UConn hopes to snap a four-game losing streak as the Huskies host to Cincinnati on Sunday afternoon.
Despite the return of Alterique Gilbert from injury, the Huskies struggled to score in Thursday’s loss to SMU. UConn made only 21 of its 70 field goal attempts, en route to one of the Huskies’ worst offensive performances of the year. The inefficiency, which Dan Hurley is surely hoping is merely a slump rather than a trend, comes at a troubling time as the Huskies had recently looked to be righting the ship.
They’ll have to be better against the Bearcats (22-4, 11-2 American), who continue to have one of the toughest defenses in the nation.
