It doesn't matter to Bob Diaco or his team that the one game they circled on the calendar may have lost some of its appeal. They still need to get this win on the road, no matter what.
For the third straight week, the UConn Huskies (2-3, 0-1 American) come out of the weekend with a loss. Though all three losses have come against top-25 caliber teams, UConn needs to win this weekend for reasons which go beyond the trophy and rivalry game Bob Diaco invented during the summer.
For starters, the Huskies have yet to win a road game in Diaco's tenure.
