This year’s version of the UConn Huskies men’s basketball team is a lot like the Boston Red Sox of the early 2000’s.
Just when things get good, they suck you back in, only to end up disappointing you.
On his senior night at Purcell Pavilion in South Bend, IN, Notre Dame Fighting Irish senior Tory Jackson scored 20 of his 22 points in the second half to lead them to a 58-50 win over the Huskies in front of 9,149 and nationally-televised audience on ESPN.
It didn’t take long for Don Orsillo and Jerry Remy to get the giggles during tonight’s Boston Red Sox vs Boston College Eagles game.
Baseball is alive and well as the Boston Red Sox kicked off their 2010 spring training game schedule against the Northeastern Huskies this afternoon.
In the first game of a day/night doubleheader, the Red Sox beat the Huskies 15-0.
Casey Kelly started for the Red Sox and was perfect in his inning of work. David Ortiz had a 2-run homer, Luis Exposito had a 2-run double and Gil Velazquez added a 2-run double.
Welcome to the gigantic SOX & Dawgs 2010 MLB preview. Over the next week you will get a team by team look at its key players, new faces, their potential MVP, Cy Young and Rookie of the Year candidates, their possible starting lineup and rotation as well as a quick summary.
This preview was sculpted over a nearly seven week period in January and February with some mild tweaking as we went along prior to publication. It comes from a culmination of reading so many baseball magazines, periodicals, articles and websites that in some cases I may know a team better that its own management.
Yesterday we looked at the NL Central, Sunday was the NL West, Monday was the AL West and today it’s the AL Central.
Paw Prints is our daily look at the happenings for the UConn Huskies football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball teams as well as some of the other sports. We will do our best to bring you the links from all of the media that covers the Huskies on a daily basis.
With Boston Red Sox pitcher Tim Wakefield being one of the few knuckleballers out there, he doesn’t have many opportunities to teach his skill.
However in Japan, there’s 18-year old girl named Eri Yoshida who idolizes Wakefield. She taught herself how to throw the knuckler emulating Wakefield’s motion and style.
On Tuesday at Red Sox camp, Wakefield got a chance to watch his protégé throw and he came away impressed with her.
The NCAA Women’s Basketball polls are out and as no surprise to anyone, we find the UConn Huskies sitting on top yet again.
Joining the Huskies from the Big East in the top 10 are Notre Dame and West Virginia. Georgetown and St. John’s are also ranked in the top 25.
There’s one other team from the state of Connecticut and that is the University of Hartford Hawks led by former UConn star Jen Rizzotti.

After working out on Monday, one of the newest members of the Boston Red Sox, Boof Bonser, took time out of his day to talk with NESN’s Heidi Watney.
Bonser talked about his name and working his way into the mix for a spot in the Red Sox bullpen.
