A BIG STEP FORWARD

Jim Calhoun has often said it's important for his team to take steps forward. Well, consider Wednesday's game a big one.
It has to be considered the Huskies' most complete performance, with something else showing through. Former Vermont coach Tom Brennan was doing color for TV and he spoke with Calhoun afterward. His message was how much the players seems to genuinely like each other.
It's a point well taken, especially considering they figure to be here together for a while since the roster is so young. What makes the relationships so unique is that these same players are competing each day for playing time.
That combination is something any coach can appreciate.
