Jerome Dyson understands that fans who watched UConn 's 68-59 loss to Duke at Madison Square Garden Friday might have come away with concerns about the Huskies' potential, concerns that there are enough shortcomings to make the road through the season a trying one.

The winningest matchup of Division I coaches was definitely one-sided. Seventh-ranked Duke and Mike Krzyzewski won another NIT Season Tip-Off on Friday with a 68-59 victory over No.

Jerome Dyson and backcourt mate Kemba Walker each scored 20 points, and No. 13 Connecticut routed previously unbeaten LSU 81-55 on Wednesday night in the semifinals of the NIT Season Tip-Off. Gavin Edwards added 15 points and nine rebounds for the Huskies, who advanced to play No.

Mike Krzyzewski played at Madison Square Garden as a cadet at Army in the 1960s.

Freshman forward Jamal Coombs-McDaniel guards Colgate's on Monday night. Against William and Mary, Jamal Coombs-McDaniel played just seven minutes.

The UConn Huskies Men's basketball team will move on to the semi-finals in the NIT Season Tip-Off with a win last night against the Hofstra Pride, 76-67. But even with three wins in a row, this UConn squad is continuing to worry Husky fans.

There are points in a season that lend themselves to big-picture analysis, times that call for a deep breath, a look back and a look ahead.

Jerome Dyson scored 23 points and No. 12 Connecticut rallied for a 76-67 victory over Hofstra on Tuesday night in the second round of the NIT Season Tip-Off. UConn trailed Hofstra 54-45 with 9 minutes remaining but went ahead 59-58 on two free throws by Dyson with 5:20 to go.

Stanley Robinson scored 18 points for No. 13 Connecticut, which used a 16-3 run Monday to take charge and roll past Colgate 77-63 in the NIT Season Tip-Off. Robinson was 8-for-8 from the field.

Jerome Dyson takes a drive to the hoop in UConn's win over William and Mary on Friday.

The NIT Season Tip-Off shows up on the schedule tonight across the country, with one of the many games pitting the 12th-ranked Connecticut Huskies against the Colgate Crusaders at Gampel Pavilion in Storrs.

UConn coach Jim Calhoun didn't like what he saw from his team in its opening victory over William & Mary , but there is some value to sub-par performances this early in the season.

Right to the very last minute when Kemba Walker's attempted cross-over dribble bounced off his leg and went out of bounds, UConn stumbled through its regular-season opener Friday.

Games such as UConn 's season opener tonight against William & Mary are primarily about establishing momentum, fine-tuning weaknesses, getting players acclimated to a new system and stockpiling victories against teams of inferior size and talent.

The Big East Conference retained all of its coaches for the first time in more than a decade.

Jerome Dyson has always been a player of blood, bandages and braces, a shooting guard of reckless abandon.

UConn's 106-67 exhibition victory over AIC was a nice first step toward the season for the Huskies.

Three members of the UConn men's basketball team were held out of an exhibition Wednesday night.

It should be an interesting exhibition opener for the UConn men's basketball team.
