Louisville Cardinals at Connecticut Huskies, Feb 28, 2010 2:00 PM EST
Try not to tear up too much, but this is the final Connecticut game for Gavin, Jerome and Stanley. Also, it's kinda important with regard to the Huskies' NCAA Tournament hopes.
Once you've read the preview, come on over and use this thread for all your in-game commenting needs.
Go Huskies.

Big East-wise
A win today would also give UConn a shot at that first-round bye. I don’t know if that’s preferable (we could use all the wins we can get) to being the 9 seed, but it’s out there.
Notre Dame’s in 8th at 8-8; Seton Hall has a chance to beat Marquette today to get to 8-8 as well. We’ve beaten both of them, so we’ll go into 8th with a win today, and the winner of Wednesday’s ND-UConn game will (in all likelihood) get the bye.
As mentioned before, UConn is fated to get the 8 or 9 seed, because Syracuse will be the #1 seed, and the universe would explode without a Syracuse-UConn meeting in MSG.
So, ESPN producers, get SixOvertimes.com in your bookmarks again.

Big East Tiebreaker
reverts to best record against the top of the conference. Louisville would clip us there with their ‘Cuse win, but we’d get by just about everyone else thanks to ’Nova and WVU.

Sorry, should have mentioned that
HtH is the first factor, in a multi-team tie it becomes a “mini-conference” where best win percentage among the tied teams wins out.

This day in UConn history, according to Joe D
The Slowdown Game against Rhode Island, and that game in ’04 where we beat Villanova in OT after Anderson hit a 3 to tie the game and Okafar blocked a shot at the buzzer.

That there’s the possibility of us signing a guard named Shabazz. This could be the best thing to happen to people’s names at UConn since ever.

My recruiting news:
Apparently someone named Tony Wroten has listed UConn as his current No. 1. I bring this up because the assist he makes at the 30 second mark of this video is the most absurd thing I’ve ever seen. I had to watch it like four times to figure out what he did.

Not many tears it sounds like, compared to the women's Senior Day
Then again, playing that remix of “Forever Young” isn’t likely to cause as many tears as Five For Fighting’s “100 Years”, which they played my freshman year for Ann Strother/Barbara Turner/Nicole Wolff/Wilinet Crockett.

Marquette just took the lead on Seton Hall

Hazell just made a 10 footer and got fouled, but they said the shot was after the foul. Iffy call, but Hazell to the line to tie.

Well, in my ramblings across bubble teams
I was looking to see where some people play. It’s nice when an organization has a memorable arena name, like the Dean Dome, like Cameron indoor, or even the RAC.
I found out the Murray State, who i guess isn’t really a bubble team but is 23-4, plays their home games here at the…
Regional Special Events Center
Thats even worse than a civic center

A little sad
Criminally underrated RB, though I think Greene was already a more powerful and decisive runner. Not sure if Greene’s ready to be a #1 guy and get 25+ carries a game, although I suppose with Washington back and [insert fifth-round RB pick here], it won’t be so bad.

Also, with the "Last Eight" rule
Does this mean the Jets can now sign someone else’s free agent? Because that’d be a plus that might make the deal a net win.

I’m not happy. The one thing I like is that, at least according to Card Chronicle, L’Ville does not do much in the way of halftime adjustments, so UConn should know whats coming now.
And just like that
