UConn men’s basketball did just enough to stay consistently ahead of Hartford on its way to a 69-57 win over the Hawks at Gampel Pavilion Friday night. UConn is now 2-0 on the season, with three games scheduled for next week at Mohegan Sun.
It was an up and down night for the Huskies. They came out of the gate with energy, making a lot of shots early and looking locked-in defensively. But they faded in the final five minutes of the first half and also started the second half cold from the floor, ending the night with a much lower total than the 102 points from the season opener.
