Ayanna Patterson looking forward to first official game - How to watch season opener vs. Northeastern

[Carnac]

Stepping onto the court in a UConn women’s basketball uniform for the first time was a surreal experience for Ayanna Patterson. And the freshman forward impressed in the process. Patterson finished with a double-double in the Huskies’ exhibition game against Kutztown Sunday, earning loud cheers from the XL Center crowd as she made hustle plays, diving on loose balls and soaring in for rebounds. Now Patterson is looking forward to her first official game as a Husky when UConn takes on Northeastern in its season opener 7 p.m. Thursday at Gampel Pavilion.

So a few things-
1. Northeastern was predicted to finish 8th in the Colonial Athletic Association.
2. Their tallest players are 6'3" freshman, 6'2" Soph who played 10 Min a game last year
3. A 6'1" Virginia Junior transfer.
To me, we will have a significant inside advantage to exploit.

Do we have a roll call for the BYers who are attending tonight? I will be there with my wife. Very excited for the start of the season.
