Since the game is on Sunday, there is plenty of time to look around the net for news, notes and info on UConn. Not that there is much discussion of the game yet. Like in Pittsburgh, there is still the licking of wounds from a bad loss — like Denham Brown’s slump.
Pittsburgh awaits Sunday, and first place in the Big East will be at stake. It will be a game that requires absolute faith and resolute determination from UConn.
“When they start hitting us and knocking us down, what are we going to do?” coach Jim Calhoun said Monday. “I’ll cancel the game if they like. Obviously we’re not going to cancel the game. We think we can beat Pittsburgh. I saw this team gut it out with Pittsburgh and out-physical Pittsburgh.”
Brown was one of the players who helped do that Jan. 19, when the Huskies won 68-65, but in recent weeks he has not been that player.
So here’s where the information can be found on UConn.
UConn’s Athletic Site, Men’s B-ball
Hartford Courant, UConn section
HuskyBlog — Rather dry. Not opinion, just news and links.
Courtside Seats — More fun. Written by a UConn student who broadcasts the games for the campus radio.
The Boneyard — Rivals operated site for UConn. Always good to see what’s on the message boards of the other side. You can access it via Pitt’s. Strangely enough, they lack an Insider site.
I’m just hoping they show the game in Cleveland, but I fear I’ll be stuck with Cinci. instead.
