Connecticut Huskies

The UConn Huskies are currently seeking their 11th conference win of the season, having won three of their past four games. They recently beat DePaul and a ranked Marquette squad, but suffered a home loss to St. John's before rebounding with a road win against #24 Creighton. Freshman forward Liam McNeeley has been dominant, scoring 56 points in his past two performances, while sophomore guard Solo Ball has been outstanding with three 20+ point games in his last five. Junior forward Alex Karaban has struggled recently, shooting below 40% in four of his last five games. Senior guard Hassan Diarra has only scored double digits in one of his past five games. The Huskies are ranked 32nd in DI in Ken Pomeroy's ratings and could enter the AP Top 25 with another win. They have a 6-2 record on the road and are averaging 78.8 points per game while allowing an average of 68.5 points. The team ranks 74th in offense, 77th in defense, and has a 17-7 record this season. Offensively, they shoot well from the field and free throw line, and have a solid three-point shooting percentage. Defensively, they need to improve their three-point defense.
