The UConn Huskies are shorthanded heading into their Sunday afternoon game against Memphis in the first matchup between two high-profile first-year coaches.
Dan Hurley’s Huskies (13-10, 4-6 American) have been without Alterique Gilbert for the past few games, and it got even worse news this week when an MRI revealed they will be without Jalen Adams for upwards of a month.
Without two of its top three scorers, UConn has found itself in an unenviable position, but not one that lacks all optimism. After an initial rough adjustment, the Huskies played well in the second half against a tough Temple team, but not well enough to narrow the gap.
