Kirby was very impressive. Looks like we have another solid bullpen arm.

 

[Tmill15]

What a weekend for UConn!!! A 4 game lead in the Big East standings and another weekend sweep against Creighton! Win #40 for UConn!!!

No question Devin Kirby is finally healthy in a UConn uniform. He is another Cal JUCO who is becoming a big item out of the bullpen for the Huskies.

Bullpen issued 0 walks, which seems to be a theme this year.

Hope this team gets some respect and moves up in the poll. I live in the Palo Alto area and attend Stanford games. Was speaking to a huge Stanford fan and he saw my Uconn top on. He made the comment that the Huskies are being disrespected and have a great team. I'm hoping were placed in this region.

Gotta love it. Another late inning weapon from the bullpen. Kirby pounding the strikezone and then lights out in the 9th ! Keep it going and just win baby !

Yeah good stats, nice to see Padilla going again and TC with his two clutch doubles.

 

[dbmill]

UConn won and we just got power back at home, now that is a good combo.

Even thought they continue to win and sweep series's. They have been stuck at #15. That was my point !!!

I have said it before.....it would be a crime if this team doesn't get to host a first round site.

There are many polls, that was my point.

They are also ranked 7, 10, 11, 13th and 18th in other polls.

With our rpi in the 40's going into this week, we can't complain about any place we were actually ranked, as long as we were there somewhere.

Devin Kirby, new weapons indeed.
