From my season preview, (culled from Athlon, Lindy's and Street and Smith's)

The Huskies, national champion as recently as four years ago, have fallen on hard times. They won 32 games that year but just 30 in the last two years, including 14-18 last season. Kevin Ollie, despite having that national title on his resume, has been fired. But new coach Danny Hurley, “Has intriguing talent across the roster”. Jalen Adams, (6-3 18.1ppg, 4.7apg) is the AAC’s best player. Christian Vital (6-2 14.9ppg, 5.4rpg ) is another backcourt threat. Duquesne transfer Alterique Gilbert (6-0) “missed nearly all of the last two seasons with shoulder woes and may be the first player in NCAA history to be named preseason conference Rookie of the Year three straight years”. He was a Top 50 recruit and “If he can remain healthy, his considerable talents will be game changers.” Tarin Smith, (6-2 12.4ppg 3.2apg) will give them more backcourt strength - and they won those last two national titles from the backcourt.

“It’s the frontcourt where question marks rise. Josh Carleton (6-9 242, 4.4p 3.7r), showed skills as a freshman and Eric Cobb (6-9 280, 1/7p 2.7r) seems re-energized after clashing with Ollie. St. John’s grad transfer Kassoum Yakwe (6-7 210, 1.4p 1.9r) could be a shot-swatting presence.” UCONN may not have enough up front to beat us but if our backcourt is still limited by injury we could have a hard time dealing with their backcourt.
