TAMPA, Fla. - With the score tied at 60, De'Jon Jackson almost beat the Huskies at the end of regulation. But what he failed to do in the game's 40th minute - put an end to UConn's 2008 season - he did with 1.2 seconds remaining in overtime with a step-back jumper over Stanley Robinson. (1) comment
TAMPA, Fla. - With the crowd roaring around him and the bright lights bearing down on him, Jerome Dyson stepped up to the foul line and onto the crossroads of his basketball career. Down two with 10.4 seconds to play in regulation, the Huskies didn't have A. (0) comments
TAMPA, Fla. -- After UConn's loss to San Diego, A.J. Price didn't stick around for too long. Price was forced to leave the St. Pete Times Forum soon after UConn's 70-69 loss to San Diego to undergo an MRI on his left knee, which he hurt during the game. With 9:39 remaining in the first half, Price laid underneath the basket clutching his knee in obvious pain. (2) comments
After the brackets were announced Sunday night, most of the UConn players stood on the Gampel Pavilion court grinning from ear to ear, overwhelmed by the opportunity just bestowed upon them. But A.J. Price wasn't as animated. While other players gleamed over the chance to play on the college game's biggest stage and soaking in some of the warm, Tampa sun, Price stood next to the bleachers fielding questions from reporters, calm and cool-headed as always.

There are many people who think the men's basketball team has a chance to make a run in the NCAA Tournament. They like how the team is put together with a shot-blocking machine controlling the middle. They like the scoring ability of A.J. Price and they like the late-game poise shown by Craig Austrie throughout the season. (0) comments
The NCAA Tournament is underway and I decided to conduct the same experiment I did for last year's tournament - pick the results out of a hat. That's right, it's time to throw 64 little pieces of paper into a hat and see who comes out on top. This didn't work out well last year, as my Final Four was Oregon, Villanova, Michigan State and - this is no joke - Central Connecticut State University. (0) comments
There's been some talk, in some circles, of parity coming to the game of women's basketball. No longer, it is argued, can UConn and Tennessee dominate the national championships, the top recruits and the national attention. I agree. No longer is the race to cut down the nets a two-team fight. (0) comments
Three months ago, Kalana Greene went down with a season-ending ACL injury. A month later, so did Mel Thomas. But for the No. 1 women's basketball team, the injuries gave them a new motivation, something else worth playing for - each other. "I think on days when some of our guys were tired or didn't feel like going, you look over to the side and you see Kalana and Mel doing their rehab just dying wishing they were at practice," said associate head coach Chris Dailey.

The way Geno Auriemma talks about Maya Moore's recent struggles, it's almost as if the UConn coach is complimenting the freshman from Lawerencewille, Ga. "In the last week or so, she's reminded me [that she's a freshman]," Auriemma said. "For a long stretch, she looked like a lost freshman. (0) comments
