Anyone else very excited about this game?

I love Conn and depending on the play of our PF/C guys, I think we could be really good. We're very quick, but seem to have some trouble getting rebounds.

I'm hoping that new guys Oriakhi and Majok will be able to come in and get rebounds the way Jeff Adrien and Thabeet could. Especially freshman Oriakhi, Jeff Adrien was a rebounding force for three years for us. I'm hoping Oriakhi can do the same thing. Gavin Edwards is a great backup and he has shown an ability to score, but he is not good at boxing out and getting a D-Rebound.

A big game today by Kemba Walker, Stanley Robinson, and Jerome Dyson is key though. When playing Duke, everyone has to be on all cylinders. I don't know if we'll get them yet, but by the end of the season, if we get our starting PF and C situation solidified, we'll be very tough to contend with.

I still believe that had we not lost Jerome Dyson for the year we would have def taken home a championship. He scores a lot of baskets and plays great defense. Huge loss. Good play out of Dyson is essential for us tonight

Go UCONN!

Better than rooting for dUKe, right?

Much better than rooting for the Blue Devils. Folks. UConn is what college bball is all about.

I just hate that Singler. He looks like such a jerk. And I don't like that Sheyer either.

Anyway, i'm very excited about this game. I like playing the best teams, that's why I love playing in the Big East and I'm extremely happy we're playing Duke and Kentucky this year.

Good luck Duke Fans, but MSG is Huskie Country! Hell will rain down on you!
