After a third consecutive sub-.500 season without an NCAA tournament appearance, it feels a little difficult to be positive about this year’s UConn men’s basketball team. However the program is heading in a better direction under Dan Hurley, and even if it didn't show up in the win/loss record, the numbers are there to support it.
If you want to look specifically at game results, take this: the Huskies had an average margin of victory of 3.7 points per game in the 2018-19 season. While that doesn’t sound like much, it is the best margin since 2016 (the last time UConn made the tournament).
