There is no Indiana player on UConn's team. So, there is hope. MSG is like homecourt for UConn. Ugh. McDonald's AA Frosh Castle, most likely is out due to injury. Seems like a strained ligament. Starter averaging 14ppg. Newton can create shots. Who will defend him? Karaban and Spencer may also do some moves...but not like Castle. This was posted on The Boneyard, UConn fan forum. It is an opinion on replacements for Castle. Diarra - Too erratic and makes too many mistakes plus a terrible shooter. Can play hardcore man defense and good vocal leader. Ball - Can shoot but hasn't shot good yet. Right now needs to slow down as he is playing too fast. Can't have bad shots and bad turnovers. Just be solid on D and make open shots. Ross and Stewart - Both have looked lost out there, yes I know their freshman as well as Ball, but they run to the corner and hide on O. Need a few threes from Ross a game off the bench. This might be good enough to beat Indiana & Texas if Donovan (Clingan 7'2"), Cam (Spencer 6'4"), Alex (Karaban 6'8"), and Tristen (Newton 6'5"), come to play but Kansas and NC And UConn's coach is concerned about the bench scoring. link is to UConn roster: 2023-24 Men's Basketball Roster - University of Connecticut Athletics (uconnhuskies.com)

UConn 78 Indiana 75 Not one player on UConn's team is from Indiana. So, there is a decent chance of an IU win.

The Hoosiers (13-4-4) will play at No. 10 seed Wake Forest (11-2-5) in the round of 32 on Sunday at 5 p.m. ET. ESPN+.

Indiana by 10. w4 minutes to go. A little defense and sharing the ball...

My IU gf and I enjoyed 'The Bird' (the Bluebird) oh so very much. Her apartment was on Washington Ave one block from the Bird. Remembering fondly Luther Allison (Chicago electric blues), and...
