UConn men’s basketball eliminated by Creighton in semifinals
The UConn men's basketball team lost to Creighton 71-62 in the Big East Tournament semifinals, struggling in the first half. Despite a late scoring run, they could not overcome a 17-point deficit. Head coach Dan Hurley expressed disappointment in the team's performance but remains optimistic for the upcoming NCAA Tournament. UConn is likely to be a No. 8 seed, facing a No. 9 seed in the first round. The Huskies showed improved bench production, with key contributions from players like Aidan Mahaney and Jaylin Stewart. However, struggles from top scorers Alex Karaban and Liam McNeeley may hinder their success in the tournament.
