The last time Dan Hurley and the Huskies took the floor at Gampel Pavilion, a sold-out crowd helped push them past a top-25 Houston team to send senior guard Christian Vital off with a key conference win. When UConn returns to action Wednesday night against Central Connecticut State, everything is going to be very different.
After the 2020 postseason was cancelled, the Huskies unceremoniously completed their seven-year sentence in the AAC. No more home-and-homes with Houston, Tulsa, East Altoona State, etc. But as the conference slate gets a lot more enticing, Gampel Pavilion will be nearly empty as part of precautions surrounding the coronavirus pandemic.
