UConn’s thrilling comeback win over Villanova in Hartford was a much-needed spark, but questions remain. We break down how the Huskies battled back from 14 down to secure a crucial victory and what it means for their tournament hopes. Meanwhile, officiating continues to be a talking point, as the whistle has seemingly gone against UConn in key moments—so how can the Huskies adjust and take control regardless of the calls? Up next, a major showdown at Madison Square Garden against St. John’s, a team that gave UConn all kinds of trouble in their first meeting. Can this win over Villanova be the turning point the Huskies need to build momentum for March? We dive into all that and more on today’s episode.

UConn’s thrilling 66-59 comeback win over Villanova kept their season afloat, but is this a true turning point or just another rollercoaster moment? After a crushing loss to Seton Hall, the Huskies found themselves in another hole—down 14 in the second half—before surging to victory with a dominant 27-6 run. We break down what this win means for their tournament hopes, how Dan Hurley’s squad can find consistency, and the impact of stars like Donovan Clingan and Tristen Newton returning to campus during NBA All-Star break. Plus, a look ahead to St. John’s at MSG and how UConn must adjust to stay in control.
Special guest Michael Cohen of FOX Sports joins the show to discuss UConn’s struggles, depth issues, and postseason outlook. Can the Huskies build on this win, or will inconsistency continue to define their season?
