Mid court uconn huskies should be fliped

Mid court uconn huskies should be fliped

Press tables will block that. The only people who will see it are the people that will be sitting across from it.

Think about it, it won't be on TV. No need to flip it.

Zoom in to underneath the hoop. Guess the court is named Alumni Court. Has it always been that?

 

[mcs333]

I like it. The husky at center court is much larger.

 

[huskyniner]

No complaints here.

 

[YearoftheHusky]

Change the AAC logo to B1G and I like it!

that looks hot

 

[specialisthusky]

Looks good, but I hope its a work in progress. There is a giant blue and red "A" stain that we need to get rid of.

Someone should tell the people painting it that this is the template because they put UConn Huskies at the top, not the corners.

Press tables will block that. The only people who will see it are the people that will be sitting across from it.

But is this the real template? They already deviated from the picture by putting the name at the top.

 

[BugsyCT]

Looks fine. The darker wood shade inside the arc is a nice touch. Just hope the AAC logos won't be around long.

 

[BoatShow]

Is college doing away with the charge/block arc?

I'd like it to be hall of fame court

No don't believe so

I think it's absolutely great! We are starting a new era of Husky basketball. I don't know how the AAC will work out. Hopefully very well. I am not convinced at all that the AAC will stand in the way of the program continuing it's long history of success...it's long history of winning championships. I am convinced that this new court is a great way to get things rolling.

GO HUSKIES!!!

Sadly, I think you're wrong. The trend, unfortunately has been that championships have been the private domain of the BCS powers going back a quarter of a century now. Oh from time to time a mid-major makes a run, most recently Butler, but those are pretty much short lived one time things where everything breaks just right. And where have they been since? Memphis did a few years ago, but had to cheat to do it. Championships are the exclusive domain of the majors. UConn has been left out of the club. Remember the past fondly and look forward to the days when maybe we can raise a CBI banner or another NIT, because we're not winning NCAA titles any more. Going forward this is a decidedly mid-major conference and anyone who doesn't understand that is just whistling past the graveyard. The typical AAC program doesn't draw flies. Other than Memphis and UConn, no one else draws over 10,000 per game. In fact, other than the top 4, Memphis, UConn, Cincinnati, and Temple, average attendance is about 3800 a game. SMU barely gets 0ver 2000 to its games and I'm told they don't even charge for students. This is a basketball league that nobody cares about even at the schools involved. Houston which waylon and some others are touting as the program of the futrue wouldn't even sell out the old UConn Field House. Face facts Hoops, we're in basketball purgatory at best. At worst, basketball hell. How long do we remain nationally competitive at something more than the level of a Temple, when we have to sell kids on playing half their games in front of empty seats against teams that would regularly get their butts kicked by DePaul? We might be a good mid-major, maybe if things break right we have a good run now and then. But in basketball in particular, your conference is your destiny in many respects.

It has been Alumni Court because that is who traditionally paid for it.

Not true, but close. The BCS has only existed for 15 years going on 16 years and UConn did not have a Div. 1A football team in 1999, when they won.

The facts in their proper context are as follows:

No Div. 1 school basketball program has won a basketball National Chapionship in 29 years ('Nova-Big East, 1985), while competing in a conference that does not also sponsor Div 1A football.

It is also a fact that no Div. 1 school has won a basketball National Chapionship and does not also sponsor Div 1A football in 15 years (UConn - 1999). These time frames are eerily similar for womens basketball (Old Dominion in the mid 80's).
