The University of Connecticut (UConn) men's basketball team has been performing impressively, securing wins in several games. They won the Empire Classic title, defeating Texas with a score of 81-71, led by Alex Karaban's 20 points. The team's success continued as they dominated Manhattan with a 37-22 lead at halftime, with Clingan scoring 12 points. UConn's consistent performance has garnered attention, winning 22 straight non-conference games by double digits and maintaining an 11-game winning streak. Their upcoming game is against Manhattan on Friday in Hartford.
UConn has a 37-22 lead with 3:45 between the Huskies, Jaspers and the intermission, and Ray Allen just took part in the t-shirt toss at the U4, so there’s that. Tristen Newton has eight assists for the Huskies as well. #UConn #BleedBlue
This one is going off the rails already. The #UConn lead is up to 16 with 5:15 to play before halftime, 35-19 the score over Manhattan. Clingan has 12, Hassan Diarra nine after he stepped up in a big way Monday against Texas. As you’d expect, all Huskies here today.
UConn gets a huge game from Alex Karaban (20 points) and beats Texas by double-figures. The Huskies can beat you a lot of different ways. No Stephon Castle, and Clingan only played 13 minutes.
That’s 11 in a row for #UConn, who just closed out an 81-71 win over Texas to win the Empire Classic. Karaban led the way with 20, and did it on 8-of-14 from the floor with three backbreakers down the stretch. Next for the Huskies: Manhattan on Friday in Hartford, at 2:00.
22. UConn simply refuses to play a close game against nonconference opponents. The Huskies just won their 22nd straight non-con game by double-digits. Reigning champs are 5-0. Next big game: Dec. 1 @ No. 1 Kansas.
#UConn is first to 69. The Huskies have won their last 81 when that happens. Samson Johnson is up to 15, and he still leads the way for the reigning national champions, who hold a 69-57 (hi Mom!) lead over Texas with 7:42 to play at the Garden.
Down the stretch they come at MSG, with #UConn up 20 and playing for an @EmpireClassicBB title tomorrow night barring a meltdown. Behind 21/11/6 from Newton, the Huskies have cruised in the second half as the crimson exodus begins from Indiana fans. UConn up 70-50 at the U4.
Indiana trails UConn 54-43 with 11:54 to play. Second chance points: UConn 15, Indiana 0. Huskies have grabbed half of their missed shots. #iubb
