I know we have been focusing on the 27th, but the date I am looking at now is a Saturday game (January 2nd). The rest of the BE is playing that day, and we happen to be the team with the "bye" that Saturday. Just bad timing in the schedule. So we have almost another a week between in the 30th game at home with DePaul and a road game at Marquette on the 5th.
While it would be simply a buy game, Sacred Heart is off until January 7th. They are #332 in KenPom, with a 2-3 record. It won't be a sexy matchup like Michigan, but right now we need games under our belt. Being an in state game, travel wouldn't be an issue for our opponent.
They had discussed playing before the season.
UConn and Sacred Heart went through the COVID shutdown essentially at the same time. At UConn, where the Huskies resume practice Thursday, the players could work in groups of two with one ball per group, on opposite ends of the floor.
“Tom Moore is a good friend; we called them,” Latina said. “I asked them what they were thinking and doing and I told them what we had in mind. They obviously have a private facility (Werth Center), have a little more ability to do some things.”
There was, Latina said, a game set to meet UConn on Dec. 9. When the Big East adjusted its December schedule, UConn couldn’t make that date work. Sacred Heart was unable to find another spot.
“The schedule is so crazy, who knows, we may end up playing anyway,” Latina said. “They get canceled. We get canceled. It’s local. It’s always a great opportunity for us.”
