Uconn has gotten a wake-up call now that they have played a couple of good teams at home and on the road. The Huskies still haven't won on the road. Thabeet is a great shot blocker but he is a handicap on offense, allowing teams to double team Adrien. Dyson has completely lost his confidence and won't even shoot anymore. Price is in Calhoun's doghouse and the Huskies are in complete disarray. They went scoreless at home for 9:45 against Marquette. They at one point had 18 turnovers and just three assists! Not very Uconn like. Now these young Huskies must try to get better under the bright lights of the Garden, where most haven't played before. Then there is the Wiggins issue. Wiggins had verbally commited to Saint John's then went to Uconn and asked for a scholarship and was given one. You think there is a bit of extra emotion for the Johnies in this one for their coach? Take the points.
