Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 4130980, member: 5798"] For the first time in nearly four years, UConn senior Olivia Nelson-Ododa will play in front of a home crowd of family and close friends when the Huskies [URL='https://www.ctinsider.com/uconn/article/No-3-UConn-at-Georgia-Tech-Time-TV-and-what-16685136.php']travel to Atlanta to play Georgia Tech [/URL]tonight. The Winder, Georgia native will be cheered by her family, including her parents Sebastian Ododa and Heather Nelson-Ododa, along with friends, former teammates and coaches including her high school coach Kimblery Garren.

[/B]There’s little doubt that the bulk of the responsibility now rests with three players in particular: seniors Christyn Williams and Olivia Nelson-Ododa, as well as redshirt senior Evina Westbrook. The Bueckers-less stretch starts Thursday when the Huskies face Georgia Tech in Nelson-Ododa’s homecoming game. The Yellow Jackets are 6-2, their two losses came against Auburn (59-51) and Purdue (53-52), though they did beat No. 20 Georgia (55-54).
