UConn vs Indiana preview

[HuskyNan]

Lots of respect given but it seems the writer hasn’t actually seen UConn play

2023-24 Non-conference opponent preview: UConn

The Huskies and the Hoosiers, if they face off, will meet for the first time since 2019, when the Hoosiers took down the Huskies in the Jimmy V Classic at Madison Square Garden.

Commenters are saying Newton suffered an injury. I haven't found anything on that, hopefully it's some Hoosier fan troll job.

He threw out a first pitch at a Red Sox game recently and you definitely would have heard something by now with them running an open practice event this Saturday

I believe they are talking about Jakai Newton, freshman for Indiana. Friend of the Castles.

A bad place for that comment then as they didn’t even mention him in the article at all

he suffered an injury in the High School season but I don’t know if it’s the same one

This guys a brilliant reporter. I didn't even know Andrea Hawkins played for us last year. Darn it now I feel like I missed something important.

A couple fun comments on the article:

I'm not going to lie, I am a little envious of UCONN. 5 national championships since 1999. The more incredible part to me is that was done with 3 different head coaches.

To which someone replied:

I made a comment a while back that you can't make a list of "Blue Bloods" that includes IU but not UCONN, and it was poorly received. I think it was before their 5th championship, which tied them with IU, but I still stand by it. You should be envious. UCONN (along with Duke and UNC) have been pretty dominant since IU's last championship 36 years ago.

I liked this sentence.

UConn will, as always, be a tough team to take down this season — no matter who the opponent is.
