Game time: 7:00 pm - XL Center
TV: None - The game will be streamed for free on uconnhuskies.com. [LINK]
Radio: 97-9 ESPN - Hartford (Bob Joyce & Debbie Fisk)
No. 5 UConn will play Trevecca Nazarene Wednesday night in their final tune-up exhibition game before beginning the regular season on Sunday against Cal-Berkeley. Trevecca Nazarene, a small religious university in Nashville Tennessee, is a Division II NCAA school in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference. Trevecca finished 12-17 (11/11) last year. Trevecca opened their season this past Saturday with a 79-33 home win over NAIA Blue Mountain (Mississippi).
Much like the 103-40 rout of Jefferson University last Sunday, nobody is anticipating that this game will be very competitive. It will be a great experience for Trevecca Nazarene’s players to play in front of large crowd against some of the best competition in the world. Trevecca is not a tall team. They only have a freshman and a sophomore that stand 6'0"+.
As for UConn, this is more of an opportunity for Geno Auriemma to play around with different lineups and to get his players acclimated to playing unfamiliar competition in front of a crowd. The Huskies were picked No. 5 in the preseason AP Poll and No. 4 in the preseason USA Today/Coaches Poll.
