8:39 a.m. - In his interview with WRBB Radio's Willie Klaynman, Bill Coen said that it's important for his team to start a winning streak before conference play. Coen's style is to play a difficult non-conference schedule to prepare his athletes for the rigors of the Colonial Athletic Association. Well, his team has been challenged this season. Conference play begins in eight days, and the Huskies will play four conference games in a week.
8:14 a.m. - The Huskies are warming up side-by-side with SMU, whose coach is Matt Doherty. The same Matt Doherty that coached Notre Dame and North Carolina. Although the Mustangs are of the same realm as those other two teams, Doherty has this program on the rise. His two star players are Derek Williams and Mouhammad Faye, the latter a transfer from Georgia Tech.
