Tarris Reed Jr. Emerging as a Major Post Power

There have been no sure things for the 2024-25 UConn men’s basketball team in Big East play. Recent games against DePaul and downtrodden Butler were too close for comfort, but the Huskies also found a way to beat Creighton and Marquette, topping the latter on the road.

Going into their game at Providence over the weekend, it was no guarantee that UConn would beat the sub-.500 Friars. The Huskies hadn’t won consecutive games in a month.
