UConn Men's Basketball Falls to Colorado

The No. 2 UConn women's basketball team triumphed over No. 18 Ole Miss with a 73-60 victory in the Baha Mar Women's Championship, thanks to Paige Bueckers' 29 points and Azzi Fudd's 18 points. UConn initially built a significant lead but had to recover after Ole Miss cut it to three points in the fourth quarter. Meanwhile, the UConn men's team suffered a shocking 73-72 defeat to unranked Colorado in the Maui Invitational, marking their second consecutive loss after falling to Memphis in overtime. Freshman Liam McNeeley led the Huskies in scoring against Colorado with 20 points, but it wasn't enough as the Buffaloes rallied in the second half. UConn's struggles in the tournament have raised concerns about their defensive performance, with coach Dan Hurley emphasizing the need for improvement. The women's team is set to face Holy Cross next, while the men will play Maryland Eastern Shore.
