The UConn offense sputtered once again as the Huskies dropped their second game in a row, this time to Providence, 70-59. They fall to 8-5 (5-5) in the Big East after the loss and have likely moved out of NCAA Tournament contention at this time.
The Huskies looked disjointed all afternoon. Down the stretch, they played well enough to keep PC’s lead down but couldn’t put enough plays together to tie up the game.
“They played better. They were tougher, they played better than us, coached better than us,” head coach Dan Hurley said.
