Men’s basketball: Huskies outbattle Buckeyes, 84-68, in Hartford

HARTFORD — Ohio State and Michigan have never seen eye to eye on much, though that may be more a story for later this month on the gridiron. However, the respective schools’ men’s basketball programs, likely begrudgingly, do hold at least one thing in common: a loss to the 2026-27 UConn Huskies. After handing Michigan an eight-point loss last Friday, the No. 4 Huskies (4-0) doubled that margin a week later, taking down Ohio State (2-2) at PeoplesBank Arena Friday night, 84-68. “I liken [Ohio State] to that Texas team we played in here last year [a 71-63 UConn win],” UConn Head Coach Dan Hurley said after the game, praising the Buckeyes’ potential. “I think, right now, it feels like a good win, but I think it could be a win that ages well for us.” That Texas contest last December marked the first career start for now-sophomore Braylon Mullins.
