BIG HANDS

Although it came a few days ago, I finally got a chance to glance at my Sports Illustrated college basketball preview addition last night. For those of you who haven't seen it, SI put together a nice package, which includes a look at some of the country's most intriguing freshman.
Among that list of newcomers is UConn's Hasheem Thabeet, who is displayed with larger-than-life hands —— even though his real ones are big enough — in a short capsule mentioning the type of impact he could have. The look at each freshman was my favorite part otheeh preview, probably because each photo incorporated an interesting take as to what makes them special.

Here at the Civic Center, Fairfield is up 24-17 at the half and looking as if that first win will finally arrive.
