Connecticut Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

UConn is rapidly becoming the team that it's most easy to feel sorry for. That's not even factoring in the tragic death of Jasper Howard in an on-campus stabbing two weeks ago.

The tragedy takes precedence in the minds of the UConn program and its followers over anything that happens on the field. But what has happened on the field has been a steady string of missed opportunities and botched fourth quarters that have the 4-4 Huskies struggling for their postseason lives instead of boasting an 8-0 record, which it could have had if its four losses had ended just a few minutes (or in the case of the Rutgers game a week ago, seconds) sooner.

The challenges only continue for coach Randy Edsall and his staff.
