Paw Prints The Daily Roundup

It’s game day for the UConn Huskies football team as they will host the Syracuse Orange this afternoon at Rentschler Field. A win will make the Huskies bowl-eligible. Kickoff is scheduled for 12 p.m. and the game will be televised locally on My-TV9. If you can’t make the game, you can always catch the radio broadcast on the WTIC/UConn Football Radio Network. And if you missed my game preview, be sure to check that out as well.

Expect the game recap to be up later than normal as I will be attending the game today. Tailgating starts around 8 a.m.

It’s also game day for the UConn Huskies women’s basketball team as they will host the Richmond Spiders in their second game in the WBCA Classic.   Tip is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. and the game will be broadcast locally here in Connecticut on CPTV. The game is also available on the internet for a fee through Hoop Streams. If you can’t catch the television broadcast, you can listen to the game on the WTIC/UConn Radio Network.
