Central Connecticut is our second opponent, on Tuesday, November 14. They are coached by ex-UCONN star (and Chris Mullin's Warriors teammate) Donyell Marshall.
However, it remains to be seen if Marshall will still be around for that game. He, and one of his assistants, were suspended by the school, and an investigation is ongoing. Apparently, the two had a verbal altercation, recently, though the school won't confirm or deny (there has to be more to it then just that, though, because a suspension seems rather hefty for two guys just having words with each other).

Frankly, as long as it's happening to our opponents and not us, something like this is probably needed to build up some hype for what would otherwise be a dead November game.
