After a competitive, but rarely close, loss to No. 8 Wichita State at home, Kevin Ollie’s UConn Huskies hit the road for a matchup with the Tulsa Golden Hurricane.
Tulsa has beaten UConn in on their home court in all three years they have been a member of the conference. This year, KenPom projects the 97th-ranked home team to beat the 125th-ranked Huskies, 71-67.
UConn fans know better than to be too encouraged by the fight the Huskies showed against Wichita State. Last time the Huskies did so against a ranked opponent, at Arizona, they followed it up with a complete stinker against Auburn.
