Paw Prints - The Daily Roundup

When the rankings come out this afternoon, the UConn Huskies men’s and women’s basketball teams will most likely be No. 1 again. There’s no reason for the men to fall from their perch and definitely no reason for the women to fall either.

If anyone’s in the Providence area, can you please go by there and ask the schedule maker why on earth they would schedule the UConn men and women at the same time on Wednesday night. Once a season is understandable but this is getting ridiculous. Both the UConn men and women play at 7 PM on Wednesday night. So if you’re not going to the men’s game at Gampel then you’ll have your choice of what to watch. For me it’s simple, I watch both at the same time.
