Welcome to semi-Big Monday. The game starts at 8:30. It’s an ESPN2 affair as there is still Monday Night Football. There’s also the chance of a delay because of the bowl game airing ahead of it.
This game is obviously a lot bigger than ESPN and the Big East thought it would be. Mainly on the UConn side this year. Middle of the pack to lower half of the Big East was the UConn expectations — like Pitt from last year. Instead, #4 national ranking. Perhaps a tad overinflated, but reasonably earned to this point.
