damn, this rules. i thought we weren't eligible to play in the series this year. can't wait to watch!

 

[HuskyHawk]

I really hope we land KU as an opponent soon. Gample or Allen Field House, either one.

 

[Pgh2Storrs]

Love it. Nice easy trip from Pittsburgh for me. Really looking forward to this

Who sits out next year will be an interesting choice.

It's an appealing tournament. Large land grant and private schools vs smaller private schools. Both with rich bb traditions.

Do they create a women's tourney as well?

West of Virginia, east of Ohio and somewhere around Morgantown

Has WVU at 14, UConn at 24. He also has Cuse in the late 20s when they will probably be on the bubble (again). This assumes Miles McBride comes back who was a 15/5 guy at the PG spot. Everyone seems to think he is NBA bound and isn't coming back so it should be a very even matchup.

Let’s goooo!!!

Let’s hope they are a top 10 team when we meet

should always be the projected worst team. sorry depaul, get better. but winning these conference challenges helps with perception.

 

[alexd]

Does WVU still have the bearded "mountaineer" guy running around at the games and firing the musket??

 

[phillionaire]

West Virginia

big if true

Seem kinda like us. Fringe top 25 team from last year that returns basically everyone but their best player, including a key 5th year eligibility guy returning.

They’ll at least have made it to 1953 or 4 by next year I’d assume

 

[Waquoit]

This is a marquee match-up!

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Two tough, physical teams. Love it!!

 

[HuskyHawk]

St. Johns getting a new arena?

 

[Storrs South]

St. Johns getting a new arena?

My guess is it is just for the Islanders new arena opening or at most 1 game a year. Part of their recruiting pitch is playing at MSG so it would be silly to start playing at UBS instead of MSG.

 

[UConn_Top_Dog]

Maybe close enough to road trip over to Morgantown and get a sizable Husky crowd in the building? 9-10 hours drive factoring in stops and traffic. Not too bad...

Uggh!!! St. Johns gets Kansas? Seriously?!!!
