About Senior Day, from the Game Notes:

UConn will honor eight seniors on Sunday morning, Dominic Freeberger, Luke Broadhurst, Paul Tammaro, Chris Brown, Ryan Hyde, Garrett Coe, Ben Huber and David Smith. Justin Willis and Devin Kirby were honored last year and will play their final regular season games in Storrs this weekend.

Well, this answers the question that came up not too long ago about whether or not Chris Brown was still on the team.

Double dip tomorrow. Women's softball at noon versus a very good Seton Hall team. Women trying to climb that NCAA mountain and they need fans' support. Game on FS2 if you can't get out there. Then over to Ted's for a late lunch with a possible libation(s). Nightcap baseball at 6:05 pm. Let's get 2 wins.
