Pat Gallagher gets the start today, and it will be interesting to see how he does. Gallagher has been trending upward in terms of improved performance. It would certainly be nice to see that continue. Having a reliable Gallagher in the starting rotation is a big step in a potential Husky run in the Big East tournament, and for that matter in the NCAA Tournament should UConn get into it. Having three basically reliable starting pitchers is whole lot better than just having two once these post season tournaments start. For that matter, in the post game interview yesterday, Coach Penders was sounding pretty positive about Gallagher's improvement over the the course of the season.
