Is Saturday the biggest day for this program since the 2014 natty?

[87Xfer]

It may be if you believe Goodmans rakings - #19 Providence @ #24 UConn

 

[UConnSwag11]

lol no

Maybe the most exciting? Especially the anticipation

 

[Sky ball]

Why do we do silly $#!t like this? The half dozen or so PC lurkers are going to take this back to whatever board they post on and claim they are in our heads and we view them above any other rival (that in itself is unimportant as they can promote any delusions they want in their board).

What it will do is provide the handful of their fans (who, when they feel brave, start annoying us on this board claiming the programs are peers and that each needs the other) sufficient internet cajones to return here for a week or so.

Why do you care what 2 dozen PC Fans think about Boneyarders? Even if they were in OUR head I am sure the players don't care what's in OUR head and will be just fine..

 

[Sky ball]

I refuse to say any game against Providence is the 'biggest game' of anything.

Biggest game this weekend?

 

[huskdogs]

lol no

That’s what I meant originally. Then everyone went big brain and reminded me that a game in December isn’t as valuable as the NCAA tournament

 

[MexicoHusky]

No. Also, I don't think the board can handle that type of pressure.

 

[Waquoit]

I'm looking forward to a 90's style atmosphere in a sold out HCC. The type of crowd that helps with recruiting

It will be. 5:00pm on a Saturday? The "suits" are going to be hammered.

 

[TJT]

Games against tiny schools are never BIG.

 

[outlaw]

First game I circled on the calendar. Whether or not its actually the biggest game - cannot wait for big east hoops in a full house.

Hartford, lets bring the dam NOISE

Nova and Gonzaga?

On the national stage, UConn is a small school to many

The crowd will let you know what they think

 

[willie99]

I think a few Yarders need to learn how to enjoy the ride

Some get all worked up about a short handed tough road loss, and others (maybe the same people) downplay the significance of a sold out home conference game against a local rival

To the moon Alice

 

[Huskyforlife]

It's obviously nowhere close, but I hope the players feel that way.

 

[Palatine]

It's the most important game on the schedule this week!!!

 

[F101Voodoo]

I can’t remember the fan base being more excited for a game since then. Full house…. National TV… Huskies. PC fans in the building beware…

Games versus Providence in the Jim Calhoun days was WW III. Hope we can rekindle that tradition in the Hurley era. Sometimes even more open warfare than against BC. “ Those were the days my friend we thought they would never end………ra ra ra ra ra ra…….”

 

[F101Voodoo]

PC has never been the biggest game in any season.

Well, maybe for the Friars but never for us.

I recall those games being a battle. No not the same as against GeorgeTown but Providence and UConn spilled blood. Well mostly figuratively.

 

[F101Voodoo]

Yeah, but UConn-PC games are intense in person.

Thanks. that is my take on Providence vs UCONN. It was intense but the Friars did not turn the other cheek as a guy from long ago once said…

 

[F101Voodoo]

Nova and Gonzaga?

I have said that we need to think BIG….

 

[F101Voodoo]

Over 30 years UCONN won 29 games vs 18 loses to PC. I agree but the games were intense in my opinion.

 

[back2BE4us]

Biggest games I can remember:
1. Maryland in 2021 tourney - obvious reasons but also for Hurley to take next step, recruiting moment on big stage
2. Syracuse win in Hurley's first year - rival, establish confidence in Hurley as a coach, recruiting moment against a NE recruiting foe

This Providence game might not even be top 15 or 20 for me.

 

[husky429]

I'll have a good time... but no.

Should be a loud sellout. First non-cupcake in almost 2 years.

I don't think anyone is talking in terms of importance. More so in terms of excitement. This is our fans first time back in the building for a Big East game. Add into that we are ranked with expectations.

It’s pretty much sold out already

 

[jibsey]

It’s pretty much sold out already

As a Saturday afternoon game that young kids can attend without being out late at night there was a lot of pre buy for that my guess. My grandson got this game as a holiday gift.

You can alway get one close to game time outside the entry, especially close to tip

 

[Palatine]

The only Friar from our meetings I really remember is John Linnnehan(?). He was a great player, an amazing pest. Fun to watch in a perverted way as he was a thorn in the side of the Huskies.

 

[Waquoit]

I think you have 2 too many n's.

 

[Palatine]

I think you have 2 too many n's.

I've been told that before.

 

[Watchdog]

Love the swag shown here by many but PC has always been a tough game and this year they've won AT Wisconsin and beat Texas Tech in the Big12 matchup so I'm not so sure we should be writing them off as if they're BCU.
Of course we did beat CCSU by more........
