The pregame update teleconference for Wednesday's game at Pitt with Paul Pasqualoni just ended. Short and sweet as usual. No new injuries for UConn. Safety Jerome Junior (ankle) is "fine", and Pasqualoni added TB Martin Hyppolite and LB Jerome Williams are "more ready" and could play this week.

The Big East race is wide open again, thanks to Syracuse knocking off West Virginia. That, coupled with the win over South Florida, should have the Huskies ready to play.

On a local side note, Chris Mike, a former star at West Haven High and a walk-on fullback at Pitt, has "retired" after a severe knee injury suffered during spring practice. He is currently serving as an undergraduate assistant coach, helping with the day-to-day preparation.
