Huskies need win today to stay on the bubble

The UCONN Huskies badly need a win today to remain on the bubble and make a run for an invitation to the "Big Dance." At 4:00 P.M., today they take on the Rutgers Scarlet Knights in an away game that will be televised on SNY. UCONN goes into today's contest at 15-11(5-8 in the Big East) while Rutgers is 14-12 (4-9 in the Big East).
A win today would put the Huskies at 6-8 in the conference and I believe from there they would need to go 3-1 to reach .500 in conference play, which I believe will get them an invitation. Their final four games are against #8 ranked West Virginia and Louisville at home and Notre Dame and South Florida away. It won't be a cakewalk.
McCoombs-Daniels who made two treys against Villanova will miss today's game because of an ankle sprain sustained in practice this week.
