Foreshadowing Sunday

[UConnTrumbull]

As someone who is AT the game on Friday. It is NOT a UConn crowd. Anyone who thinks we will have an automatic pro-UConn crowd Sunday is wrong. It will be 3v1 (Duke/Wisco/NW vs us). Buy tickets now.

 

[Dooooooomed]

Duke won't be playing on Sunday.

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

Do we know game time yet?

 

[Jaker]

Dook sucks

 

[RuffRuff]

Was there as well. The NW showing was impressive, that was a packed arena for game one. I expect a heavy anti UConn crowd there if Duke and Wisky get there.

UConn game was dead. Stetson and their 500 fans were much louder, even down 30.

I've posted this in multiple places. Everyone who's not a UConn fan will be against us. 3 to 1. The NCAA Selection Committee gave us the toughest group because we're close to home, but it's not a home court advantage. We need to buy up every possible ticket. No excuses. I couldn't go today, but bought tickets for my kids. I'm going to Boston if we win Sunday. I don't care what it costs.

 

[Marat]

I'll be there, and can't wait ! Let's Go!

I suspect it will be better on Sunday. I'm sure a lot of UConn fans didnt think taking a day off to see the 1v16 seed would be worth it.

 

[Jmark212]

Who was gonna take a day off to watch UConn win by 50. This weekend will be a much better showing and if we make it to Boston I suspect it will be 80% UConn fans.

 

[jibsey]

Bummed. On a flight.

if Yale beats SDSU it will be an incredibly tough ticket.

 

[Giddyup5]

I don’t think it’s about how many tickets UConn fans can buy. It’s more the fact that the other 3 fan bases are going to cheer against us.

We could probably get Harvard to buy all the tickets Yale would want and sell them to us.

You are correct whether people understand or not. It’s highly unlikely a majority of the crowd Sunday will be pro-UConn. That comes with being the favorite.

 

[Zionn]

Who cares? The entire UConn legacy is based on having a chip on our shoulder. We will be prepared. It will take more than fans to take us down.

 

[jibsey]

Right now our coaches are preparing to do an all nighter for tomorrow’s practice and run through. The team will be as prepared as possible and Hurley will refocus the defensive intensity we had in the first half today. Then we let it happen and the chips fall. It’s all that can be done but our team is not going to mail it in.

 

[Icehawk]

Even if the entire arena was against UConn, so what? The next round shouldn't be a struggle.

like 250 fans. but they were very into the game! they were having a blast down by 35

 

[NorwalkHusky]

Yeah the Northwestern fans were out in full force! No joke, we have to show up today was kinda sad

 

[uconngb]

We are winning by a minimum of 20. Whose butts are in the seats is irrelevant.

 

[HeGotGame]

Where did you find that?

Times are not announced yet and 2:30 isn't even a time slot I don't think

Who suggested we may mail it in?

 

[cmgresh36]

I was there in the 200s and we had a few good chants. It was a blowout. What do you expect?

That being said we need to bring it to beat those Midwest nerds Sunday

My DirectTV Stream guide has the game up as 7 pm Sunday on TBS

Hurley I think wasn't thrilled with parts of the second half but the team will not mail anything in, but any team can lose focus. Easy to do when up so much.

Was hoping for a later game. Have plans earlier.
