HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) -- Jalen Adams scored 18 points and UConn held off ECU 70-65 on Saturday for its first conference win this season.

Terry Larrier and Christian Vital each added 16 points for the Huskies (8-7, 1-2), who snapped a four-game losing streak.

B.J. Tyson led all scorers with 21 for ECU (7-8, 1-3), but missed a big 3-pointer with three seconds left that would have tied the game.

UConn led by as many as 12 points in the first half and by six with 48 seconds left after a free throw from Vital.

But Antwoine Anderson fouled Sean Williams on a 3-point attempt and he hit three foul shots with 25 seconds left cut the UConn lead to 68-65.

The Pirates got the ball back after a missed free throw by Larrier at the other end.

But Tyson missed from the left baseline and Tyler Polly hit two free throws on the other end to seal the win.

It was a sloppy game with the teams combining for 37 turnovers and just 19 assists.
