HARTFORD, Conn. – Precious Achiuwa had 16 points and 13 rebounds – his 14th double-double of the season – and Tyler Harris added 16 points – including four 3-pointers – but their contributions weren't enough Sunday.
In an American Athletic Conference game at the XL Center, the Tigers limited UConn to 32 percent shooting, but were unable to "out-tough" the Huskies, according to Tigers coach Penny Hardaway.
The Huskies used 18 offensive rebounds to score 17 second-chance points and made 12 of 13 free throws down the stretch to post a 64-61 victory over the Tigers (17-8, 6-6 American).
