The Huskies will have their fair share of buy games this season. No. 3 UConn men's basketball will participate in the Maui Invitational, Big East-Big 12 Battle and endure 20 Big East conference dates. This means head coach Dan Hurley, same with most other big-time programs, play buy games against weaker opponents to provide his team with a break and time to mesh in game action. The Huskies are playing five of them this year, hosting Sacred Heart, New Hampshire, Le Moyne, Texas A&M-Commerce and Maryland-Eastern Shore.

It’s been one cupcake after another for UConn basketball as it starts its quest for a three-peat, but the Huskies have taken care of business to cruise out to a 3-0 start. UConn has not faced a team ranked higher than No. 336 in KenPom (Sacred Heart) this season, but has used this stretch to get a relatively inexperienced group a chance to gel together before a brutal stretch of non conference games, beginning with the Maui Invitational next week. Our staff takes a look at some of the biggest takeaways from UConn’s 3-0 start to the season.

The Huskies have one more tune-up before the Maui Invitational.

No. 2 UConn men's basketball has one more tune-up before three games against top competition Thanksgiving week at the Maui Invitational.
