I heard a rumor today that UConn will face a regional mid-major in a "secret scrimmage"

[Hey Adrien!]

I know we yearn to play against more challenging regional mid-majors, but I heard a rumor today that UConn will face a regional mid-major in a "secret scrimmage". It's a school we've played before, a program with a rich history and a lot of recent success.

UMass?

 

[Scrutineer]

Maybe URI in the Hall of Fame game?

My faith in humanity moving forward is always shaken after reading comments like this.

So secret they're hiding it in plain sight!

 

[Palatine]

Syracuse?

 

[HuskyHawk]

Syracuse?

Is Canada part of our region?

 

[Rico444]

Syracuse?

Good guess, but they haven't had any recent success.

 

[Waquoit]

Syracuse?

We're already playing Le Moyne so playing Cuse wouldn't really add anything.

 

[HuskyCLT]

Is this a riddle when you say "rich?" I'm guessing an Ivy, maybe Yale.

 

[Omahabound]

Vermont

 

[Hunt for 7]

If we guess the answer how long before we know the rumor is accurate? If it is secret will we ever officially find out?

If it is a riddle which I hope it is I will go with HuskyCLT answer…..and if he is right kudos to the OP for creativity and some insider scoop and to the member who figured it out.

 

[LetsGoUC]

Syracuse?

Recent success eliminates the Canadiens.

 

[UCLJ0211]

Yale or UVM are my guesses

 

[auror]

Haven't we played pretty much every school ever in our history? Or does that mean in Hurley's tenure?

Fairfield?

 

[Eric K]

Bryant?

 

[UCFan1513]

Played Harvard in a secret scrimmage a couple years ago

 

[Waquoit]

Bryant?

I think Yale is in the Bryant category as well.

I thought Providence is considered a conference game?

 

[Huskyforlife]

Why the riddle? Will the UConn mafia smoke you out for sharing this information?

 

[ctchamps]

Indiana and the winner’s prize is Mullins!

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Why the riddle? Will the UConn mafia smoke you out for sharing this information?

Simple answer: I'm not familiar shouldering the immense responsibility of "insider information", so just double-checked with my source to see if it's cool to share it here and he said wait until it's confirmed, so mum is the word.

 

[HooperScooper]

I think Yale is in the Bryant category as well.

I remember James Jones saying something about UConn. Is this what you are referring to:

Pete Janney: Do you want to play UConn again?

James Jones: I want to play a lot of teams who won’t play us, so the answer is yes.

Providence?

 

[10TOES]

My guess is Iona. If I remember correctly OP attends a lot of their games and may have some connects.

 

[HooperScooper]

Providence?

“A lot of recent success.”

Doesn’t seem to fit.

 

[auror]

My guess is Iona. If I remember correctly OP attends a lot of their games and may have some connects.

This was my guess as well.

 

[pj]

This was my guess as well.

Yale would be good, but then he might have said "in-state" instead of "regional". Iona is a good guess.

Regional, but "more challenging" rules out BCU
