So the good news is UConn isn’t the only team in this game coming off an embarrassing performance.
The bad news is that Florida (2-1) actually won its previous game, a six-point victory over Towson. Also that Towson is better than Saint Joseph’s, the team that beat the Huskies on Wednesday night. And perhaps most importantly, Florida is deeper and more skilled in every department than UConn.
I know, what an optimistic way to start a preview of the biggest game of the season so far. Some of that is realistic—this won’t be an easy game. Florida can run 10 deep of legitimate assets when everyone is healthy, and UConn (1-1) will only have nine scholarship athletes dressed for today’s game.
