One week ago, Connecticut set the stage for their return to the at-large conversation by beating then-No. 3 Villanova in Philadelphia. Tonight, they pretty much beat down the door, with a 73-62 home win over eighth-ranked West Virginia.
Big Bubble Monday: UConn Handles No. 8 West Virginia, 73-62
Two top ten wins in a week’s time, without a letdown loss in between, significantly boosts the Huskies’ candidacy in a soft bubble season.
On Sunday, UConn will look to extend their streak to four, as they host Louisville, another team who’s looking to solidify a bid. The Cardinals won the first meeting between the two back on February 1.
Head over to The UConn Blog and our West Virginia site, The Smoking Musket, to read more on the Huskies’ big win.
