If the wife lets me loose, can we ask for good suggestions where to eat, catch some blues in Memphis for the AAC tourney? Is downtown safe to walk around at night? I honestly have little interest in Memphis (sorry); but, will make the best of it.

I have to say I'm shocked by Cincy's attendance...great history, good team, nice arena...they should be at 10k at least.

That is impressive........there was a day when the UConn fanbase wasn't spoiled either.........the 7K at Maine was an embarrassment o matter when it was!
 
Curious what the attendance will be for the Stanford game. One of the bigger games at the XL Center this year. Anyone know how many tickets have been sold for the game?
 
We do some strange strange scheduling sometimes. Maine at the XL Center was guaranteed to be a no crowd game. Same with Loyola. Play those games on campus. Offer any unsold tickets to students at a couple of bucks a pop and fill the place, plus build the next generation of fans and alumni. We're playing a game in Bridgeport...Eastern Washington? Really? They even have a basketball teams? We couldn't find a better opponent than that to sell to Fairfield County? UConn would probably be better off playing one of the locals there than some barely major. Even play some crapo league game. At least the outcome matters. They must have figured that they can't sell this game to anyone north of New Haven. Let's see if we can pawn it off on Fairfield County.

The game in Bridgeport is almost a sell out.

Eastern Washington beat BU by 12. We beat them by 17. EW might be better than you think. I remember thinking the same thing about them in football until they waxed us at Memorial Stadium.

Bridgeport = Easier access to Fairfield County Alumn who can't/won't drive to Hartford or Storrs and some of whom who are major donors. I would like to see UConn move two 'XL games' that are scheduled over school break to Bridgeport annually. Games at the XL center don't expand UConn's brand and the environment in Storrs is a lot better.
 
I'm prepared to help make the AAC a premier basketball conference, we have the potential. We are NBA-U, we'll build our future no matter where we are

we did once already after the 1st raid, and we would have done it after Pitt & Cuse left. That's probably why the third raid took place when it did

but we'll survive that too, I have no doubt

FWIW, there were more than 7K. And compared to other XL cupcake games over the last few years it was pretty good. The fans in seats were pretty far up into the 200's across the sections, not just in the middle. I think they are getting some positive momentum from the casual ticket buyer.

We get it, you don't like the AAC. Whining about it in every thread you post in isn't going to change our conference affiliation. Might as well suck it up.
