Have been hearing from people saying they were not able to watch the entire UConn/Pitt game last night. The deal with ESPN's February Frenzy is to provide coverage of multiple games but to remain with the game of interest in the home market. What that means is all of Connecticut (except lower Fairfield County which is seen a part of the New York market) should have stayed with the UConn game. Just out of curiousity, I replayed the game which I taped and ESPN did not return to the UConn game after halftime. That is not supposed to be how it works.

If anybody else dealt with this issue, feel free to e-mail me with your town and cable or satellite provider and I will attempt to get a clarification from ESPN. You can e-mail me at jfuller@nhregister.com.

Changing gears, congratulations to Tiffany Hayes who was named the Big East Freshman of the Week for the second time this season.

Finally, there should be no cause for concern regarding my report that while at the game last night that Laguna Hills (Calif.) junior Lauren Engeln had yet to receive a scholarship offer. The fact that she was encouraged to come out to Connecticut should be a pretty good indication that the UConn staff likes her. Sometimes people can be in a rush in the recruiting process which can occasionally prove to be self-defeating (the names Elena Delle Donne and Kelsey Bone come to mind). UConn has a way of letting those recruits they like know where they stand and if Engeln is somebody the Huskies would like to see play in Storrs, a scholarship offer will be coming her way when the time is appropriate. Expect more to follow on this subject in the coming weeks and months.
