IT’S ANOTHER BIG ONE

Like Jim Calhoun said to the media today, a month ago who’d have thought this game would be so important?
But that’s the case when Rutgers pays a visit tomorrow — the first of two games between the schools in three weeks. And as much as the players and even Calhoun don’t want to make any game more important, this is again one of those supposed must wins, especially considering Rutgers is a weaker opponent.
UConn can move back into the Big East’s top 12 with a win and being on the right side of the cutoff point no matter how much time is left is also a good thing.
