The Huskies' downfall in Big East play began with a road loss at Xavier. The Musketeers challenged the Huskies defense and were the first team to score more than 80 points against UConn. Yet the main problem in that contest was the Huskies allowing Xavier to have a 19-point edge at the free throw line. Look for the Huskies to play a much better all-around game and even the season series against Xavier.
