Once upon a time we had a feature on this site known as "Rutgers Hate Week," but seeing as UConn has ended each and every Rutgers Hate Week by losing to Rutgers we've abandoned the idea in favor of pretending football doesn't exist at all. Still, as much as we may want to deny it, Rutgers football is a thing that exists and therefore UConn must play them today.
I'm traveling and don't have a lot of time for a preview, but I did have a little chat with Jerry over at nj.com, head over there to see my thoughts on the game. Of note: Rutgers still has a longshot chance at the BCS. UConn can spoil those dreams with a win today (it'll also keep UConn alive in the race for bowl eligibility, which is a plus).
Finally, after yesterday's disappointing matchup with Central Florida, the men's basketball team (now with 100% more point guards) will try to get back on track against Florida St. That game, which tips at 2, is on Versus, and you should discuss it in the comments.
UConn and Rutgers kickoff at noon on ESPN2. Join us in the comments. Go Huskies.

The stakes are so very high
Unless Pasqualoni can actually get this team to win a game at home, we will no longer be able to taunt Rutgers fans about the whole “them never winning even a share of this crappy conference’s championship” thing.

Apparently there's going to be like 2,000 people at this game
And about 50-50 split between UConn and Rutgers. So yeah, it took 11 months of Paul Pasqualoni to evaporate 95% of the fanbase’s enthusiasm.

At the half
It’s time to take that drive to the in-laws for TURKEY TIME! Which will then be followed by PIE!

I also just got two simultaneous texts
saying “I love Boatright.” I do too.

Sweet floater by Lamb
Aaaand Rutgers finally scores. 40-16 with 7:57 to go.
Thoroughly enjoying life atop whatever conference UConn is in today.
So basically the first half of this FSU game
has looked like the first half of every other game this year, except FSU is clearly the best team we’ve played.

Nova completes a 90 yard TD pass
Terrible defense. Thankfully, we have enough margin for error that I won’t even complain.

Boatright fouled behind 3, misses
No matter; Lamb hits a 3 right away.

Vintage Shabazz!
Also, probably goal tending on FSU, not called.
Thoroughly enjoying life atop whatever conference UConn is in today.
And another turnover on Rutgers!
TEE HEE!
Thoroughly enjoying life atop whatever conference UConn is in today.
I am on the Boatright bandwagon
Nice to have two of the top 5 guards in the country backed up by a kid with this kind of potential. He looks awesome. I honestly mistook him for Kemba for a brief moment.

We need to get a couple stops in a row here
Offense is mostly clicking.

Goddamn
We can’t sustain any momentum.

Incredible
Every time we make a shot, FSU makes some bullshit impossible play.
Thoroughly enjoying life atop whatever conference UConn is in today.
They're a pesky bunch
Scoring this much, we should be up 15/20

Boatright
is awesome.
Also awesome: Randy Edsall about to blow a 27-point lead against NC State.

Painful-looking shoulder injury for FSU guy
Ouch.

God damn it do I hate when we settle for 3-pointers
WHY IS OLANDER SHOOTING 3S

Every time we score, they come right back down and get a wide open look.

How many 3s are they going to hit
A million? Probably a million.

Yeah, this is nuts
They’re worse than us at 3P%.

That was the Roscoe Smithiest
Play of all time. Clutch, Hustle board, probable travel and then blocked trying to shoot through three guys

Let's maybe try and get to the rack here?
We have like 3 awesome guys who should be able to get to the rim.

Drummond should theoretically be a zone-buster by himself
Thoroughly enjoying life atop whatever conference UConn is in today.
by Kevin Meacham on Nov 26, 2011 3:54 PM EST up reply actions
why
Shouldn’t Drummond be the one flashing to the free throw line in the middle of the zone? He’s a much better passer than Tyler.
by fcmonk on Nov 26, 2011 3:55 PM EST via iPhone app reply actions
Very good point
Guessing because he’s so lost most of the time.
by UConnBlog Justin on Nov 26, 2011 3:56 PM EST up reply actions
This team is just not making winning plays
Turnovers, stupid lob passes, missed free throws…
Thoroughly enjoying life atop whatever conference UConn is in today.
Why are you getting out of the way, Drummond?
Pretty sure he got the foul, but he always does it so softly that guys can just power through and finish. Gotta make them earn that stuff.

No team will ever miss a clutch 3 or a clutch FT vs. us ever again
Getting ridiculous.

This is so fucking depressing
to blow two games like this where you have a double-digit lead.

You can almost see him thinking instead of just making plays.

Ye gods, Shabazz
Love him, but he’s really fucked us over in these last couple minutes. Totally losing composure. Maybe Porter shouldn’t be tweeting that he’s the best PG in America just yet.
Thoroughly enjoying life atop whatever conference UConn is in today.
OK, that's probably a bit much
But fuck him as of right now.

Boatright fouled on a 3-pointer
Did not like either of those shots. ARGH.

Well, I can't fucking believe Boatright just made all 3
Cool as a cucumber.

Watch Boatright foul someone right now too

Good defense for 25 seconds
And a 7th-grade girls basketball shot turns into an offensive rebound and putback. Fucking lucky FSU.

Boatright is two for two in OT
One great move, one great pass.
Thoroughly enjoying life atop whatever conference UConn is in today.
Great play by Olander
Just got a finger on that to tip it to Shabazz and prevent the offensive rebound under the hoop.

Drummond with 2 nice plays on that possession
Tip and great D.
GIVE THE BALL TO BOAT SHOW

And then Drummond with a stupid foul
Someone’s gotta teach this kid that if you’re gonna foul someone, FOUL SOMEONE.

I guess if you take five of those, you’ll make 1.

Oh my god what a terrible idea to try and pass that ball up 2 with 1 minute left. POSSESS THE BALL.

BOAT SHOW!
What a debut from Boatright. Unreal win, that was almost a headscratching loss. This team does not like closing out games one bit.
