Last year’s UConn men’s basketball team saw its season abruptly end as the COVID-19 pandemic shut down the world as we knew it in mid-March. An offseason which started early also featured a conference move and the addition of some new players who will play key roles for the team.
As the world changed and adjusted to the pandemic, news came quickly and plans changed fast. Eventually, the American Athletic Conference tournament at Dickies Arena was cancelled shortly after the team landed in Texas. Head coach Dan Hurley did his best to express his feelings on the news and the fact that his second season at the helm came to a rather abrupt end.
