| Outlook |
|
Losing guard and defensive stalwart Ricky Moore hurts almost as much as losing star forward Richard Hamilton, but UConn is one of America's truly elite programs now, and help is on the way. For the Huskies not to win the Big East and go very deep in the NCAAs would be an upset, but El-Amin must remain healthy and a bit more offense from Voskuhl, an underrated role player who shone in the Final Four, wouldn't hurt. The Huskies will again look to play their up-tempo style, and few teams will be equipped to slow them down. But even if someone does, Connecticut has the savvy to play a half-court game, even though it's not Calhoun's preference.
