A 13 game win streak to start the season by the UConn men’s basketball team was abruptly ended on opening night of Big East Conference play. The Huskies suffered a disappointing loss at home to the Georgetown Hoyas. Questions immediately arose about this talented yet unproven team yet those questions have been answered.

Coach Calhoun’s squad responded to that loss by reeling off seven straight wins. The win streak included three-straight on the road and culminated with a recent road win in Notre Dame. That impressive win ended the Fighting Irish’s 45 game home-winning streak, which was the longest in the nation.

The Big Dogs from Storrs slipped to number three after the Georgetown loss, but are now back at number two. The only team standing in their way from being number one is the hated Duke Blue Devils. The Huskies may stake their claim at being the top team in the nation during the regular season, but what really matters is they are staking their claim at being a number one seed in the Big Dance when the season really matters.

The woman’s basketball team has been number one all season, and has yet to lose a game. They are 19-0, and looking like a team that can run the table. 

The Lady Huskies are coming off their most impressive win in recent history. Despite playing without Caroline Doty, who suffered a season ending knee injury for the second consecutive season, UConn thoroughly dominated the number two team in the land, North Carolina, in Chapel Hill, N.C. The 88-58 beat down was the first one versus two match up the Huskies had played since 2003. They improved their overall record in top team games to 8-2 all-time.
