When was the last time the Huskies played in the middle of the day on MLK Day? I remember 2011 at Gampel against Villanova when Kemba hit the winner with a couple seconds left.

I think that must have been it. Great game.

 

[UconnU]

Anyone else watching the St John’s game right now? Champagnie looks incredible. He just went on a 12-0 run by himself. He’s probably the second best player in conference and a first rounder. From Brooklyn, same age as Bouk, those city teams growing up in BK must have been insane.

That's the one.

Glad I got the day off for the first time ever.

Fox just put up a graphic saying the game is at 2pm on FOX, not 2:30. I have the tv paused on the graphic so it is no mistake. Keep an eye out for the truth

I suspect we are going to win or lose on Monday based upon our live ball turnovers and I truly have no idea if Cole and Gaffney are good enough ball handlers to keep that number low enough to win. My fear is that they're not. Can't inbound to positions in the backcourt where the double team can trap. Have to press the advantage and convert when we do get by their press and they are trailing the ball. Can't give them shots at steals then pull the ball out when we pass half court, and also play against their half court defense. The more possessions they have to play against our half court defense, the more I like our chances. Our shooting will determine how many steals we can give up to their press. Their shooting will determine if we can run before a press is set up.

I was young but in '89 I went to the Cuse game that I believe was on MLK night. I remember having the day off from school and being exhausted the next day. Took down Coleman, General Sherman and others 68-62 when they along with Georgetown were considered the Big East powerhouses.

Well this is lousy news for those (many) of us that have to work that day.

You look like you might be coming down with something. Should probably call out to be safe. It’s the responsible thing to do.

Work remotely and take a 2 hour lunch starting at 2 since they have ways to check who is online and viewing what.

 

[UconnU]

Let’s pray for Bill Raftery on the call.

 

[HungryHuskies]

It looks like Posh Alexander plays tight up in your face defense, RJ may have some issues

I'm willing to bet "coverage begins" @ 2:00pm.

 

[UCSouth]

Thanks for the update, changed the DVR.

Correct, 2 PM is the tip off show and game is at 2:30

Last year at this time we played Tulane on ESPNU. Now we have pregame Fox coverage.

I’m taking a half day, though I am absolutely buried at work. There just hasn’t been enough basketball this year for me to walk away from it.

Yes. Remember the big knock against going to the Big East was there games would be played on FS1 or FS2? That was still better than playing on ESPN plus. Getting games on Fox it’s great exposure for us, especially since it’s a Saint John’s game and then we’ll talk about how Madison Square Garden is essentially a home game for us.

Word on the street is Gus Johnson and Donny are on the call. This is probably the first UConn game Gus Johnson has called in over 10 years.

One could watch this game with an antenna.

 

[Rico444]

According to the Fox website, the game is being filmed in 4k. So hopefully it'll be shown in 4k on the Fox Sports app

Fox 61 not on Comcast?

I was fortune enough to be scheduled the 5AM-2PM European time shift at work, without asking. 😁

 

[UconnU]

Makes sense that Fox would feature this game. This is the first real regional conference rivalry game we’ve played since joining. Major sports event for the NY metro.

Not to be a Debby Downer, but also tomorrow is a very weak slate of basketball games. It's the 3rd best game of the day according to ESPN Match Quality and the first two games are under ESPN control tomorrow night. Every game after UConn-SJU are a bunch of mid majors so not a lot of options to pick from after the Notre Dame-Howard game got the PPD for this slot. Still, I'll take the gift.

What’s the trick to watching a network game (FOX, CBS, NBC, etc.) from Europe? Asking for a friend 😉
