00:02 The finale of the Empire Classic yesterday, DRS,
00:05 between UConn, the defending national champions,
00:08 and Texas, a top 15 tilt.
00:10 And UConn looks the part of a national champion again.
00:14 DRS, we know about their run in March,
00:17 six victories in the NCAA tournament,
00:19 all by double digits.
00:21 They have won 20 consecutive non-conference games,
00:24 dating back to the start of 2022-23,
00:27 by double digits.
00:28 Dan Hurley's Huskies, a very formidable side this year,
00:32 once again, DRS, in college hoops.
00:35 Yes, they are.
00:35 And I don't know how deep they're going to be this year,
00:37 because last year, it seemed like they could just do,
00:39 like, a race car change of five guys in, five guys out,
00:42 and be just as good as their starting lineup,
00:44 which is incredible.
00:44 We'll see how that holds on,
00:45 but if Klingon's only going to play 12 minutes in that game,
00:47 pick up three fouls, and score seven points,
00:49 but yet some of your bench guys playing 28 and 27 minutes,
00:52 and you come away with a double-digit victory
00:54 against a top 15 team.
00:56 Look, UConn is built for this.
00:57 Let's see how they go throughout the season.
00:58 But certainly, they have the MO to say,
01:00 "Been there, done that before."
01:02 (upbeat music)
01:05 (bells chiming)
