Jalen Adams scored 31 points on 50 percent shooting, Josh Carlton reached a new career high with 18 points, and Christian Vital’s scored 18 and eclipsed the 1,000 point mark as a milestone game for many Huskies led UConn above Tulane 87-71 on Saturday afternoon.
With the game rescheduled to the early afternoon due to approaching winter storms, neither team was in its comfort zone, especially because both were missing important contributors with injuries. UConn (11-8, 2-4 American) used a consistent, aggressive offense to their advantage, creating chances at will even without the benefit of free throws.
