With the preseason coming to an end with tonight's game against Team SRP, I figured what better time to do a little tidying up.

First, tickets are still available for Sunday's season opener against Georgia Tech where the No. 1 ranked Huskies not only take the first steps to what they hope is a sixth national program but the 1994-95 squad, which started all of this by winning UConn's first national title, will be inducted into the "Hall of Honor." It should be a special day all around. Game time is 2 p.m.

Also at Gampel Pavilion on Sunday, UConn's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee will be holding a food drive.

Fans can bring non-perishable food items to those games to benefit the Covenant Soup Kitchen in Willimantic.

National signing day is underway. Kelly Faris, a 5-foot-11 wing from Plainfield, Ind. is the only player who will sign with the Huskies. As hard as it may to be believe since Connecticut has yet to crown its state championships in any fall sports except cross country, Faris and her Indianapolis-based Heritage Christian team opened its season with a 77-62 win over Northwest High School Tuesday night.

Before I leave you, time for a little scouting info. Georgia Tech defeated the Peach State Elite 87-70 in an exhibition game Sunday behind 20 points, five rebounds and seven assists.
