ESPN’s Seth Greenberg joins Big East Energy to break down how UConn has built a championship culture rooted in hard work and accountability, not just vibes. From Dan Hurley’s coaching philosophy to roster upgrades like Silas Demary Jr. and Malachi Smith, we dive into what makes the Huskies contenders again this season.


We cover UConn’s defensive improvements, non-conference slate against BYU, Kansas, and Florida, plus the leadership of Alex Karaban and the impact of veteran transfers like Dwayne Koroma and Alec Millender. Seth also shares how he would game plan against a Hurley-led national championship team.


Whether you’re a die-hard UConn fan or a Big East hoops fanatic, this conversation offers the perfect mix of analyst insight and fan perspective
