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

Set the DVR for the UConn women's basketball team's opener against Georgetown at 2 p.m. in the Big East tournament if you're not going to make the trip to Hartford or if you do not get ESPNU and head to Hamden for some live basketball.

-- The Quinnipiac men play host to Robert Morris in a Northeast Conference men's basketball semifinal at 2 p.m. at the TD Bank Sports Center. The game is on Fox College Sports (a good bet if you don't have ESPNU  you're also not going to have FCS). The atmosphere should be exceptional.

A win by Quinnipiac and an upset by Central Connecticut over top-seeded Long Island, could lead to a Connecticut final Wednesday. We can only hope. Those regular-season games are close to sellouts. Imagine with an NCAA berth on the line.

The Webster Bank Arena in Bridgeport continues hosting the MAAC tournament, and the top-seeded Fairfield men's basketball team plays at 2 p.m. against Saint Peter's in a game that can also be seen on MSG. This is the semifinals of the tournament.
