    Connecticut and Pittsburgh went retro Monday night. Not in what they were wearing or the music being played. They played a Big East-style game like the ones that gave the league its physical reputation.

    The Huskies (15-2, 3-0 Big East) bounced back from Saturday's 68-65 loss at North Carolina that knocked them from the No. 1 spot they held in the rankings for the previous five weeks.

    That Connecticut was able to play that way and win was even more impressive because preseason All-Americans Emeka Okafor and Ben Gordon didn't have their usual standout games, although Okafor came up big on the defensive end in the final minute. Denham Brown led the Huskies with 20 points.

    Julius Page had 14 points and Jaron Brown added 12 for the Panthers, who were off to their best start since the 1927-28 team went 21-0.
