UConn men’s basketball might set the record for most heart-rending losses in a season, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t positives to take from their latest gutting defeat, 79-75 to Tulsa.
The should-be closing lineup
Although UConn suffered a fourth-straight heartbreaking loss to Tulsa on Sunday, you wouldn’t know it when Akok Akok and Sidney Wilson were sharing the court.
On-court as the center and power forward, respectively, the UConn offense looked totally transformed. Akok was wild around the rim, blocking nearly every shot in existence as usual, and seemingly relishing as working as the lead rim protector.
