After throttling Florida, UConn currently sits at 10-0 and they’re ranked as the No. 5 team in America. The Huskies are playing like a team that should be a popular selection to advance to the Final Four in the 2023 NCAA Tournament, if they can keep it up.
Donovan Clingan has played like one of the best shot blockers in America this season. He’s averaging two blocks per game. Coming out of high school, he was rated as the No. 8 center in America, according to the On3 Consensus Rankings in the 2022 cycle. So far, the 7-foot-1 center is living up to his lofty billing. His combination of size and shot blocking ability are going to make UConn extremely difficult to face the rest of the regular season and in March.
