Game Preview

Even though his team has rattled off 13 straight victories, UConn coach Dan Hurley realizes the next three weeks are going to be anything but easy.

Half of the top-ranked Huskies’ final six games of the regular season are against teams currently in the Top 25, a tumultuous stretch that begins Saturday when UConn faces No. 4 Marquette in Hartford, Conn.

Following the meeting with the Golden Eagles (19-5, 10-3 Big East), the Huskies will head to Omaha, Neb., on Tuesday to take on No. 17 Creighton before returning home to play Villanova and Seton Hall.
