Back home after a productive week in the Bahamas, the no. 17 UConn men’s basketball team survived Maryland Eastern Shore 72-63 to improve to 7-1 on the season.
RJ Cole led the Huskies with 25 points, while Tyler Polley chipped in 14. Isaiah Whaley added eight points, seven rebounds, and four blocks. Adama Sanogo exited in the second half with an oblique injury and leading rebounder Tyrese Martin remained sidelined with a sprained wrist.
A win is a win, but the majority of the game was marred by disjointed play from UConn on both ends, with the Huskies never finding any sort of game flow.
