UConn Secret Scrimmage

[auror]

Any idea on when they're happening?

"The Huskies will travel to Virginia for a closed-door scrimmage with the Cavaliers on Saturday. A week later, UConn will host Harvard in a second "secret scrimmage" that is closed off to the media and general public."

It's tough for fans to process that the score doesn't matter. They are trying stuff. We are trying stuff. We are doing things we might not do in games. They are doing things they might not do in games. How many points Samson scores is meaningless but we all want the box score.

Yup. Its like a sparring session between a couple of fighters with no egos just simply trying to work on some things.

Maybe Cooper can make the jaunt from Durham to CVille when he gets bored.

Anyone have the secret score?

I do but I was sworn to secrecy.

I'm hoping the Virginia in the gym hangers on are more forthcoming with details than the other way around. Last year when we played them up here we didn't even hear a score until the next day.

Wasn’t it supposed to be today

Yes

Someone of the Virginia board said "heard it was close". That's all I've seen.

If they’re just reporting it was close I’m assuming we won. Regardless that’s pretty good without Clingan

We lost to them last year.

Yeah the Hurley regime keeps everything in house . In this day and age I kinda like it.

Okay? My only point is a close loss without Clingan is pretty good

No it’s not. UVA isn’t that good, and if you read between the lines on what Hurleys been saying they’re taking it slow with Donovan.

Clingan is our best player. And an all American candidate. It’s pretty good

We are getting these posts about a hypothetical score in a scrimmage. Only at the Boneyard

We don't even have a hypothetical score lol.

UVA is still picked like between 2-4 in the ACC. #33 in my consensus model (30th humans, 32 computers). They're not bad.

If we can't beat VA in a secret scrimmage, we have to be asking if Hurley is the right guy for the job.

Agree. But maybe on the bright side, if it was close and we won…does that mean Hurley can win close games now?

Good guys won by 5 with both teams scoring in the 70s. Castle most impressive with 19 points and 6 assists and Samson more than held his own as a starting center from what I’ve heard

Right now we’d be favored by 3 over UVA if we played at their place and 6 at home, with Clingan.

Good result.

Well sure, but if it was 'close' that's an added factor to consider. I mean we'd probably have killed them if it wasn't close...

They must have changed the definition of "secret" since I was in college.

Road win without our best player is a nice way to kick off the season.
