The UConn Huskies lost at the hands of the Central Florida Knights on Thursday night. The Huskies’ 12-point halftime deficit proved too much to overcome despite a big second half performance from Jalen Adams.
Here are our takeaways:
Dylan Finer: Tarin Smith, Alterique Gilbert’s replacement, had a fine game with 11 points, a team-high four assists and no turnovers. However, it was evident that UConn was short on playmakers as the offense went stagnant in the first half. The Huskies scored just 22 points in the first half and, though mostly due to turnovers, struggled to find open looks.
