AND NOW ...

Well, that was interesting. I can't say I, nor anyone else following UConn, expected to see AIC clinging to a one-point halftime lead last night at Gampel. It served as a reminder of how young the Huskies are and how much of a growing process this is going to be.
The overwhelming sense I got from Coach Calhoun last night was disappointment in the performance of the sophomore class, the team's veterans. Jeff Adrien's lackluster effort was among Calhoun's biggest surprises, something i'm sure the bruising power forward will want to correct.
Although the exhibition opener shouldn't sound any alarms, it might help Husky Nation get a sense of what to expect in the early stretch. Talent aside, age and experience are very valuable in the game of basketball, and it's going to take time for UConn.
