New Haven coach Ted Hotaling: "What an incredible opportunity for our program, our university. Just to be able to be in this environment to witness it firsthand, to play on this floor against a great, really well-coached team was a pretty unique experience for us."

UConn 62, New Haven 46, 7:55 2H. Ball up to 15 points for the Huskies. Knee jerk reaction is that the Chargers will be very competitive in the NEC and finish better than 10th, where they were picked in the preseason

Solo Ball has been fouled while shooting a 3 on back-to-back possessions. Chalk that up under things you don't see every day

One Huskie who hasn't looked sluggish at all tonight is Jaylin Stewart. Four quick points to start the second half as UConn extends its lead to 45-28. First player into double figures for either team.
