A daily look at the best of the local sports scene ...

Not a bad day to get to bed early as Friday will offer some late night action with Yale at Quinnipiac hockey at 8 p.m. on CPTV (the game is sold out) and UConn's men's basketball team playing at Louisville at 9 p.m.

But if you want your sports fix, there's still plenty to do  ...

-- The Quinnipiac men's basketball team travels to Rhode Island to play Bryant, a team that knocked off the Bobcats earlier in the year, and recently upset Central Connecticut in overtime.

Quinnipiac is tied for third in the NEC with Wagner, a game behind Central Connecticut. Quinnipiac plays at Central on Saturday. Long Island leads the NEC with two losses. Both Wagner and Central have games left with Long Island.
