When I got out of the house and into the car this morning the temperature gauge read 1. ONE!
It got up to 7 by the time I got to Hartford but jeez!
We’ll see if the Huskies can somehow heat up this morning (afternoon) against Marquette at the XL Center. It can’t get much worse than their second-half effort against Providence Wednesday night.
– Marquette is perhaps the most unique team in the Big East. The Golden Eagles possess the shortest and tallest players in the league.
Guard Maurice Acker is listed at 5-foot-7 or 5-foot-8, depending on where you look. And backup center Youssoupha Mbao is 7-foot-2. (DePaul’s Kene Obi is 7-2 as well).
Mbao is hurt and won’t play today. Besides, it’s the biggest differential UConn has faced this season.
Central Florida featured the generously listed 5-foot-9 A.J. Rompza and the lumbering 7-foot-4 Jakub Kusmieruk.
OK, enough useless information. Let’s watch some basketball.
