You know what? We shouldn’t argue. We root for the same team. apologies.

I not arguing, I’m just stating what I saw. They just need to practice and stick with their strengths

NO excuse for poor fan attendance next Saturday vs Lowell. There is no men’s basketball game, women’s basketball game or home football game to compete with. Students…….show up; pep band……show up; alumni…show up.

If we can draw 4,073 for an afternoon game opposite a home football bowl-eligible contest vs top-20 Liberty, we should approach 5,000 to remain atop the HE standings.

They never show when class is in session, but this actually may result in more of them coming. They're home and can borrow mom and dads car for a quick run into Hartford. Unfortunately, I will be out of town. My second miss of the year.

I was at the game last night.. when PC scored the noise was unbelievable. Just under 3000 in attendance. About 100 + Husky fans. What a brawl. Round 2 this afternoon. Imagine the sound in our new place in January. I’m just afraid of getting screwed out of my season tickets because I’m not enough of a high roller

Me too!

Sure - love Bradley's style, but the zebras keep their eyes on him and the call thirty seconds into the game was marginal and imo based in part reputation. But, there's definitely a different vibe with this team. They didn't quit and in the end I was thrilled that the dogged determination helped pick up Sergeev and the whole crowd. Their "no quit" effort and attitude picked up the whole damn building!

Hopefully I don't sound like a homer, but am I the only one who feels UConn gets penalized more often the other teams and more ticky tack calls against them. Not debating the major, but earlier in the second what to me looked like a boarding wasn't called then Pearson gets a major for the same thing.

I know I’m late on this but I will never not go to a PC UConn game again. Last year was an unbelievable physical MMA fight this year was the year of the never say die huskies. Insane game, decent sized crowd just wished more people knew how unbelievably entertaining these Hockey East games are on a game by game basis…

No shame in being a "homer". A solid, hard working, no quit team brings that out in the best of us. BTW, The Friars take mandatory acting classes and they sell outrage to the likes of Zebra Potvin... That said, Pearson's hit was, at the least, provocative and didn't really accomplish much. But, he gets a pass because overall he is a great addition to the team in so many respects. Importantly, I don't think Cav will have to spend much time explaining this to him.
