Kickoff slated for noon on Saturday with the Temple Owls down in Philly. A year of whining is now in the books, time to get it on. Should be a good game. Hopefully the weather does not make it to sloppy.

I will be tracking it online, thanks Jim Dolan -- I appreciate it. Unreal....

Schedule News!

The 2016 contest (Sept. 3) is in Knoxville. Great news for the program!

Hoops Schedule,

Huskies announce a somewhat challenging slate. One more meaty team would have been choice, but they will likely face Wisconsin if they get to the Jam final.

knee jerk thoughts: The Zaga trip will be a test, the game at UB will be RPI friendly and Thursday night at the Garden -- look out!
