"It will be an exempt tournament, meaning the games come in addition the teams’ regular season schedule."

"UConn, the premiere program in women’s college basketball, has not played in Springfield since the 1979-1980 season, when it suffered an 83-70 loss to Division II Springfield College. That was six years before coach Geno Auriemma took over and led the Huskies to seven national championships."

"The exempt status for early-season tournaments and events is a big draw for teams looking to play as many games as possible in a season."

From the Springfield Republican...

Nice! I'm pretty much equidistant from Hartford, Storrs, and Springfield. Not a dream location for all purposes, but when it comes to UConn BB, it's pretty awesome.

What will ETT think when we go 42-0??

Fantastic news! BTW: 'The Man" who is behind this event is Greg Procino, Director of the Hall of Fame.
He is the same guy who has gone out of his way to bring future Huskies to the high school event at Springfield College over the MLK weekend in January.
Lorin Dixon, Tina Charles, EDD, KML [twice] and Breanna Stewart last January all graced the Blake Arena and gave recruit-lovers in our midst the chance for sneak previews.

Hmmm...wonder if in January 2014 one Courtney Eckmark might be draining treys before a gaggle of Boneyarders?
