Rodney Purvis, Kevin Ollie on UConn's road win

Just a couple of videos from Wednesday night's 60-49 win over East Carolina as we try to beat the ice storm back to the hotel.

UConn was sluggish in the first half, particularly on defense. But after getting a short but stern verbal lashing from Kevin Ollie at halftime, then getting Amida Brimah back on the floor after missing 14 1/2 minutes of the first half with foul trouble, the Huskies dominated the final 20 minutes.

Rodney Purvis on the ECU crowd getting on him:



And here's Kevin Ollie (sorta) explaining his rather colorful halftime speech:



Incidentally, UConn bused all the way back up to Raleigh in Wednesday night's ice storm after the game. Normally a 1 1/2-hour trip, it took them about 3 1/2 hours. They boarded their charter, but ultimately thought better of it and wound up checking into a hotel at about 2:45 a.m.

The Huskies took off from Raleigh at about 10:30 a.m. on Thursday and landed at Bradley around noon.

sleddogs have been franchise afterthought since 09 final IV in motor city. that was last yr sledteam spent consistent rankings in topten. slide began after 06 loss in elite VIII to baby george mason. take away II miracles authored by kemba and bazz with supporting casts that were not ranked in regular season and now factor in anticoach leading to no where fast without jimbo playas and grouping of teems masquerading as sports conf and this franchise is finito
