Huskies rally for huge win against Florida

It seems like the words “toughness” and “heart” have lost all meaning in college basketball. They’re difficult to define in the context of sports and are often used haphazardly to describe successful players and teams.

But if you want to know what toughness is, look no further than Ryan Boatright, who was visibly limited by injury on Saturday and still played 39 minutes, hitting key free throws down the stretch to lift UConn to a 63-59 win at Florida.

He later described his left thigh contusion as one that has turned his leg “45 different colors,” but he stayed in the game knowing that a win in Gainesville could change the course of the season. More on this big win by Huskies from our friends at A Dime Back.
