Before anyone gets too excited about UConn's first round 81-67 win over DePaul in the first round of the Big East Tournament lets remember a few facts. DePaul finished 16th and last in the Big East this year for the fourth year in a row. DePaul has the worst record in the country against fast breaks and they did come from 24 back to within 11 and 9.
The Huskies were led by Jeremy Lamb with 25 and Ryan Boatright with 19. Nothing I saw today changed my appraisal of this year's Huskies. Beating DePaul is a bit like getting a sultry adolescent to finally take the garbage out once.
Tomorrow the Huskies take on the West Virginia Mountaineers in a game that should provide a stiffer test.
