I’ve said this in most of the other season-preview articles we’ve posted here, but it bears repeating: this is going to be a weird season. So weird, in fact, that we weren’t even sure of the details of this game until Monday. (In case you’re wondering: 8 p.m., Gampel, FS1.)
Nonetheless, the game will be played, which means we’ll need to preview it, even if the opponent is Central Connecticut. I mean absolutely no disrespect to Donyell Marshall, one of the greatest players in UConn history and someone who is genuinely doing something admirable in lending a name of his stature to improve a small program like the Blue Devils’, when I say that Central Connecticut stinks.
