Tonight
USF at No. 4 UConn
When/where: 6; XL Center, Hartford, Conn.
TV/radio: ESPNU; 1250-AM
Records: USF 6-8, 0-1 Big East; UConn 10-1, 0-1
Notable: All of USF's losses have been by nine points or fewer, though it will do well to keep that streak going. … Connecticut has been the surprise of the Big East, picked to finish 10th in the coaches' preseason poll. Junior G Kemba Walker has been explosive, averaging 26.9 points, which is more than USF's top two scorers (F Augustus Gilchrist and G Jawanza Poland) combined. … The Bulls have gotten strong play from junior G Hugh Robertson, who averaged just six points in USF's first nine games but has averaged 13 in the past five. … A key battle will be in the post, where UConn's Alex Oriakhi (11 points and 9.1 rebounds per game) goes up against Jarrid Famous, Ron Anderson and Gilchrist.
