The Huskies will have some big battles in the non-conference this season.

Casparius started Game 4 of the Fall Classic.
One of the strengths of this year’s UConn team will be its size and athleticism on the wing. The Huskies were among the tallest teams in the country last season and though the now-departed 7-foot-2 Donovan Clingan helped this figure, size at guard and forward made them a matchup nightmare. The quintet of players that will fill in from off-ball guard to perhaps even center if head coach Dan Hurley opts to go small-ball for maximum spacing will be a strength of this team if it wants to go deep in the NCAA Tournament again.

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.
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. The Huskies, which moved up one spot in this week's AP poll, will welcome in East Texas A&M, which is opening its season with four KenPom top-50 opponents in its first six games. This isn't the only time the Lions will head north, as they will head to the North Shore of Massachusetts and face off against Stonehill on Nov. 25. TV: FS1 Radio: UConn Sports Network Odds: UConn…

No. 2 UConn men’s basketball hasn’t lost consecutive games since Jan. 15 and Jan. 18, 2023 and haven’t done so in non-conference play in Dan Hurley’s tenure as head coach, which stretches back to the 2018-19 season. The Huskies will look to keep that streak alive on Tuesday against Colorado in the loser’s bracket of the Maui Invitational. The Buffaloes come in smarting after a 16-point defeat at the hands of Michigan State in their first game in Hawaii.
