A week after a tough loss to No. 11 Florida State, UConn is back in action, taking on a Manhattan team that poses much less of a threat.
On Saturday, the Huskies (7-3) play their first of two tune-up games leading up to a major Dec. 22 game against Villanova. These tune-up games have not provided much of a challenge so far, none finishing with a single-digit scoring margin, but they allow Dan Hurley to make adjustments for upcoming games before they even start, as well as giving the team practice and experience for the later tough contests.
