Connecticut At Louisville

If there is a must win for the young huskies, it is this one. The tip off is at 7:00 and features two middle of the pack teams fighting for respectability. The huskies must keep forward Terrence Williams under control, he is their leader on the court and they must also watch out for the streaky three point assassin in Jerry Smith.

Uconn needs to do all the things that they did in the Indiana game with the exception of missed free throws, especially the front end of one and ones. They need a signature road win and to tread water in the volatile seas that is the Big East Conference.

Look for big days from Wiggins and Marcus Johnson. They both look primed to turn the corner and we need an Alpha Male in this pack of cubs.

Hopefully the injuries to Dyson and Price won't hurt their maturation. Look to see limited minutes until they are healed though.

This will be a slug fest, in which Uconn should pull out a five point squeaker. Uconn 69 Louisville 64.
