conference. Without star guards Jalen Adams and Alterique Gilbert (and backup center Kassoum Yakwe), the Huskies are missing two of their best players and are having a difficult time replacing their production.
While everyone on the UConn roster has assumed a larger role in the meantime, it’s hard to expect inexperienced players to just replace a senior leader and the starting point guard.
