Connecticut
Mike Patrick and Bob Knight have the call on Thursday at 8pm on ESPN2.
This is a must win if UC wants to be in the mix for the conference title. Thoughts? |

I think this is definitely a must win. Can't lose at home and can't lose to anyone twice. Clark seems to play better at home. Hopefully he has a better game than he did yesterday and against UConn the first time. I'd love to see Cobb break out of his slump a little and knock down some shots like he did against SMU. I think we will be -6. UC 65 UConn 54 |

The game is a whiteout as well. Make sure if you are attending that you wear white!

Think we'll sell this one out? We had 12,071 for Temple, but that was a Saturday night. Had just under 10k for Houston last Wednesday. I think it'll be darn close.

I hope so. We don't have that many big games left besides this one, the Shootout and Memphis...

I think this is a must-win in regards to winning the league, but certainly not must-win to make the tourney, though. The goal at the beginning of the year, for me at least, was to simply make the tournament. I think we've impressed some, so maybe the goal has changed a little, but don't get too far ahead and think we're ready to be a 6 seed in the tourney. A loss wouldn't be the end of the world. We're currently on pace for an 8/9 seed, and I don't think a W/L would change that much, depending on how we finish the season obviously.
All that said, I think we should, and will, win it. Home-court will be big in this one. I expect the guys to be extremely fired up in this one, since they know they could've very easily won in Hartford. It's a big game in terms of perception and conference standing, but it's not a "MUST WIN" as some are saying IMO. Hope that all makes sense; I'm running on a few hours of sleep lol. UC 63 UConn 56 |

We had i believe upper 12 thousand last year against uconn, close to 13 k, that was also a very snowy week so parking on the street was brutal, but boy that crowd was rocking. This year uconn does have the name of defending national champs, and uconn game is always rocking so im hoping for a sellout. The students will be packed in there i know that, if it doesnt sell out it would just be the a few openings in the top corners. 8 oclock on thursday, espn, the general (Bob knight) is coming i cant wait!
