I know the school said that when they redesigned their logo they took great pains to...

Tonight’s Game Will Be The Biggest Of The Season For UConn

The Connecticut Huskies don’t have a whole lot to play for this season. Other than a few guys being able to showcase their talent and impress NBA scouts, the 2012-13 season is pretty meaningless for UConn.
