UConn's Depth and Potential with a Deep Roster

Associated Press  

UConn is looking to make a big push for a third consecutive national title this season, despite losing three starters to the NBA. The Huskies have a deep and experienced roster with several players who can fill the scoring void left by the departed starters. Alex Karaban is the only returning starter, but coach Dan Hurley thinks this might be his deepest team yet. The Huskies will be looking to make a deep run in the NCAA tournament and will need to be at their best if they want to achieve their goals.
