The UConn Huskies took a disappointing loss to Providence at the XL Center Saturday in a game that had been built up with some pretty heavy hype.
It was the program’s first home conference game with fans since joining the Big East and it was against a Providence team that appears to be better than its preseason expectations. Before the sold-out game, fans gathered on Pratt Street in an event co-hosted by the Hartford Chamber of Commerce and the Husky Ticket Project.
But the Huskies came out flat, looking lost offensively, and failed to make enough plays when they miraculously had a chance to tie it in the final minutes.
