It's game day for the UConn Huskies men's and women's basketball teams.

First up are the UConn men as they are in Pittsburgh to take on the Pitt Panthers at the Peterson Events Center. Tip is scheduled for 12 p.m. and the game will be broadcast nationally on ESPN2. The game is also available online at WatchESPN. You can also listen on the IMG/UConn Radio Network.

The UConn women will host the Syracuse Orange at the XL Center in Hartford, CT this afternoon. Tip is scheduled for 4 p.m. and the game will be broadcast on SNY. You can watch the game online for a small fee at SNYUConn.com. You can also listen on the IMG/UConn Radio Network.

My apologies for skipping out on yesterday's post. I had to take the day off from the site for personal reasons. Everything is fine and as you can see we're back up and running. Any posts you see from yesterday were back dated with the exeception of Steve's Patriots preview.
