Wanna bet Jr. ? I say they don't make the Sweet 16.

UConn will be a sweet 16 team for sure!!

UConn has played very well through the toughest part of their schedule!! They should be a 4 seed for the NCAA tourney!!

Great win Huskies!!!

Happy New Year!!!!

nice cupcake win!!!! still not ranked....

Hartford's going down Jr. !!!!!!!
Ready for that name change?????
GO CARDS!!!!!!!!

Good job Bearcats!!!

Congrdulations Huskies!!!!! And their fans!!!!

Solid win over Buffalo.

Bring on Gardner - Webb!!

Uconn winning going away. Stanley Robinson 12 boards and Thabeet about 6 late in the 2nd half. better, much better. Not sure how good Buffalo is but that is a big improvement over the last two games of the year.

Guys, what the heck do you think is gonna happen when they play the Cardinals???

With a win by such a small margain, I am getting concerned about the showing the Huskies will provide in the Big East this year!!!

Calhoun better get these youg lads to FINISH the game.

When you're up 16 points, you need to put the other team away for good. They let Morgan State back into that game.

Put the muthas away boys!!!

Already Calhoun is unhappy with the teams defense in their 90-75 win over Assumption in a preseason game.
"I thought our defense was worse than atrocious" was his description. Not a good sign, especially, against onlyAssumption.
More Calhoun: " I walked past their kids after the game....no one was as big as me. We have 7-3, a couple of 6-9 guys,and they turned layups into adventures."
They started of the game misisng free throws, something that always seems to plague UConn teams. They need to toughen that up. where was Thabeet?. Try just 5 points against a very small team. And not among the leaders in getting rebounds. Not very good. That honor went to Jeff Adrein with 15 boards and 12 points. The only player that really got any praise was A. J. Price. Calhoun called him "sensational" and the "difference in the game".
His final appraisal isn't make me jump for joy either and is in fact down right scary: "Assumption did a great job of playing five guys out and gave us a lot of problems. That same offense is exactly what Memphis runs, except there'sa little different kind of player coming at you."
Memphis could be a potential opponent for the Huskies at the Garden in two weeks, depending how it fares up for the Huskies in the "Coaches vs Cancer" Tourney at Madison Square Garden.
The Huskies need a lot of work if they want to reverse their fortunes from last year aand make it into March Madness this season. And this "warmup game" doesn't really fill me with a lot of great feelings of hope that they will be making unanticipated waves through the the rest of the college basketabll season. They may not even make a ripple in the Big East at this rate.

With a 90 - 75 win over Assumption, the season begins. This team had better start playing some defense.

How do you give up 75 points to essentially a girls Catholic High School team like Assumption???

Judging by the first game, it appears to be another year like last year. Calhoun better get this team to toughen up or it is going to be a long season in a very good Big East this year.

In both pre-season polls, 10 Big East teams were in the top 25 or got votes to make the top 25. The Big East is going to beat each other up all year.
