The Scarlet Knights defeated the Huskies up in Connecticut to remain the only undefeated team in the Big East. This game looked like it was going to be a blowout but turned out to be quite tight in the end. Leading by as many as 14 in the second half, the Scarlet Knights’ lead faded away as UConn finished on an 11-5 run. The Knights held on with some clutch baskets and free throws by Cappie Pondexter to win 60-56.
Rutgers had been 0-18 in Connecticut against the Huskies before tonight. (They had played well against other teams in the Storrs gym and in Hartford, but they have had trouble coming out on top against the Huskies.)
