For what it’s worth, the 2024-25 UConn Huskies are off to a historic start to the season offensively.

The 3-0 Huskies have scored more than 90 points in each of their first three games, a milestone UConn has accomplished only once in program history (1994-95 season).

UConn’s scoring explosion through the first 120 minutes of the season is even more telling when you consider how the Huskies got off to slow, weak starts in at least two of those games.

On the other hand, UConn, at 91.3 points per game, actually isn’t even in the top-25 in team points per game nationally. (The top scoring team in the country right now is UNC Wilmington at 117.5 points per game through the first two contests).

Still, the Huskies’ scoring was generous and they shared the ball like a Dan Hurley team. UConn has five guys averaging double figures so far, as well as three players shooting over 40 percent from three.

Yes, the season is still early, but the numbers are encouraging.

UConn’s leading scorers are Alex Karaban (18.0 ppg on 55.0 percent from three), Liam McNeeley (14.3 on 41.2 percent from three), Solo Ball (14.0 on 43.8 percent from three), Tarris Reed Jr. (12.7 points per game) and Jayden Ross (11.0 points per game).

The Huskies shouldn’t have a ton of trouble scoring this season, even against Big East competition.

As such, defense becomes the top priority for Hurley’s club as they move toward a shot at history.

Will guys like McNeeley and Aidan Mahaney be exposed on the defensive end in March, or will UConn’s team defense become so stout that it doesn’t matter?
