[Jorgensen]

Yeah yeah it’s too early, but sign me up for this right now. Brooklyn -> Boston. Duke as the 1. Yes please.

Yes, the goal is two rounds in NYC and two rounds in Bahstun.

 

[HooperScooper]

Yes, the goal is two rounds in NYC and two rounds in Bahstun.

Didn't even know the 3rd and 4th rounds are in Boston next year. After Worcester in 2005 I'd actually prefer if UConn wasn't here.

 

[geordi]

Forget Boston. They have to put us in the West Regional. We win championships from the West Regional.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Forget Boston. They have to put us in the West Regional. We win championships from the West Regional.

We also won a championship from the East Regional.

This would be a terrific path.

That said, with who's projected to leave, I have a hard time seeing us in #2 seed range. The defending champ (or runner-up, see UNC last year) is almost always overrated, but having the buzz around the program is nice even if the results are unlikely to match.

Boo. I was in Worcester, that was bad. But TD Garden will be good for the team. I need to buy tickets.

 

[aburks41]

4 outta 5 titles from the West Regional. I live in Boston and I want us in the West. Clearly there's some weird voodoo magic there

 

[willie99]

I want the East, and I want to end Dook's dreams, yet again. Would be even better if they put UK, Gonzaga and SD St in our bracket

8-1 in the S16 and beyond vs those programs, 5-0 in the FF. With an 8 game winning streak

Only loss was to Dook in the dream season

 

[HuskyHawk]

Anybody know where you sign up for the East Regional ticket lottery?

 

[ZenConn]

Too early. Might be too high with a #2 seed considering we were a #4 this past year.

We put UCF basketball on the map. We were there and it was a read downer, both because of the arena and the outcome.

We...beat UCF.

Woobox Offer

 

[HuskyHawk]

Woobox Offer

I wasn't sure "Woobox" was legit.

 

[auror]

I wasn't sure "Woobox" was legit.

It was linked from a real NCAA page (and I got a confirmation email from NCAA email address).

I found it on BC's page, so yeah, I guess that's it.

 

[Waquoit]

We put UCF basketball on the map.

We gave them a National Champion to open their building and they responded by crapping on us ever since.

 

[August_West]

We also won a championship from the East Regional.

Mass gives me the heebie jeebies like Hooper geordi and aburks said.

Doomed

Doomed

Maybe I'm just hoping Kansas is there.

Donate to UConn

 

[ConnEd]

I was in Worcester too for the NC State game. It was not a pleasant day. But I won’t hold that against Boston.

 

[jibsey]

It’s too early and therefore not too bright.

 

[Husky25]

Umm, run what back, ESPN? Purdue lost on March 17, which for those keeping score, was the very first Friday of The Tournament..

I don't really care one way or the other about Duke being in the same bracket or not. I just care that UConn being in Brooklyn, my birth city, and then going to Boston, where I live now.

I would consider getting tickets for the BET, and the first two rounds in Brooklyn, and then the Sweet 16 and Elite 8 in Boston

Ultimately I want UConn to go to the bracket that is most advantageous and if that means not being in the East, so be it.
