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

My friends from URI think they're historic.........Hurley got them to the tournament two times when we sucked, as I've been reminded. Do you mean they're just delusional?
Or is there something else I'm missing?

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

Bragging rights over all of Syracuse

But seriously, Vermont is regional; we have history; and they've had recent success, so that's, my guess.

Ummm, the fact that the OP stated this was a "secret" scrimmage and the URI game has been publicly announced as a charity event and is going to have fans in attendance? Yeah, that would be what you missed.

Dumping names:
URI (no secret here, it’s happening)
Yale
Harvard
Princeton (my guess)
St Peters
Vermont
St Boneventure
Iona
Buffalo
Fairleigh Dickinson
James Madison (too far?)
VCU (too far?)
Rutgirls ;)
 
UConn should play Yale every year as long as James Jones is the coach. In state and they are exactly how to prepare for the first round.
 
VCU or Princeton would be nice
Pick your style of play

Can't be them because the rumor included "and a lot of recent success" unless zero tournament wins in the last almost 30 years qualifies? ;)

I remember those days. UMass was talking out loud about "dictating terms".

Yeah I was being sarcastic. Guess I should have added a smiley face.

I still remember (I believe it was spring 1995, not long after both schools were eliminated in regional finals) Calipari said some BS about his program being clearly the best in the northeast. When asked about it, Jim Calhoun said (paraphrasing) "Yes, there is a difference. I'm trying to build a program, something that will survive and succeed long after I'm no longer here."

That was one hell of a prophetic statement.

Robert Morris may or may not have experienced some recent success, but the school located NW of Pittsburgh sure as hell is neither regional nor in NJ. /s

In addition, I don't believe UConn has ever played Robert Morris. So there's another strike.

I think it's pretty clear who the "secret" team is based on the OP and who posted it.

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.

Harvard is a low major. They don't have a rich history with a lot of recent success. Tell your sources they got bad information. Was Harvard the team they said we'd be playing? I think this is at least the 3rd year in a row UConn has played Harvard in a secret scrimmage.

From Dave Borges:

Typically, Hurley has played two closed-door scrimmages in preparation for the regular season. Due to the exhibition game, this year it will only be one, against Harvard, whom Hurley has scrimmaged behind closed doors since his days as URI's head coach.
