Well, that didn't take long.
The conversation about the best team in America took a turn this week when UConn skated through the Empire Classic in New York with wins over Indiana and Texas. The latter was impressive because Donovan Clingan, the projected first-round pick in the 2024 NBA draft, struggled with foul trouble that night, so Dan Hurley had to rely on big man Samson Johnson -- but the Huskies still dominated.
A win by Arizona over Michigan State this week in Palm Springs, however, would add another top-25 victory to the résumé for a Wildcats squad that already has a win over Duke.
