UConn men at Paradise Jam on TV now.

[Kibitzer]

UConn leads Wake Forest 36-32 at halftime.

Nice halftime coverage of welcoming party for teams, including reggae music, steel drums, dancers, etc. Jim Calhoun being interviewed now.

That small gym brings back fond memories. Strange to see three 3-point lines, black, blue and yellow. And those unforgettable fold-down bleacher seats.

Go to CBS Sports for a preview if you are going next week.

UCONN 77-71. Decent win.

A solid win by UCONN. Don't think Wake is ever going to light the ACC on fire, but it's a game UCONN gutted out. The best thing to come out of that game was their 6'10" 5 from Germany played well scoring 12 points and grabbing 9 boards. The post play on the men's team is the opposite of a strength... at least that was the thought at the start of the season...

Thanks for the score, I missed the game.

Isn't Wolf 7-1? I thought he played a terrific game.

I really like Ollie's substitutions for the most part so far. Players don't get the hook if they make a mistake and if someone, like Giffey, is playing well, he doesn't get yanked to never be seen again. I know JC is revered on the men's board, but sometimes his substitutions made me scratch my head.

They referred to him as a seven footer during the game. (And I see he is listed at 7' 1" on the roster)

They desperately need height and strong inside play...I just hope Wolf's performance was not a onetime thing.
They have been outrebounded by Michigan State [understandable]....Wake [not awful]....Vermont [yikes!]
Great start...get out of the Caribbean at 5-0?

Big challenge coming up....at North Carolina State in early December.....ranked #6 or so.
