UConn struggles continue with loss to St. John’s Sunday

UCONN is just 4-4 since coach Dan Hurley proclaimed to an official that he was the best coach in the sport, reports Craig Meyer of USA TODAY.

“As it turns out, he may not even be the best coach in his own conference.

On Sunday, Hurley’s UConn team fell to Rick Pitino and No. 9 St. John’s 89-75 at Madison Square Garden in New York, giving the Red Storm a regular-season sweep of the two-time reigning national champion. With the loss, the Huskies are 4.5 games behind St. John’s for first place in the Big East, effectively eliminating them from the regular-season conference championship race.”

Joe Lunardi of ESPN projects the defending two-time national champion Huskies as an eight seed in the NCAA Tournament.
