It’s game day for the No. 2/2 UConn Huskies men’s basketball team as they open up Big East Conference play against the No. 12/9 Georgetown Hoyas. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 PM and the game will be televised nationally on ESPN2. Expect the game recap to be a little late because I have an event to attend to. I will be DVR’ing it and watching it when I get home.
I will be at the Mel Thomas book signing tonight in East Haven, CT at the Irish-American Community Center at 7:30 PM. I hope to bring back you back some pictures of the event to post late tonight or on Tuesday.
