Paw Prints – The Daily Roundup – 3/7

DeJuan Blair flips Connecticut center Hasheem Thabeet over his back as they fight for a rebound in the first half Feb. 16 in Hartford, Conn. Thabeet was called for a foul on the play and was held to five points and four rebounds in the game. Blair could not be stopped, scoring 22 and grabbing 23 rebounds - Fred Beckham/Associated Press

It’s game day for the No. 1 UConn Huskies men’s basketball team as they are in Pittsburgh to take on the Panthers. The game will help decide who wins the regular season Big East title. A UConn win and they will win the Big East. A loss and they drop to the No. 3 seed in the Big East Tournament.

It’s a nationally televised game as CBS has the broadcast and it will start at high noon. We can expect another battle down low between Hasheem Thabeet and DeJuan Blair.
