Favorite : In a slight nod, it goes to Connecticut over Pitt. The Huskies have the most intimidating force in Hasheem Thabeet (when he wants to be assertive). And they still have a healing all-conference guard in A.J. Price and plenty of depth at every position. Connecticut also proved its ...

It was arguably one of the most important victories in Coach Dixon’s tenure. Here’s hoping for bigger ones this March. ...
