After the Huskies’ 85-74 loss to the St. John’s on Saturday, UConn has now lost four of their last five games and fallen to 15-4 on the season. While the Huskies have had flashes of their old self since starting Big East play, it has come and gone much more frequently due to their instability on the defensive end.
“We have become a team that’s easy to beat,” Dan Hurley said postgame. “We can’t score enough to beat you right now and we’re not playing great defense.”
UConn still ranks No. 11 in the country in defensive efficiency per KenPom, but the Huskies have played much worse than that as of late.
