Borges: UConn potentially looking at hosting low-major MTE?

I don’t remember that, but I do know that those were the final three.

He actually has quite the resume and states he’s still with the Raptors Central CT guy and coached at quite a few locals including BC.

That's a brutal first D1 opponent for New Haven lol

[Hey Adrien!]

UML has really turned into a solid America East program under HC Pat Duquette. A main consistency w/ his style is that the team's defense does a nice job preventing three-point attempts and forces ISO play.

They basically have a brand new roster, but here's my preview of the team last offseason: UMass Lowell Season Preview

Columbia returns a bunch of players, but lose their best player Geronimo Rubio De La Rosa. Florida assistant Kevin Hovde is the team's new HC, but under Jim Engles, they were had a beautiful fast-paced offense that shares the ball and shot well, but a god awful defense. Curious how system might change with similar players. I expect Columbia to still be a bottom Ivy team next season. Here's my preview from last offseason: Columbia 2024-25 Season Preview

Should have it with all New England state schools

Does the MTE have a name?
Does that mean we play Columbia on Nov 10?

Not sure if it was mentioned anywhere but U. New Haven gets the honor of playing us this fall in their first season in D1. Welcome!!!

UMass Lowell and Columbia are nowhere near the 300s so this is a huge improvement.

Assuming this is true, this non-con schedule was a masterclass.

Gives us:
11/3 vs New Haven
11/7 vs UML
11/10? vs Columbia
11/15 vs BYU in Boston
11/19 vs Arizona
11/28 vs Illinois at MSG
12/2 @ Kansas
12/9 vs Florida at MSG
12/12 vs Texas

Seemingly 3? more low/mid major games at home to fill in the rest of November/December. Would love to get CCSU or another ivy team on there.

John Toner wasn’t making the decision.

Seriously, did Toner bang your girlfriend or something?

I'll never understand someonecan be so negative against the AD who hired Jim Calhoun, Geno Auriemma, and had us join the original Big East Conference. On top of all of that he was genuinely a nice guy. Honestly, we should be putting a statue of that guy on campus.

We should have someone sponsor this thing.

"PeoplesBank Classic" anyone?
