It wasn’t always pretty, particularly when it came to shooting, but UConn men’s basketball rode its defense and size advantage to a 31-point victory on Tuesday against Stonehill in the Skyhawks’ first-ever Division I game.
Friday will see a small step up in competition as Boston University comes to open the Gampel Pavilion portion of the home slate. The Terriers are 1-0 after Northeastern made the arduous 2.5-mile journey to Case Gym and BU walked away with a 72-63 win. Boston University is ranked No. 234 in KenPom as of the start of play on Friday, so UConn should not have much trouble in this one.
