Spring Break
BRIDGEPORT- Another opponent, another game over before it started. So it was for top-seeded UConn, which buried No. 8 seed Texas, 89-55, in the second round of the NCAA tournament at the Arena at Harbor Yard Tuesday. With the win, the Huskies (34-1) advance to the Greensboro, N. (0) comments
BRIDGEPORT- No one seemed to do more damage to No. 8 seed Texas than Maya Moore in the Huskies 89-55 win Tuesday night over the Longhorns. Her first NCAA tournament game performance Sunday may not have been the one that people were looking for, even though she did score 17 points, but the second time around was the charm for UConn's regular season leading scorer.

After a quick one-day road trip to Worcester, Mass., the UConn baseball team will begin a long home-stand that will see the Huskies (10-10) play nine of their next 10 games at J.O. Christian field. The lone road game during that stretch will be an in-state match-up less than an hour away from campus against Hartford. (0) comments
After a dismal road trip to start the season, the softball team stands just two wins shy of .500 as they duel with Sacred Heart in a doubleheader to open the home schedule today. UConn (8-10) returned from a five-game tournament in Miami, Fla., winless and demoralized to begin the 2008 campaign, having been the victims of two crushing defeats at the hands of No. (0) comments
When I arrived at UConn four years ago, the vision of Emeka Okafor and Ben Gordon celebrating an NCAA championship was fresh in my mind. Now, as I prepare to graduate and move on from UConn, I'll be left with four years worth the frustrating memories - concluding with a step-back, game-winning jumper by San Diego's De'Jon Jackson that bounced the Huskies from this year's tourney.

BRIDGEPORT - She's not Tennessee's Pat Summitt or Rutgers' C. Vivian Stringer, but the head coach on the opposing sideline Tuesday night is a winning coach that UConn, and especially head coach Geno Auriemma, know very well. Texas' first-year head coach Gail Goestenkors, formerly coach of Duke from 1992-2007, was 2-2 against UConn since 1998 entering Tuesday's game. (0) comments
With the wind gusting upwards of 25 mph this past Thursday, the UConn men's tennis team never got their chance to take on in-state rivals Quinnipiac. As of now, no rematch has been scheduled and their current record for the season currently stands at 3-5. But for better or worse that will change today. (0) comments
Despite a seven game losing streak, UConn knows they are just one win away from turning a disastrous season into a success. The Huskies (0-7) have a chance to start that turnaround today when they take on No. 14 Yale (5-3) in New Haven at 3 p.m. The game is the finale of a six-game road trip for the Huskies. (0) comments
With two rounds of the dance in the books, there's a good chance you're already contemplating the aluminum bat treatment for your TV à la the kid from that unfortunate teen gambling PSA. You know the one. He goes from chiming "that shot was money" to a fit of Bobby Knight-like rage by commercial's end, as his team gets bounced and his parents are rendered terrified bystanders.

After a long, drawn-out and weary winter, baseball fans should have hailed the start of the 2008 season, when the defending World Series champion Boston Red Sox played the Oakland Athletics Tuesday. Instead, as the first pitch crossed home plate, most fans were sound asleep, tucked comfortably in their beds. (0) comments
