Gameday - Creighton @ UConn - 1:00 pm ET SNY

[Carnac]

UConn’s three-week layoff between games didn’t do most people any favors. But if there was a silver lining, it allowed sophomore Nika Mühl to get healthy enough to return to the court after missing most of December with a nagging foot issue. With four game cancellations after the holidays, Mühl only ended up missing three games in all, although she’ll be limited to 15 minutes of action Sunday versus Creighton (10-3, 5-0 Big East).

Thanks very much, Carnac. It was a relief to see your much appreciated handiwork here rather than another postponement message.

If I were offering 'three things I most want to see today,' number one would be seven Huskies warming up for the game, and number two would be the opening tip. Anything after that will be gravy.

Go, Huskies!

1. No more injuries.
2. See above.
3. Let's play with intensity.

Looks like Amari is suiting up as a precaution, or emergency, in case we run out of players via fouls, or God forbid, injuries. I hope 15 minutes is enough to give the other players the time they need to rest. Still Nika, however she plays today, will give us the lift that we need. Remember, she will be rusty, so hopefully she will not be forced to do more than Geno needs her to do today. Thrilled to have her back.

1) Evina having at least 15 points and 6 assists with Nika able to spell her

2) A new beginning with plenty of energy and quickness

3) Our bigs receiving the ball underneath and pounding it

Did I miss something? In all the discussion about who is able to play there is no mention of Plath Gabrielle?

It was never on the Fox sports app... I then downloaded the foxnow app and the game was on that, but it was almost half time... Waiting for the replay to be posted so we can see the first half.. its almost 4:30 and it hasn't posted yet...
Not happy about this after waiting 21 days for a game..

From now on, I will check the listings for the “Fox Sports and Fox Now” apps when I post my Gameday threads. There is a difference between the two apps. Different programing on the two apps. I usually just pass along the information that’s posted in the Hartford Courant.

It was there prior to 1 pm, then for some reason, it wasn't showing in the "Live" section, so I went back to the menu and managed to find it.

Go to the Schedule link when the game disappears from the main menu.

It was if the app was accessed on a Roku. The device has to be able to access a cable provider.

I did not check the schedule, just the live selections. I have watched 25 games this way the past 2 years.. today was different. I has always been in the live selection, as it was when I switched to fox now app. The quality is much better than on Youtube , including the replay
