The UConn game is being moved to 2:00 EST due to weather issues. As far south as north Florida there will be snow and ice. Crazy!

I was thrilled with UConn's home attendance at the Maryland game. 10,126. Last season UConn was fourth with an average of 8,888 so it was a good start. Then they played Notre Dame at the XL center before a sell-out crowd of 15,564. The next game was at Foxwoods, which was basically a sellout of 9151. You can bet that it would have been well over 10,000 if it was in Hartford. The most recent home game was at the XL again and against a bottom level team of the AAC in Memphis. They surprised me with a great crowd of 12,261.

So far this season, they are averaging 11,514. This will go down as Gampel only holds 10,167 but UConn could see an increase of close to 2,000 fans per game if this keeps up.

This should move them to second for the season behind the wonderful fans of South Carolina, who are averaging well over 12,000 this season.

Say goodbye to the top 25 Harry!!! Villanova got beat up at home by 23, 76-53 to Butler. It's really no surprise. The Wildcats had only one good win, against Duke. And as we all know, Duke is really not that good!!!!

Love ya Harry!!

Is there a team more jinxed with injury issues than Notre Dame. They lost three players to ACL injuries to their left legs. Brianna Turner at the end of last season, Mychal Johnson early in the season and Mikayla Vaughn not long after that.

Now, graduate student and Stanford transfer Lili Thompson has hurt her left knee in their last game against Wake Forest. They find out Wednesday what the prognosis is, but she will miss their next game for sure against Miami.

This leaves them with only seven scholarship players for the Hurricanes. This could be a problem with any foul trouble and possible fatigue by year end. No real rest for the starters in the tough ACC.

UConn stats after their first 11 games seem odd. Not weird odd, but just not even. For example, the Huskies have scored 991 points on 389 baskets. It doesn't stop there. UConn has 251 assists on those baskets, compared to 159 turnovers. That gives the Huskies a 1.57 assist-to-turnover ratio. Very odd.... 8-) 

UConn has taken 729 shots, of which 245 were three-point attempts. Of the three point shots, 99 went in. They have also 157 free throws tries. So odd...  Personal fouls, also odd at 147. Offensive rebounds = 123, while defensive rebounds come in at 345. Even UConn's opponents have odd stats. Shots made = 249 out of 707, assists = 137 and total rebounds = 355. Maybe this will all even out soon... ;)

The oddest stats so far this season are the following:

1. Katie Lou is 5th in scoring at 135 points.
2. Crystal has only taken 13 free throws, same as Megan.
3. Gabby already has 37 turnovers.
4. Kia leads the team with 31 made threes.
5. Pheesa has 89 rebounds, 1 behind the leader, Z.

All these odd stats are starting to get weird...bring on East Carolina..!!

Go Huskies..!!
