Fast Break Pod: Sustaining Excellence

UConn Fast Break ·

2024/01/15

The UConn Huskies are a well-equipped group. They’re talented, deep, experienced, well-coached, and sitting (tied for) first in the Big East standings through six games.

It may be cliche to say the team will be better off for overcoming this adversity, but that is

UConn men’s basketball has dominated the early schedule and even set an NCAA record along the way while also winning the Empire Classic at MSG by beating Indiana and Texas, comfortably.So UConn is good, great even.But… Stephon Castle is hurt. Donovan Clingan was hurt. The Huskies are still dependent on a lot of youngsters and they’ve yet to be tested in any serious way this season.

UConn Fast Break ·

2023/11/16

The UConn Huskies are 3-0 as they get ready to take on Indiana and possibly No. 19 Texas at Madison Square Garden this Sunday and Monday. But not everything is perfect in Storrs.Stephon Castle sat out the MVSU game with a knee injury suffered during the Stonehill game but not diagnosed until a day or two later, according to head coach Dan Hurley. Without Castle, the Huskies looked sluggish even in a big victory against the Delta Devils. It probably doesn’t help that big man Donovan Clingan only
