UConn's Dangerous Pattern That Could End Their Season
from The Hoops Cap Pod · host Big East Energy
This episode of The Hoops Cap is presented by Homefield Apparel — the go-to brand for premium, vintage-inspired college sportswear. Homefield is known for ultra-soft tees, authentic throwback designs, and officially licensed gear that every UConn fan should have in their rotation. UConn is 16–1, undefeated in Big East play, and stacked with talent — so why does it still feel like something’s missing? On this solo episode of The Hoops Cap, Mark Zanetto breaks down the post-game controversy following UConn’s 72–60 win over DePaul, explains why criticism is not disdain, and unpacks the bigger issue facing this team: finishing games. After Dan Hurley’s comments about metrics sparked debate, we zoom out and look at the season-long pattern — late runs allowed, missed chances to close, and what that could mean come March. This isn’t about hating. It’s about believing this team is capable of winning another national title. Then we preview a dangerous road matchup against a red-hot Seton Hall team at Prudential Center — a place UConn hasn’t won in four straight trips. The Pirates are elite defensively, physical, and playing with confidence under Shaheen Holloway. #UConn #GoHuskies #BigEastBasketball #CollegeBasketball #DanHurley #KenPom #NETRankings #Analytics #SetonHall #Pirates #TheHoopsCap #UConn's Dangerous Pattern That Could End Their Season Learn more about your ad choices.
