With apologies to Mods, who likely is literally saving lives as I type, thought I'd go ahead/look ahead and move on to the Senior Day game Sunday. Let's get a win and a smile -- for Don especially.

I booked a trip in the Fall to come to DC with my family for the UConn game. I am here now and not sure I want to put my family through this tmrw. We have so little time in DC I may let them do their own thing and just attend the game on my own knowing full well that we are going to get blown out.

We have struggled to match up with UCONN, and I think things could get ugly. The game against DePaul was such a tough loss. The players clearly gave their all and fought so hard. We were scrambling for every loose ball. It was tough to see Ewing just say it was a “lack of execution” at the end of the game. That loss was not on the players. I could see them struggling to bring that same intensity again.
I expect UCONN to blow us out. The biggest question in my mind is whether they score 100.

Hoyas 11 point dogs tomorrow/over under 145. Last year AT UConn last game of the regular season we were 9.5 underdogs and lost by about double that

Hoping for the best for Don, but this one could get ugly for sure.

Some useful hoops opportunities tomorrow for fellow locals, which line up nicely after our game (figure this is a good a place as any to post): WCAC semis are now set/3PM at Robinson HS in Fairfax: Paul VI v. Gonzaga, then Bishop McNamara v. Dematha (the top four seeds all advanced). One could see the first game and then drive about 20 minutes to the 5:30 game to see what may well be the area's best team, Sidwell Friends (one loss all year), in the MAC final against St. Andrews, playing at Flint Hill (neutral site). I for one will need a distraction, I fear, after the start of my hoops day at Cap One...

-11 on UConn feels like stealing

Senior Day ceremony - Kaiden Rice and first player named Captain by Coach Ewing Don Carey.
Pretty empty Cap One and a contingent of UConn fans here.
Dikembe in the house. No sign of Jack D on Senior Day.

Not great body language during national anthems and lineups by 3 specific subs.

Nice defensive so far. Lots of energy.

The betting on this game made me think the Hoyas had already covered. After seeing those 2 Sanogo calls they may have.

The thing about fair weather fans is that they miss the little moments. The team looks much improved especially on the defensive end over the 1st 4 minutes. They caused 4 turnovers and out rebounded one of the best rebounding teams in the country. Hopefully they will win the next 4 minutes too.
