Despite leading for much of the game, the Huskies let Seton Hall hang around and lost in overtime, dropping to 1-2 in conference play. Here are some takeaways from the first UConn men’s basketball game since December 21st.
An impressive return to action
Kidwai: UConn lost but all things considered it was a really good performance on the road against a ranked team. The fact that it took overtime and a 27-point explosion from a Seton Hall bench player to take the Huskies down shows how hard of an out they are.
There are no moral victories when expectations are as high as they are for this team, but it’s also early January, not March, and the team was coming off a holiday + COVID break and may not have also been at full strength because of it.
