Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun doesn't know if he has a better team than the one he took to the Final Four last season, but he's confident it will be more athletic.

As Jim Calhoun prepares for his 24th season at the helm of the UConn program, he'll have his work cut out for him to maintain the Huskies at their elite level, trying to integrate a host of new faces into the lineup.

Gavin Edwards should take one spot in the paint.

Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun didn't participate in this year's Husky Run, but he sure looked like he could have. An enthusiastic Calhoun watched Wednesday as his players completed a course that runs a little more than three miles (but not exactly 5K) that traditionally marks the end of preseason workouts.
