Next Man Up: How UConn can stay afloat without James Bouknight

James Bouknight’s elbow surgery put UConn Twitter through the gamut of emotions last Wednesday. Between ‘he’s played his last game in a Husky uniform’ to ‘back in two weeks,’ there are conservative estimates that peg his return to come in roughly two to four weeks. For now, assume it keeps him out four weeks. In that span, there are seven games on the schedule within that time frame (pending COVID related cancellations and postponements), and UConn would probably need at least a few wins during that stretch to feel good about its NCAA prospects. In other words, the Hot Sauce Huskies will have to tread water until they get their star back.
