UConn thirsting for revenge

It seems UConn's players remember all too well that beating that Providence put on them back in January at Hartford. PC hit 14 threes in a 77-65 victory.
In stories throughout the Nutmeg State today, the Huskies are `talking trash' and promising to rip the Friars tonight in a rematch at The Dunk.
Guard AJ Price told the Hartford Courant, ``Real disrespectful. They don't know how to win, and it showed. They were laughing, mocking. I usually have a lot of respect for other teams, but they showed a lack of respect last game. They beat up on us and made a mockery of it."
"We'll be ready to go. ... We want to blow them out. That's what we're going there to play for."
And from the New Haven Register...."They were name-calling,” said forward Jeff Adrien said. “It was something to remember. They beat us the last two times we played them, so it’s payback. We’re going out to end that team’s season.”

Sounds like Jim Calhoun is no Bill Belichick. Plenty of bulletin board material for the Friars. A limited number of tickets remain. Tip is at 7 p.m.
