UConn men’s basketball’s Big East season has ended in the semifinals for the second consecutive season, as the Huskies fell in a nailbiter to Villanova, 63-60.
“[Villanova] makes so few mistakes, and we made a few too many,” head coach Dan Hurley said postgame.
Tyrese Martin led the way for UConn with 19 points, including a 4-8 performance from beyond the arc. He was joined in double-figures by Adama Sanogo, who had 13 points and 15 rebounds, RJ Cole (11 points) and Andre Jackson (10 points).
This was the type of game UConn had been waiting to play since announcing its return to the Big East in June 2020.
