For the entire season, UConn’s Achilles’ heel has been shooting. It sounds so simple — to win games, the ball needs to go through the hoop. But it was never really that simple for the Huskies. | Originally published March 21, 2021

Throughout the entire season, UConn’s identity has been defense and rebounding. The Huskies are a hard-nosed, tough, defensive team who can stifle even the best players in the country. The offense on the other hand has been inconsistent, and the scoring is known to dry up for extended stretches. | Originally published March 15, 2021

About 10 months ago, the Huskies got a commitment from Adama Sanogo, who was leaning towards Seton Hall before UConn head coach Dan Hurley and his staff flipped him. Now, Sanogo is playing a key role in clinching the No. 3 seed in the Big East Tournament for the Huskies on Seton Hall’s court with a 69-58 victory. | Originally published March 4, 2021

If there’s one thing we all learned from Tuesday night’s UConn vs. Georgetown men’s basketball game, it’s that just because it’s a close game doesn’t mean it’s a good game. | Originally published February 24, 2021

There were a ton of positives for UConn to take out of Tuesday night’s 73-61 victory over Providence. Tyrese Martin and R.J. Cole had really good games, combining for 31 points with decently efficient shooting. But really, there’s only one story to talk about from Tuesday — James Bouknight is back. | Originally published February 17, 2021

UConn very well could have won this game, but there’s no one who can reasonably say they played well enough to deserve to. That’s something not often said about a team that had the lead for over 33 minutes of game time, but the Huskies simply made too many mistakes down the stretch to expect a win. | Originally published January 19, 2021

It was UConn’s first game experiencing life without James Bouknight — who didn’t play after injuring his arm a few days ago against Marquette — so the Huskies needed someone else to step up and provide the scoring. | Originally published January 9, 2021

Heading into Sunday’s game, redshirt-junior R.J. Cole was a perfect 4-for-4 from the charity stripe. Through the first 39 minutes and 48 seconds of the game against Creighton, he added another six makes on six attempts. Winning by two, with 11 seconds left in regulation, Cole found himself standing at the line once again with a chance to ice the game. | Originally published December 21, 2020
