Another weekend, another slew of great matchups. While it's impossible to go see every game, here are some can't-miss UConn games for you to follow:
The one you should attend:
Baseball vs. South Florida, Friday 3p.m. at J.O. Chistian Field
The Bulls will return to Storrs for the first time in two years, bringing along a wealth of talent and MLB star Tino Martinez as their head coach.
The last time the two teams faced off the Huskies shut out USF twice in the same day, 3-0 and 2-0 in the Big East Tournament to advance to the final.
After getting swept by West Virginia last weekend, UConn has plenty of catching up to do in conference play.
The one you should watch:
Men's Basketball NCAA Tournament: No. 3 Missouri vs. No. 1 UConn, Saturday 7 p.m., Univ. of Phoenix Stadium, Glendale, Ariz.
Craig Austrie broke out of his slump in a big way Thursday, leading the Huskies with 17 points and hitting 3-of-3 from beyond the three-point arc.
The Huskies will look to advance to the Final Four for the first time since 2004. The only thing standing in their way is last year's NCAA Tournament runner-up, the Missouri Tigers.
The one you should watch:
Women's Basketball NCAA Tournament: No. 4 Cal vs. No. 1 UConn, Sunday 12 p.m., Sovereign Bank Arena, Trenton, N.J.
After winning their first two NCAA Tournament games by a combined 67 points, the Huskies will head to Trenton in search of their fifth straight Elight Eight appearance.
