What To Watch For
CALHOUN'S STATUS: Jim Calhoun will miss his fourth game since taking a medical leave to address his spinal condition. The Huskies are again in the experienced hands of George Blaney.
MORAL MOMENTUM? The Huskies played much better at Syracuse, but still lost by a lot. Can they convert those positives into a win?
INJURY BUG: Drummond (ankle), Lamb (toe) and Roscoe Smith (Achilles') are dealing with injuries. Drummond and Lamb are probable; Smith, who did not practice Tuesday, is questionable.
