TWO MORE GAMES

As one of the reporters so appropriately called it, the Groundhog Day experience is almost over. After watching game after game in which the result was never in doubt early on this season covering UConn, the real excitement finally arrives at month’s end.
It’s not that I, like other beat writers, haven’t enjoyed things so far. It’s just that, like the players have been saying, we also wouldn’t mind seeing a challenge.
I’m sure tomorrow will be interesting with Pepperdine and it’s crazed offensive style, but, come on, does anyone really think UConn has a shot of losing? Ditto for Coppin State, minus all the scoring.
I truly believe this UConn team is going to be good. But I really want to see what happens when they face a challenge.
As writers, our lives are a product of routine. Still, every once in a while it’s not bad to be surprised.
