No other school has won more over that span.When the name “UConn” came up with a “4” seed next to its name three weekends ago on Selection Sunday, nobody raised too much of a stink. Four wins later — after no opponent came within 15 points of the Huskies — it’s becoming apparent this is a team that might have been overlooked. Or underestimated.“A lot of things happened,” coach Dan Hurley said in explaining how UConn’s profile went from world beater to middle of the pack in midseason.Most of that had to do with a string of six losses in eight games starting on New Year’s Eve. It was a dry spell that coincided, according to the coach, with a stretch wh...

Rain into tomorrow, storms possible

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:23:34 GMT

7Weather – Rain is here. Showers will be off and on over the next 24 hours. There’s a potential for thunderstorms tomorrow evening. We dry out Sunday with a cool wind. The wet and stormy weather will be from a system creating a severe weather outbreak across the middle of the country. The storm will be much weaker as it reaches our area. It’ll still have some energy so there’s a chance for thunderstorms late tomorrow evening (7-10 pm). The Storm Prediction Center highlights a slight chance for scattered severe storms in yellow. Although the greatest chance for stronger storms will mainly be for western Mass including the Berks and Litchfield Hills. Tomorrow evening, wind will be the biggest threat. There’s a risk for heavy rain and hail too. The chance for a tornado is low, but not zero, because there’s a lot of energy above us in the clouds with this system. This would mainly be for western Mass, because the storm will continue to weaken as it sp...
