Not so, WFAN was carrying the Westwood One crew.  WFAN has dropped coverage of individual college teams (too much NFL, NBA, and MLB to broadcast), they had done Rutgers and St. John's in the past.  A few years ago, UConn flagship switched from flamethrower WTIC 1080 am Hartford with a handful of statewide affiliates to WUCS (ESPN) 97.9 FM Hartford with affiliates.

UConn is not really considered local in NYC market, it's a good 2.5-3 hour drive from Storrs to NYC.  Though, playing at MSG is almost like a home game for UConn because it is an easy train trip from New Haven and southwestern Connecticut for students and alumni. For a long stretch of time St. John's would not schedule UConn at MSG because UConn fans would take over the building.  WFAN will give passing acknowledgement to UConn football/basketball when playing well as Fairfield County is in their radio market under an hour from the City.

BTW, UConn has the best "Big" game in college, when they hit their 3's, no one can stay with them.  They did get up to #2, smacked Alabama on a neutral court, which followed 3.5 weeks of looking lost to start the New Year.  They turned it around at the right time.  This team reminds me a lot of the 2004 National Championship team which had 5 future NBA-ers/great "Big" game, this year's team should also have 5 eventually drafted.  They might not win tourney but they are pretty solid with a great coach.

Best wishes for DX'ing and for my Mariners to actually make it to the post-season for TWO years in a row!

I've got them winning the AL West only to fall to the Jays in the ALCS.  Still don't understand how they didn't make Series in 2001.
