Jimmy V Classic: UConn vs UNC

[bazzdog]

Oh I thought you were talking about the Jimmy V Classic tickets. I can’t go out to Kansas for that game but am hoping to make it to MSG for the first time for a UConn game.

They’re on sale for Jimmy V too on Vivid!

Unc is one team that's had uconns number over the years so would be nice to get them back for 1998 and that OT 3 point loss.

Completely agree. But always got along well with them arguing about who hates Dook more. Good times.

Duck Fook! Walking with that T-shirt on in Piedmont park during a festival with our UNC close friend was a great memory. That was the day we came back and beat them. Was watching in a bar down there and everyone was pulling for UConn after seeing my shirt.

what a day.

Epic half by Emeka.

"He did not doubt his destiny when Duke was ahead by 8 points with 3 minutes 28 seconds to play.

He does not remember his team's 12-0 run, or how he scored all 18 of his points in the second half, intimidated the Duke shooters and fouled out the three Blue Devils who had pounded him and hounded him into his own foul trouble."

And in terms of quotes from opponent coaches this one isn't bad either:

Krzyzewski conceded that it was a devastating way for his team to end a 31-6 season.
''It was a difficult, very difficult,'' he said in a halting voice. "I'm sorry it was such a crushing defeat.''

Tickets went on sale Oct 5 last year. Doubt they hit same timeline for 2023 but should be soon.

Why?

Wow. Why on earth do you think that?

Why?

Wow. Why on earth do you think that?

Because they will lose some games, and the one at Kansas is probably the toughest one on the schedule, given the opponent and venue.

So because Kansas is a tough game you think we will lose to UNC? Thinking we will lose a game is not part of my DNA.

I think there’s a decent chance UNC absolutely sucks this year, hoping we beat the s*** out of them. No dept and I question their stars

You misunderstood. My post to which you originally replied was referring to Kansas. I think we will beat UNC. (Doomed.)

Come on man. I don't. UConn is a very bad matchup for them with size that can match theirs and much better depth. That's going to be a hell of a game. I don't think our guys will be intimidated by playing at AFH after the tournament run last year.

Hope you're right! I'm just hedging emotionally more than anything else.

Anybody on either side of that game that is truly confident they will win, is deluding themselves.

Has anyone gotten confirmation from the ticket office that there will be an allotment of tickets available for the Jimmy V made available for donors?

It's really a toss up. Our guys wont be intimidated, agreed. And we do have better depth. But usually AFH has 3 extra players wearing zebra stripes which can be discouraging for a road team. But Im more hopeful this year. I think we are beginning to see the worm turn for the perception of Kansas, and that maybe the institutional enabling of the rug doctor and his merry band of criminals is on the way out. Rome wasn't built in a day, but we gotta start somewhere.

tossup between MSU and KU for the most overrated team in america right now but ill give it to KU by virtue of being preseason #1.

they have ZERO good 3 point shooters in their projected starting lineup of harris, jackson, mcullar, adams, and dickinson. timberlake is their only shooter off the bench. the loss of morris might really hurt.

just pack the paint and double dickinson.

We won’t have to double dickinson

Just heard back from the ticket office and the email should be going out this week or early next week.
