As tends to be the case these days, news of Lubbock Christian facing UConn in an exhibition game was posted on Twitter before official news of the agreement surfaced.
In the last five seasons UConn's preseason opponents have been from New England, the tri-state area or from Pennsylvania so I asked Geno Auriemma after Thursday's practice why Lubbock Christian was the opponent in tomorrow 7 p.m. tilt at the XL Center.
"We have no shortage of people who contact us and want to play so that is how it happen so people contact us and say 'we want to play,'" Auriemma said.
