Game Preview

Fresh off its first top-10 road win since 2009, No. 2 UConn will make the quick trip across the state line to battle Providence in the teams’ Big East regular-season finale on Saturday night.

Coach Dan Hurley has emphasized that his Huskies (27-3, 17-2 Big East) have to continue giving their best, although the upcoming game is essentially meaningless after UConn clinched the conference’s regular-season title last weekend.

“I personally feel like it’s important for me to put pressure on the team to win every game because we’re in that pressure point of the year,” Hurley said earlier this week. “It’s not OK for us to not give our best performance. We’ve had a great, great year. We know the position we’re in, and we want to keep achieving and playing to our identity.”
