The UConn Huskies are in Greenville, North Carolina to take on East Carolina in a matchup between the fifth and ninth-place teams in the American Athletic Conference standings.
UConn (14-14, 9-7 AAC) is coming off of two straight losses and, in a season ravaged by injury, the Huskies will be without Christian Vital due to a concussion and possibly Jalen Adams, who left the previous game against SMU with an ankle injury. The Huskies struggled early in that one but got within striking distance. Unfortunately, losing Adams was just too much to overcome as UConn fell at home.
