Truthfully, I'd rather play Marquette. But I want the three seed to play at nightWe might not beat Marquette or Hall

Agreed. UCONN travels so well because there is literally nothing to do at home / in state.BET always ends up with some crazy games. However- IMO-- I would be shocked if we don't have to go through PC(semis) and Nova(finals) to win the trophy.. Which we'll do..
Neutral court for them-Home game for us
UConn fans travel so well because they are wealthy and the basketball teams have attracted a passionate fan base, probably due to their histories of success and a lack of competing "home teams" in Connecticut. Nice cliché though.Agreed. UCONN travels so well because there is literally nothing to do at home / in state.
No matter what the road will be tough on and after Thursday. I want the 3 seed. That means we play the latest times on both Thursday and Friday. A crowd full of UConn fans, late night after hours at a bar….it will be a raucous crowd full of UConn fans. Seems more BE tourney like rather than a 2:30 mid afternoon Thursday games where people will be rushing to get in. Then we play 6:30 on Friday, still not the latest game.
Let’s go Hall on Saturday.

I rather the 4 seed so we can play Marquette who we beat twice and Providence who we owe instead of Creighton(Who's our Daddy? LOL!) or Villanova until the finals.Don't care who we play, give me the 3 seed
I love "elation is not a location." Lol.Awesome! Reminds me of Oklahoma is OK!
So cringe. Ah yes- things that other states don't have. A bridge near water, pizza and beer, dancing in a club and graffiti (?). Oh look- it looks like you can do aerobic yoga in CT too! What a game changer.
They should show the (little) items that CT does have to offer that other states may not. A shot of a crazy UConn atmosphere at Gampel would actually have been a nice touch. Show the Pepe's Pizza sign, not just a shot of people eating pizza. Show a train sign that points to Boston one way, New York the other. Things people actually may consider CT for.
Your seriously joking right, Cooley is up for National coach of the year, Hurley is up for biggest clown of the year!!Well he's a much better coach than your coach, but OK.

No I was serious, but your insight made me realize I was being silly.Your seriously joking right, Cooley is up for National coach of the year, Hurley is up for biggest clown of the year!!
The BET interests me. The exact bracket and combination/order of teams that we would have to beat in order to win it does not.You're joking right? One of the most anticipated BET's in years and it doesn't interest you? You do know that winning the BET would help our resume incredibly right?
He's pac troll.Trying to figure out if you're like 14 or 60.
PC, not pacHe's pac troll.
take. There's plenty to do in CT. Lifelong resident here who has never had a problem finding things to. UConn travels well because it is a passionate fan base with more disposable income than most.Agreed. UCONN travels so well because there is literally nothing to do at home / in state.
And is about the only game in town. Nowhere else to place focus they have that advantage. For opposing situation look to SoCal (region not a particular school) and the difficulty keeping fans engaged.take. There's plenty to do in CT.

Spent a good chunk of my life in CT as well. Proud that I talk with no accent! (no MA or NY influence in the way I speak) Point being, all these "things you can do" can be done just about anywhere in the Northeast in particular. Thankfully MA, RI and NY are so close. I don't know anywhere other than Mystic / Westport for a couple days that appeal as a destination. Maybe the casinos, but that draw is winding down for out of staters with options in their own states growing quickly. No question not having competing professional sports, etc. helps the fanbase bigtime. Same deal in Providence. Nobody cared much about BC basketball even prior to the ACC move. Too many competing priorities, schools, pro sports.take. There's plenty to do in CT. Lifelong resident here who has never had a problem finding things to.

Cooley is the BE COY, this didn’t age well for you LOLNo I was serious, but your insight made me realize I was being silly.
Was there ever any question? I assume he will win all the coach of the year awards. And if there was an award for losing to Rhode Island, UMass, Penn, Long Beach State, and College of Charleston in the last 5 years he’d win that one too.Cooley is the BE COY, this didn’t age well for you LOL
