Dan Hurley's did so despite losing sharpshooting freshman Braylon Mullins to injury. Early in the second half, Mullins took an elbow to the head and didn't return to the game.
FINAL: No. 2 UConn 75, Villanova 67. In overtime.15 straight wins. UConn continues to close -- ended on an 8-0 run. Braylon Mullins lost for the game early in the second half, but Alex Karaban and Solo Ball really stepped up. Both guys hit HUGE shots.pic.twitter.com/kGWI9JGxJP
