Unfortunately that...

The UConn Huskies lost a heartbreaker to Syracuse on Saturday night, and the season has been a huge struggle, especially considering the talent level they possess. This is probably a top 5 team talent wise that Calhoun has ever assembled, but they just can’t seem it together. The student body however, is having a phenomenal year.
