UConn seeks to improve its record to 2-2 against major conference opponents today as the Huskies take on the Florida State Seminoles at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey this evening as part of the Never Forget Tribute Classic.
The Huskies (7-2) have only lost to Iowa and Arizona so far this year, but their victory over rival Syracuse does leave them with one win over an opponent from a power conference. Florida State could be their second if things go right.
Leonard Hamilton might have something to say about that, though. The longtime coach and former Big East opponent (Hamilton coached Miami in the 1990s) has taken Florida State to an unprecedented level of play, bringing the Seminoles the stability and success they had previously only dreamed of.
