I can't claim to be totally up on what is going on with UConn.  I can say that Geno has for years neglected to develop his bench and got away with it because of the talent level of his starting 5 plus one or two more.  Seems like this year and last year it was all about Bueckers, who is a fantastic player, but too much of any one player can bite a team if the player is off for an important game or gets hurt.  Geno likes to talk a lot of negativity about his players, albeit often in a joking way.  Perhaps this group of players is not finding the humor in it or are letting his coaching style get into their heads.  The other issue is usually UConn has something like one superstar and two other stars who make All-America teams starting.  This season aside from Buecker they don't seem to have the star power they used to have when they won all those games in a row.
