7:45 PM Tip on Sunday

[UCTitleTown]

So basically getting home at 1:00 or 2:00 am on a work night?

We will have more fans there than Northwestern. But no one but core UConn fans will be rooting for us, and that will be a solid majority against us.

That's going to be every game except the title game if we get there. Everyone roots against Goliath. You see it on this board how we root for the underdogs.

UConn plays the beautiful game. Other fans should appreciate what they are seeing and not hate.

I don't mind the 7:45PM start. I'll show up at 6:30PM and watch a bit of James Madison!

Frees up my Sunday for some solid cycling and then I can close it with a great game at Brooklyn. See ya there folks! We'll make it a party!

Not great news for our fans. Travel would have been much better with an earlier game…if the crowd split yesterday was any indication, we’ll likely be outnumbered by Northwestern fans. Plus every Duke fan will be against us. This is going to be a road game environment lol

Every Duke fan would love if NW coached by their alum won. They will be disappointed. Unfortunately, we may need to wait for Houston to take Duke down.

Duke fans won't stick around for our game. It's a school night - no way mommy and daddy will let them stay out late

Not sure this is the right thread to post this question. Also not even sure it is an appropriate question to ask. I was just walking in the rain in and ducked into a fairly high end hotel to just take some cover. As it turned out it was the hotel JMU is staying at. So the question is, how does one get the information on where UConn might be staying. It’s not like it should be a security issue as you really can’t hide a bunch a guys a foot and a half taller than the average person. I saw their team get on the bus and a few of their players stop to sign autographs for their fans. Would love to get my boys in that same atmosphere as the young fans of James Madison were able to experience.

Even more so than normal because Collins is a Dookie

I said the same thing in another thread. 7:45 makes it way worse. Almost expecting an away team treatment.

wtf with trutv, and why?

Other fans want their team to have a chance and need us to lose.

Man a lot of you guys need a Xanax

Great for our team- lots of rest for our players-time for staff to game plan-love it.

I think UConn is staying at the "New York Marriott at Brooklyn Bridge". There is a sendoff tomorrow at 5:30PM in the front of the hotel as per UConn's Facebook page

Thank you appreciate the information will definitely check it out. That’s fairly close to the hotel we are at.

So some folks from Illinois can fly home Monday but the tip is too late for tri-staters to drive or catch a train? If so, that’s weak.

The beatings will continue until the scheduling improves.

Might as well have played the game in Chicago if that’s the case

I’ll be there. coming in from Jersey City. any brooklyn bar recs?

 

[DCUconnfan]

A bit of a ridiculous question, it anyone know what the actual face value of tickets were in the upper & lower part of the stadium? The issue is they are the combined games but I really dont want to shell out $800 for a lower bowl ticket or even $300 for a nose bleed if they were $125 a piece initially.

 

[Ratso]

I paid $800 for sec 7 row 20. section sold out hopefully not d00k/western fans next to me
