Beyond the box score: No. 5 UConn shuts down Butler

SAWYER GOLDWEIN | SPORTS EDITOR | sgoldwein@butler.edu

The men’s basketball team traveled to Connecticut with tired legs and it showed in a 79-60 loss to UConn. Coming off a win in a Big East-opener slugfest against Providence in double overtime, the Bulldogs faced a tough task going on the road against the No. 5 ranked Huskies.

After jumping out to an 11-4 lead, it was a painful first half for the visitors offensively. The Dawgs ended the frame with a season-low 25 points after struggling to generate consistent offense in any fashion.
