Andy Katz: UConn-Richmond Monday

[Kemba429]

Really hope this happens. Itll be the biggest test for our backcourt. Jacob Gilyard couldve been #1 on the all time steals list (by the end of this season), or at least pretty close if the postseason was played last year.

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.

Oh how I enjoyed that day

 

[87Xfer]

Yeah a bit weird how i remembered that. I just remember us being really good and usually beating non power conf teams easily, and this game was a “only” 20. Some scores just stick for various reasons. Some good, some bad. 88-71 loss to bonnies, 88-59 at Kansas when we were in line to be #1.

i'm probably way off, but was that when both our men's and women's programs played the same opposing school on the same day, and the women won handily but the men got smoked? that may have been a totally different thing (I don't think it was TN). but it sucked also.

Nope you are right. That was the day, and Kansas ran us out of gym

 

[businesslawyer]

Way out of your league, sorry.

I know size doesn't matter, but I have a big net worth.

 

[Brochacho]

I know size doesn't matter, but I have a big net worth.

I’m willing to annihilate it

Richmond alum here and UConn fan for life. Go huskies!

Same here! Been wanting to see this matchup for years, glad we got this Spiders team, should be a good test.

 

[Psolo12]

Go to Richmond law right now and a lot of buzz around the school/program. Building a whole new huge locker room right now next to the law school. Hope this game happens so the huskies can run through them

 

[UConn_Top_Dog]

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

Difference between them and us right now is lower ranked teams are lining up to play Nova in hopes of a huge win to beef up their tournament resume.

It feels like you’ve been in law school forever. Tell me you’re a 3L at least.

As for this game, is it now more likely with NC State game canceled? No quick turnaround to worry about now. And we need a game more.

w/ Billy Owens, Mike Hopkins, Adrian Autry - JB the coach that does the least with the most. they did beat us 2x by 2 in '91.

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

This year you find games when you can - high degree of difficulty - stars have to be aligned to pull off a simple game.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

We should be scheduling any game we can get, because we will actually play about 50% of the games we schedule.

 

[Dooooooomed]

Richmond's version of Borges:

 

[bendm]

so where's the BE bubble going to be?

 

[UconnU]

What’re the problems with quarantining the positive, re-testing everyone else, and if all is well, playing? That seems to be the strategy elsewhere.

 

[Samoo]

I'll never forget one "Big Monday" in the early 90's, for some reason, our game at the HCC vs Georgetown was the 9PM game rather than the standard 7PM. The crowd was extra boisterous for that one. It seems all there was to do for that extra time downtown was drink. LOL .... Good times.

I have the exact opposite memory of a big Monday game. 1989, stuck in Salt Lake City before they had real bars, trying to find some place with it on the tube. Ended up drinking 3.2 beer and getting almost no buzz with a bar tender and 3 old dudes as company.

 

[ucawn]

Let’s wear the gray unis on Monday if we have a game

 

[Ajs120102]

so where's the BE bubble going to be?

If there is I hear Mohegan is option 1. More likely would be a pod situation where half league would go to Mohegan and half would go to Omaha

 

[gsmooth]

We should be scheduling any game we can get, because we will actually play about 50% of the games we schedule.

Sadly I think this is true. Unlike any other year, the schedule this year is almost always dynamic and not static.

 

[cohenzone]

This is so nuts. Having not paid attention all day, I turned on Gonzaga vs. Baylor only to see UVA vs. Texas Tech.

 

[ThetaZoo]

Why does everyone speculate on everything and pretend they know what Hurley is thinking and doing?

There is an unusually large number of fans on this board who can read minds.

 

[Ratso]

This is so nuts. Having not paid attention all day, I turned on Gonzaga vs. Baylor only to see UVA vs. Texas Tech.

gross

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

so where's the BE bubble going to be?

Agreed. Get going on this bubble ASAP.

Stick all 20 teams somewhere. Set up remote learning.
Quarantine. Test. Quarantine. Test. Quarantine. For a couple weeks.

Then let's get this show on the road. 20 games for each BE team in 2 months.

Not worth continuing the way it is set up right now.

 

[Jbirdp5]

so where's the BE bubble going to be?

Didn’t the big East already come out and say a bubble wasn’t financially feasible??? Or something similar?

 

[huskiesNhoos]

This is so nuts. Having not paid attention all day, I turned on Gonzaga vs. Baylor only to see UVA vs. Texas Tech.

Sounds like a win to me!

 

[cohenzone]

Sounds like a win to me!

Winning gets redefined by the hour.
