Herb Pope added 15 points as the Pirates (13-2, 2-1 Big East) beatUConn (12-2, 2-1) for the first time since March 3, 2001. The win — Coach Kevin Willard’s biggest since he took over the program last season — snapped the Huskies’ seven-game winning streak.
Jeremy Lamb had 19 points for Connecticut, which was playing its final game without Coach Jim Calhoun, who was finishing a three-game N.C.A.A. suspension.
