I got that one wrong. Arkansas State is legit. I remember watching that game against Memphis-they beat the brakes off them and had them demoralized in that game. I just thought Alabama, at home, still shouldn't have had as much trouble defeating them.
OT: CCSU In NEC Tourney
- Thread starter gwhuskyfan
- Start date
Let’s go hard hittin’. I don’t think they’ve been in tourney since the Rick Mickens Corsley Edwards Howie Dickenman days- I remember they played Pittsburgh one year in the first round and then they played Iowa st in the 2-15 game another year. Hung with them. Jamal Tinsley and Marcus fixer squad.

Almost. We were back in 2007 with a team that was led by Javier Mojica, Tristan Blackwood, and Obie Ndwadike. Played Ohio State with Greg Oden and Mike Conley. Mojica is still playing professionally.
CCSU is no where near a powerhouse in basketball and below mid major, but you are a dedicated fan of them that knows so much about them-I dig it.
Let's raise a glass and a toast to the Connecticut teams this weekend for prosperity.

Speaking of CCSU and UConn, looks like Donyell is now the head coach of The Suffolk County Stingrays of the ABA.

I remember watching the game although I confused them with Oklahoma State .in 2000 My memory isn’t is sharp as it used to to be so I looked it up .They also didn’t get humiliated by Pitt and Ohio State after that
2002,2007
The 2002 team had 27 wins .

If any of you from the Boneyard Crew are looking to get tickets for the NEC Finals at Detrick Gymnasium, they go on sale online at 9:00 PM tonight. Judging by '02 and '07, they'll sell out in 20-30 minutes. So be quick!

My heart is still recovering haha. Wild game! Blew a 21 point lead, shot at end of regulation to win went halfway down then out, but they hung on in OT. The atmosphere was awesome today and it’s going to be crazy on Tuesday night!

I would think something will be posted soon here: Central Connecticut State University Athletics
Hmmm... I only travel from Boston for UConn games, but I might consider this game

Chairback and reserved seats for the championship game will be $20. General admission tickets are $15.00 and GA youth/senior tickets will be $10. CCSU student ticket distribution of 500 tickets will take place on Tuesday morning at 10:00 am.
$10-$20 is a steal for a D1 championship game.
I’m surprised only 500 tickets for students. But I think the gym only seats 2500. They should expand the press box into second story seating. Maybe that can add a few hundred seats. Wishful thinking… or just play it at the XL center.

Had a great time at Detrick today. Went to this same game last year and they lost to Wagner. Good to see a W this time.
Late but I was still able to get 2 GA for Tuesday.

I went to the championship game in 2002, sat in the student section. Stormed the court they beat Quinnipiac, great memory.

As any Central fan will tell you, we don't want to play at the XL Center. There's something magical about playing a championship game at Detrick Gymnasium. Btw, in 2002, CCSU oversold the tickets by almost 1000! In 2007, they oversold by 600. So, yeah, the gym only holds 2500, but that's not stopping us from packing in over 3000 crazy fans. (And we're not inviting the fire marshal.)
Having said all that, would we LOVE a new arena? Yessir! Would we settle for a major facelift--adding some permanent seating...bringing the seating closer to the court...adding a concourse halfway up....??? Yeah, I think we could live with that.
The problem is--and I know this won't be a popular sentiment on the Boneyard--we're operating on a bare bones budget while UConn has a tremendous amount of resources from private donors and the State. The State of Connecticut funds CCSU as if it's a D3 school. Makes things REALLY tough.
