Well it's back to basketball and it's against the 18th ranked 12-0 Marquette Golden Eagles, 1:00 PM Sunday on SNY at the XL Center.

- If someone believes that they have been missed, or someone notices that another fellow Prognosticator has been by the gamekeeper, then it must be brought to the gamekeeper's attention within 24 hours of the posting of the winner(s) game thread.
- I see a UConn having some problems with the Golden Eagles, but at the end they will wear them down and walk away with a conference win. UConn 89 - Marquette 74
