TheOpenThread: No. 3 UConn (26-9) vs. No. 14 Bucknell (25-8), plus the night games

Houston_medium

It's liftoff time for UConn. After an afternoon of upsets and wild finishes, I'm slightly more trepidatious than I was this morning. One Big East team is done, and another looked awfully shaky in winning. For the sake of my heart, I'm hoping Kemba and Co. put a potentially-tricky Bucknell Bucknells squad away early.

We've got you covered for this one: for some pregame reading, check out both Justin's post on UConn's offense against the zone and my game preview; below the jump, we've got your full Thursday night TV schedule.

The Huskies play the No. 14 Bison starting at 7:20, and it will be televised on TNT (or March Madness On Demand). This is your OpenThread, and we invite you to stick around to talk about the late games. Hopefully we'll all be happy when the late games start.

Let's go Huskies.
