Ladies and gentlemen, about 24 hours from now the regular season will conclude against UConn. If the Cats take this game, it would help re-establish some momentum going into the conference tourney next week. A loss would not be a deal killer in terms of conference or NCAA tourney seeding but certainly the team's focus and game execution away from the Shoe would surface again. Hate that the game starts at 12 noon but that's what my DVR is for. Here is the tale of the tape:
