UConn would not be able to be sent to Hartford, but thanks for the debbie downer post anyways!

Host team can't play there.

You can't play on your home floor. UConn used to qualify to play in Hartford because we played less than a certain percentage of home games at the HCC. I think that's why U. Hartford used to be the host when the games were there. Now that number is much smaller and we'd never be able to play there in the NCAA tournament.

Can't play more than 3 regular season games on that Court

Awesome.

complete with the national championship trophies. I think if you stack all of our trophies and all of the women's tropies, they make one big giant, super mutant trophy (pictured)

I used to work across the street from the HCC . I got tickets for '98. Went into work in the morning and was able to park at my normal lot. People were so pissed that there was no parking for people coming for the noon games on Thursday. People were parking down at the Xfinity Theatre and having to walk to HCC.

Based on our recent run of luck, I expect to see the following matchups for the 2019 NCAA tournament in Hartford:

Game 1 : (6) Providence v (11) Southern Cal
Game 2 : (3) Louisville v (14) Georgetown

In game 1, Providence wins with 16 assists from Makai Ashton-Langford. Those assists are primarily based on huge games from the Providence front court (coached by Glen Miller).

In game 2, Georgetown pulls off a huge upset with a coast-to-coast buzzer beater from Tremont Waters. Coach Ewing says that they win because of the in-game adjustments orchestrated by associate coach Karl Hobbs.

In the pod finals, Providence beats Georgetown in a classic battle between sophomore all-American guards. MALs 35 pts / 12 assts performance outdoes Waters' 42 pts / 7 assts in an instant classic featuring two future NBA guards who battle for the next 20 years in the NBA.

The all-tournament team for the pod will be:

PG : MAL (Providence)
SG : Waters (Georgetown)
SF : Vance Jackson (Southern Cal)
PF : Juwan Durham (Louisville)
C : Steven Enoch (Louisville)

So I have to hope we make the field next season then, I see TD Garden is hosting regional finals...

and me hoping we make the tourney field is Debbie downer-ing? I think you should upgrade what you classify as being a Debbie Downer for 2017

2019 is not next season, it is two season away. Boston is 2018, Hartford is 2019. You are all over the place

 

[Ha Who]

Hopefully they control the parking lot owners. These are fun games. I loved it when Hartford previously hosted. Been a long time

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

hoping the turnout is better than the AAC tournament

 

[upstater]

Surprised at the lack of northeast presence in the first round. I suppose South Carolina is the pairing with Hartford? Pretty shocking.

No I think I'm on point now, I'm hoping we make the field next season and somehow can get to the regional finals so I can see it in Boston... which would be the 2018 season right? If "next" season is 2018, then I know what I'm saying now (but I didn't when I said I hoped UConn would make the 2019 field now that I know we couldn't be placed in the Hartford regional)

 

[Rocktheworld]

Isn't one of the regional finals at the Garden too? Or is that this coming tournament?

Hartford Gets NCAA Men's Tournament Games In 2019

Webster Bank arena will host hockey regionals next year March 23-35

The Rent will host lacrosse QF in 2019 and the championship in 2021 and 2022

 

[FartMan69]

Love this. Amazing they'd put it here without the giant upgrades because that arena might be the worst in all of North America.

I know this won't happen, but theoretically could we just schedule 3 games there for that season only so we are eligible to play there?
