Andy Katz: UConn-Richmond Monday

[gwhuskyfan]

Would be a huge test

 

[Ts5034]

Interesting...Have we ever played Richmond before?

 

[HuskyHoosier]

I believe at least once during the ray Allen years. Score was something like 75-55

 

[Marat]

That will be interesting... They are good

 

[HuskyHawk]

Was this always on the schedule? I confess I can't keep track of this stuff anymore.

I'm barely paying attention to the sports world. Are new games being added weekly/daily? If yes, that's kinda cool.

 

[StllH8L8ner]

My most notable memory of Richmond basketball is when they beat #2 seeded Syracuse as a 15 seed in the '91 NCAA tourney. First time that had ever happened.

nope. Seems like teams are just scheduling games when they can find an opponent. Look at Nova, they just live at Mohegan and play whoever shows up lol

Apparently, Jay Wright has a poker jones that needs to be fed

 

[Drumguy]

Teams are playing this really fluidly and so it's almost like pick up games at the Bubble - It's actually pretty cool idea and an amazing opportunity for those teams that are there! Like a giant basketball camp!

RIchmond is ranked #19 and looked way better than Kentucky.

 

[UConn Esq]

My fiancee is a Spider alum. If UConn were to lose that game, we would have to break up. No questions asked. She probably would even understand.

Headline is deceiving- sounds like it’s not set in stone.

 

[Marat]

Maybe with their Covid week layoff, the timing to play them is beneficial for UConn.

 

[UConn Esq]

Well they cancelled Wednesday and the upcoming game tomorrow because of COVID results/tracing. They are currently paused on all basketball operations so I doubt they can set it in stone under the circumstances.

Exactly. Which is why the title of this thread should change.
“Andy Katz: UConn-Richmond Monday” sounds pretty set in stone to me, which it evidently is not, given what was actually tweeted.

 

[kansashusky]

I coached against Gilyard when he was in high school. Kid is a player. Would be a big test.

 

[crazyUCfan23]

Is anything ever set in stone for this season?

There is absolutely nothing set in stone about this season. Nothing. Except, when a game is Canceled. That's usually set in stone.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Love, love, love this.

Excellent challenge for our defense to matchup against their savvy, veteran offense that is known for its very good shot selection, ball movement and possession security. Grant Golden is a skilled big and the offense moves through him so great opportunity for Whaley to work his defensive magic.

Plus, they have one of the best defensive backcourts in the country. Good opportunity to pound the basket and provide space for Bouknight and our stronger drivers to bucket get.

Very solid non-conference opponent. Good for Hurley and the Huskies.

[RayRay]

What is going on. DH specifically said he was looking for a game Monday???

 

[Marat]

Oh well......

 

[ucawn]

I would actually really like if we could play them. I think we need another game before St. John’s, and let’s face it we shouldn’t need an extraordinary amount of preparation for St John’s (6 days really?)

 

[Brochacho]

I still want to play Rutgers. Syracuse has 5 players out with COVID and is lined up to play Rutgers 12/8. I'd imagine the games doubtful to be played.
