If Kevin Ollie can find a silver lining in Friday nights opening loss to Wagner, its that his young team may well have learned a valuable lesson at the right time.Weve got to step back and go back to the drawing board and figure it out, Ollie said after his No. 18 Huskies were stunned by the visitors from Staten Island -- and the Northeast Conference. This is a dark time right now, but its going to a period after this where we say we got better from it.Another good thing for UConn is getting right back at it, which the Huskies will do when they host Northeastern Monday night.Weve got to get tougher, Ollie said. Our two toughest guys were our two smallest guys out there. Thats (freshmen) C.V. (Christian Vital) and Al (Gilbert). Weve got to get tougher and that starts with me as a coach. Ive got to get these guys ready to play. I take full responsibility and I will do that.Northeastern topped local rival Boston University 87-77 Friday night, with senior guard T.J. Williams scoring a career-high 30 points, dishing out eight assists and grabbing four rebounds -- and graduate senior transfer Alex Murphy scoring 20 points in the opener of his sixth college season.While THOSE Huskies have youth, the experience of the two opening night stars is similar to what Wagner brought to Storrs to snap UConns 27-game Storrs opening game winning streak.We did have a 12-0 run to tie it (in the second half), but they hit a three and every time they needed a bucket they made some big-time plays, said Ollie. Thats what a veteran-laden team does.Northeastern, out of Colonial Conference, was put on the map by Jim Calhoun, who moved from those Huskies to the UConn Huskies and did pretty well there.Northeastern was picked to finish seventh in the Colonial. But Friday night, Williams became the first Northeastern player to score 30 in an opener since the late Reggie Lewis scored 32 at the Great Alaska Shootout -- against No. 2 Louisville -- in a win in 1986.That was Calhouns first year at UConn.We lost a lot of experience over the last two years, Northeastern coach Bill Coen said after Friday nights win.Murphy, who previously attended Duke and Florida, missed all last season because of injury and was granted a sixth year of eligibility by the NCAA -- taking it at Northeastern.Clearly, the level of competition rises for Northeastern Monday night -- especially considering UConn already learned the lesson of perhaps overlooking an unheralded opponent.Transfer Terry Larrier was a bright spot for UConn in his debut, scoring 19 points and grabbing seven rebounds.He played well for us, said Ollie. He was a real bright spot for us. He played very, very well for us, played with a lot of heart and played with pure heart.After Monday nights game, UConn, which likely cost itself a spot in the rankings, heads west. They visit Los Angeles, Ollies hometown, to play Loyola Marymount -- and then across the Pacific to play in the Maui Invitational. They face Oklahoma State in the tourney opener Nov. 21.

The outgoing FA chairman is proposing a series of measures to make the council more modern and representative of the wider football community.Sky Sports News HQ understands councillors are keen to learn more about Dykes proposals and are not scared of change but have to be convinced any alterations will be for the good of the game in the long run. The governance reform has the approval of the FA board, but four of 12 board members voted against and Dyke has acknowledged it is going to be a fight to get through council.Among the proposals is a limit on the numbers of years a council member can serve: one current member has been in situ since the 1960s and Dyke wants a maximum of three three-year terms.The average age of members is mid-60s and of the 123 just six are women and four from black and minority ethnic backgrounds. Former FA Chairman Lord Triesman sympathises with Dyke Councillors maintain they are not simply trying to look after their own positions and it is understood a fair number of them are unimpressed with how Dyke has tried to railroad his way through the process.ddddddddddddheir belief is the scattergun approach he has adopted has upset many and while they feel the professional game looks after itself, they say the game needs their protection at grassroots level.One told us: The number of tickets we receive is not the issue. There are more unpaid volunteers in football than there are paid.Tickets for England and FA Cup games get passed on to the counties and provide a small way of rewarding those at grassroots level who give their time for free.Another added: We dont go about shouting from the rooftops about the hard work we put in. We get called the blazers yet were all putting our heart and soul into the game. Greg Dykes approach to his proposed reforms has upset a number of the FAs 123 councillors Speaking to Sky Sports News HQ, Dyke, who will step down in the summer rather than stand for a further year, said: It will not be that big a day for the FA as no decisions will be made today.Whats happened is that the board has come up with proposals for change, council are now going to discuss them and the board will go back and discuss what the council has said. So this isnt the day it will all be decided.What the board wants to achieve is to change the make-up of the council particularly so that it more accurately reflects society in the second decade of the 21st century.
