10-0 IN THE BIG EAST! UConn Survives Providence Battle | Live Reaction & Analysis
from The Hoops Cap Pod · host Big East Energy
STREAK SAVED. The #2 Huskies just moved to 20-1 (and a perfect 10-0 in Big East play) with a gritty 87-81 win over the Providence Friars at a rocking Gampel Pavilion. It wasn't always pretty, but Dan Hurley's squad found a way to close the door in the final five minutes. In this live reaction show, we’re breaking down: Tarris Reed Jr. Takes Over: 19 points, including 7 massive points in the clutch to seal the deal. Solo Ball’s Resilience: Even on a tough shooting night (5-18), he hit the 3-pointer that finally gave UConn some breathing room late. Unlikely Heroes: Shoutout to Malachi Smith (4/4 from deep!) and Eric Reibe (14 pts, 8 rebs) for stepping up when the starters were in foul trouble or struggling. The Big East Grind: How Providence (led by Jamier Jones' 20 pts) almost pulled off the upset and what this means for UConn’s momentum heading into Creighton on Saturday. What was your biggest takeaway from tonight's win? Are the Huskies the clear #1 team in the country right now? Let us know in the comments!
