I know my sister would watch a game then...she is a Sacred Heart alum. I also have family that went to CCSU and it would be cool to watch a game together...if I ever get back to CT.

I think those are all great reasons to play the state schools.

I don't mean this to be condescending or rude, I truly don't. But it's likely we all have friends or family that went to other Connecticut universities and some posters on this site went to other universities themselves. A large number of the people who attend or attended other Connecticut schools are they themselves UConn fans first because their school was not one they grew up rooting for. Family fun is not a reason to put those teams on our schedule.

It would work in say, hockey, where there are three legitimate Connecticut hockey schools and another that fields a team, but it's not a good idea when you play basketball in a league that already requires you play 2-3 200+ RPI teams in any given year.

Sacred Heart hockey could use help from their alumni in attendance.

We played Central just last year at XL and there was nobody there and we took a hit with their 300 RPI. No good. Apologies to Young Free and his family.

Dang it.

You don't sound condescending or rude. You are right that it isn't a reason to put them on the schedule, just saying if we had to put teams on and couldn't get anyone else I would at least be happy because of the family fun.

The overall OOC schedule was great, but the home slate was a hot mess.

It did have a visit from the eventual national champs. And they put on a clinic.

I'll work harder at it next time . J/K.

I see you're new here. Welcome to the Oregon State Hospital, Mr. McMurphy. Nurse Ratched will be along with your medication shortly.
