Following a brutal loss at USF, UConn men’s basketball hopes to end a two-game losing streak when the Huskies face UCF at the XL Center in Hartford on Saturday.
Dan Hurley’s squad lost a physical contest in Tampa on Wednesday night, and now the Huskies must face the tougher of the two Floridian opponents in the American Athletic Conference, although this time they’ll have the benefit of the home-court advantage. UConn (9-5, 0-1 AAC) fell outside the top 100 in Ken Pomeroy’s adjusted efficiency margin for the first time since the season began, and the team will have to become more consistent to get back into the NCAA Tournament bubble conversation.
