It’s been a tough ride for Dan Hurley and the Huskies lately in Big East play, especially with the injury to Liam McNeeley. Perhaps the freshman is more critical to this year’s success than we thought, but we are seeing some positive developments for UConn despite these close losses piling up.

In this episode, we discuss if there’s any need to adjust expectations for the 2025 postseason, the growth of Samson Johnson, and what the Huskies need to improve before a February stretch of schedule that is going to be quite challenging. We also discussed the NBA All-Star Weekend Dunk Contest, which will feature two former Huskies!

Enjoy!
