In the latest episode of our video pre-game show, Aman and Patrick recap an up-and-down week for UConn men’s basketball. The Huskies throttled No. 4 Marquette on Saturday but then got it handed back to them on Tuesday night at No. 15 Creighton.

We also talk about Tristen Newton’s excellence, the blueprint for beating UConn, and the anticipation around Saturday’s festivities: ESPN College GameDay, hockey games on campus, $2 Beer Night, and Rip Hamilton’s jersey retirement.
