Georgetown ticket update

Tickets are going fast for the Feb. 27 game against Georgetown at the XL Center. UConn officials announced earlier today that fewer than 1,000 seats are left for the Feb. 27 game.

Before the game seniors Tina Charles, Kalana Greene, Kaili McLaren, Meghan Gardler and Jacquie Fernandes will be honored as it will be their last home game. After the game the Huskies should be celebrating the Big East regular season title unless the Huskies slip up between now and then.

There are plenty of tickets remaining for Saturday's game against Providence, also at the XL Center.

The date when the Reality TV UConn women's basketball style will be introduced has been pushed back from tomorrow to Feb. 26. That's the date when results of the first batch of videos shot by Fernandes and McLaren will be aired on ESPNU. The times have not changed as the episodes are set to air at 3:30 p.m. and 11:30 p.m.

Now for a few other notes, UConn incoming freshman Samarie Walker had 10 points as her Chaminade Julienne of Dayton, Ohio team opened with a 73-25 win over Stivers in the Ohio Division II Springboro Regional. Chaminade Julienne plays Monroe on Saturday. I find the Ohio playoff system a bit bizarre as Chaminade Julienne is the No. 2 seed but has to play a game before meeting the No. 10 seed.

There's a nice piece on the relationship between Bonnie Samuelson, who has been offered a scholarship by UConn, and her younger sister Karlie, who accompanied Bonnie on her unofficial visit to UConn earlier this season, by the Huntington Beach (Calif.) Independent.

In the time to give credit where credit is due, former UConn commit Elena Delle Donne had the top single-game scoring performance in Division I women's basketball this season when she dropped 54 on James Madison Thursday night. Perhaps most impressive is that Delle Donne scored 54 points on 28 shots and was 7 for 8 from 3-point range. However, Delaware lost 88-83 in overtime to James Madison as Delle Donne's teammates were just 11 of 26 from the floor with 17 turnovers. James Madison's Dawn Evans had 38 points despite missing 20 of her 29 shots. Brittany Carter of Memphis had the previous high with 49 points in a 98-83 win over Sacramento State on Nov. 27, 2009.
