It’s game day for the UConn Huskies men’s basketball and women’s basketball teams. The UConn women kick off the action in our nation’s capital against the Georgetown Hoyas at 3 PM on CPTV. The UConn men will host the Providence  Friars at Gampel Pavilion at 4 PM on MyTV9. Good job of scheduling by someone (note the sarcasm).

Matt Stout of the Norwich Bulletin, Neill Ostrout of the Connecticut Post and David Borges of the New Haven Register all have some notes on the UConn men’s basketball team.
