They had their shot but couldn't pull it out but Fairfield is a better team than Quinnipiac.

Heretofore, UConn simply could not stop anyone inside. Now they have a chance. - The second half was an incredibly controlled effort by UConn. That was the key to their offense which came alive. - JC did everyone a favor by staying away. No way the young kids would have responded the way they did if they knew JC was going to rip their heads off every time they came to the bench.
