It wasn’t pretty, but the UConn men’s basketball team got the job done against the Manhattan Jaspers, 61-46 in a sloppy, turnover-laden affair. The two teams combined to give the ball up 41 times and committed 41 fouls as well.
UConn started off 1-12 from the field, struggling to get in middle of zone and not connecting on open looks. The Huskies jumped out to a quick 5-0 lead before they went completely cold and failed to score for over 7 minutes. However, Sid Wilson broke them out of a scoring slump with a ferocious one-handed putback dunk.
