So far the Huskies have done what they were supposed to do, one off night through 17 games is not the worst thing in the world. Tonight's game in Hartford and Saturday's in South Bend are going to give us a real progress report on the club. If Uconn fails to win tonight's game vs an undersized Nova squad their is cause for concern...we will know that this is not a top 5 team. Nova has played three legit NCAA teams this seaaon and has lost all three (Texas, Louisville, Marquette) -- Uconn has lost 3 of its last 4 with Nova and does not need to be the "signature win" that they covet. If the Huskies can contain Reynolds and keep Stokes quiet, this has the makings of a 10 point win. Uconn then takes the show on the road to ND, a tough place to play, and an easier potential loss to swallow. In both games the current squad has scores to settle..2-0 would be great, 1-1 is the minimum. I see the Huskies going 3-1 in their next 4 and heading to Freedom Hall at 19-2 (8-2)..then the schedule is really going to heat up. Dyson needs to get his stroke back (he has been awesome on defense) and Uconn still has to figure out how to get Stanley in the mix -- if the 1,4,5 positions continue to get a little better, this team may end up playing some very big games this March, we shall see, starting tonight at 7:00.

Notes...No news on Ater, not good for those of you looking to see him this year...Calhoun spent the morning yesteday in DC at the Obama Inauguration...Congrats to Howie D on his 200th win at Central...
