So now all 3 of Huskies' next opponents will have at least 1 loss.

[David Borges @DaveBorges]

UConn's toughest three-game stretch of an historically tough non-conference schedule looms over next two weeks.

Will Huskies be at full strength?

That was a worse foul call than Laimbeer on Kareem in ‘88.

@joemikebud lol

Folks, I'll simply say this: There is no news to report on Nik Khamenia right now. Per UConn, there probably won't be anything announced today (though that's been subject to change in the past).

UConn is extremely tight-lipped about injuries (i.e., Mullins' "undisclosed"), and it's uncertain we'll even get full extent of Khamenia's injury when it's announced.

In the meantime, I can't make up news and won't speculate just to put something out there. Be patient. We should know something over the next 24 hours or so.

[David Borges @DaveBorges]

@CLT_Husky @_samcalhoun Just letting you know the backdrop. And yes, there are other ways to find info. But that's a lot tougher in this specific situation.

@BrucePascoe broke it first

"We know that Nik's going to do everything he can do to get back on the court, because he loves basketball. That's the type of person he is. But, whatever the situation is, we're going to hold it down for him." — Jayden Ross https://t.co/oEgupGqsGC

Tough night of shooting means extra shots up at 10:30 pm.

[David Borges @DaveBorges]

Hurley: "Having a sixth starter in Colben, depending on what Nik's situation ends up being, our margin for error would be thinner. But it's not like we've got scrubs."

On Nik Khamenia

[David Borges @DaveBorges]

A Pyrrhic victory for UConn? https://t.co/oEgupGqsGC

[David Borges @DaveBorges]

Final: UConn 83, Wagner 41

We'll try to get an update on Khamenia in postgame.

[David Borges @DaveBorges]

This team is still absurdly talented. And deep. That depth could become very relevant in coming days.

[David Borges @DaveBorges]

Colben Landrew starts second half along with Hines, Demary Ross and Mullins.

[David Borges @DaveBorges]

At the half, UConn 44, Wagner 18.

Khamenia has remained in the locker room since his injury.

[David Borges @DaveBorges]

Nik Khamenia will NOT return to tonight's game.

[David Borges @DaveBorges]

Nik Khamenia with a slight limp, heads to locker room.
