After an epic offensive performance against lowly Georgetown, UConn men’s basketball (14-4, 5-2 Big East) returns to action Saturday night to take perennial Big East basement dweller DePaul.
The Blue Demons (10-9, 1-8 Big East), under first-year coach Tony Stubblefield, are once again towards the bottom of the conference and may be even further hampered by the loss of star Javon Freeman-Liberty, who has missed more than two weeks due to a groin injury. A win in Chicago would make it five in a row for the No. 20 Huskies and help them build momentum for a tough four-game stretch where no team is outside of the KenPom top 60.
