Hurley: Akok ‘getting closer’ to return, but no official timetable

For the first time this season, UConn men’s basketball is going to play a game outside of Connecticut. They have arrived in Milwaukee and will take on Marquette at the Fiserv Forum, where the Golden Eagles share a home court with the Milwaukee Bucks.

The Huskies (4-1, 1-1 Big East) will have their first matchup with Marquette since 2013, a reoccurring statistic for the team in their return to the Big East.

Ahead of their matchup with the Golden Eagles, head coach Dan Hurley spoke with media late Monday night.
