For Jim Calhoun this 2011 basketball was just going to be a learning season after being on a decline, last season not even making an appearance at the March Madness Tournament. This year Uconn having acquired five new freshmen, not including walk-ons, they thought they would have another season doing mediocre. Uconn led by the great Kemba Walker is now ranked number nine in the country. They have received two freshmen players from Germany one who did outstanding against Kentucky in the Maui Tournament, Niels Giffey who went 5-of-6 shooting that game scoring fourteen points. A seven foot- one inch center is expected to arrive at Uconn, and ready to play in mid December. He will be a great asset to the team says Calhoun. Now with Uconn ranked on the AP poll number nine a lot is expected out of team, and Calhoun knows that they can do it knocking off the number two team in the country Michigan State.
