CALHOUN HUMOR

Jim Calhoun was relatively chipper in his postgame comments yesterday. It was a stark contrast to his on-court behavior as UConn squeezed out an overtime win against Rutgers.
"I did a little yelling and screaming," he said. "You would have, too."
That line followed his repeating mantra that he's not giving up on this team and plans to do whatever he can to keep this season going. Wins — in any shape or form — certainly make the process a bit easier and this was definitely needed.
The victory allowed Calhoun to relax a bit more with us afterward, evidenced by some of the quotes you may have read in different papers across the state.
The players, to my surprise, were not as animated, but that could've been part of the shock involving an extra five minutes players because of the Scarlet Knights' 3-pointer to tie at the buzzer.
Either way, there is a little momentum heading into Storrs for tomorrow's visit from Syracuse, another important game — as they all will be until whenever the season ends.
