Huskies fall to Houston with another tough offensive performance

HOUSTON, Feb. 1 – Perhaps, it’s good that the New England Patriots won their fourth Super Bowl title under coach Bill Belicheck in a thrilling game Sunday over the Seattle Seahawks, 28-24. It pulls attention away from the struggling UConn men’s basketball team. The defending national champions had another poor shooting performance in a disappointing 70-68 loss to Houston. Ryan Boatright had a career-high 31 points for the Huskies (11-8, 4-4 AAC). But he had little help and it is becoming clear that UConn will need to win the AAC tournament next month in Hartford to secure a bid to the NCAA tournament. More on the game from our friends at A Dime Back.
