Following UConn’s 72-69 win over No. 6 Michigan where it nearly fumbled away a 20-point second half lead, we ask some big questions about the team: Is there a chance the Huskies aren’t as good as we think? Or could the fact that they earned a top-10 win despite all that went wrong show just how good they are? We get into all that and break down what went wrong in the second half. We also recap the much more comfortable win over Utah and look ahead to Xavier and USF.

Happy Thanksgiving!
