What To Watch
On the rebound:: UConn has been outrebounded in all six of its games. New Hampshire, with its big front line, by America East standards, could pose a challenge on the boards.
Frontcourt scoring: UConn got a little more offense from the frontcourt against Stony Brook, and strives for more balance.
Missing in action: R.J. Evans has been a spark off the bench for UConn, but he is still out with a collar-bone injury. Leon Tolksdorf (knee) will return for this game.
Long history: UConn and New Hampshire have been playing basketball since 1905. New Hampshire won the first 10; UConn has won 90 of the last 105.
XL Excellence: UConn has won its first game at the Civic Center/XL Center each of the last 24 seasons, last losing an opener in Hartford on Dec. 6, 1987, against Virginia.
