Connecticut upsets No. 3 Villanova

A “must win” for Connecticut turned into just another upset of a Big East top 10 team. Kemba Walker scored a career-high 29 points and the Huskies continued the four-day run of losses by Big East top 10 teams, beating No. 3 Villanova 84-75 on Monday night.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A “must win” for Connecticut turned into just another upset of a Big East top 10 team.

Kemba Walker scored a career-high 29 points and the Huskies continued the four-day run of losses by Big East top 10 teams, beating No. 3 Villanova 84-75 on Monday night.

Connecticut (15-11, 5-8) was coming off a 60-48 loss to Cincinnati, one of its worst offensive performances in years. The Huskies hit the 48-point mark less than 4 minutes into the second half.

The loss to Cincinnati came in Calhoun’s first game back after a 3½-week medical leave. He call it “embarrassing.” This wiped away some of that feeling.

“We looked like a UConn team tonight,” he said. “It was a terrific win for us at a terrific time against a terrific team.”
