OT: Non-UConn CT Schools Tournament Watch

[tykurez]

CCSU advanced to the semi’s yesterday and will play 6-seed Wagner (who beat 3-seed Sacred Heart) on Saturday.

Quinnipiac and Fairfield will likely kick off on Wednesday.

Yale will go next Saturday.

Getting two or three CT schools out of these conferences would be awesome.

Excited to share that earlier today, I just got accepted for media credentials to cover Ivy Madness!

Honestly, if it weren't for the encouragement and good vibes from many here on The Boneyard, I'm not sure that I would have had the spark to start my blog.

Grateful for this place!

On the DII front, SCSU (coached by our own Scott Burrell) plays in the NE-10 Championship game on Saturday in Manchester, NH. Roster features Mamadou and Hassan’s younger brother, Cherif Diarra, as well as a transfer from Shaheen Holloway’s Cinderella St Peter’s team.

Imagine 3 ct schools making it. I think 2 have made it in the past. But not sure 3 has ever happened. Pulling for all of them. Really hope none of them get a 16 to play uconn, that'd suck.

And four teams can make it!

If CCSU and Le Moyne advance to the NEC final, CCSU will automatically make March Madness due to Le Moyne's ineligibility.

That’s a fun tidbit! However unlikely … I’m worried about Merrimack as they split the season series with them (both really close games.)

It would have been so sweet for Le Moyne to make the NCAA's for all the Cuse fans to stew on however

There has never been more than 2 Connecticut teams participating in the NCAA Tournament in the same season:

2022 (2) - #5 UConn and #14 Yale
2021 (2) - #7 UConn and #16 Hartford
2016 (2) - #9 UConn and #12 Yale
2002 (2) - #2 UConn and #14 CCSU
2000 (2) - #5 UConn and #15 CCSU
1957 (2) - UConn and Yale

Also, there has been 7 seasons with a team from the state, other than UConn, playing in the NCAAs:

2019 - #14 Yale
2007 - #16 CCSU
1997 - #16 Fairfield
1987 - #16 Fairfield
1986 - #13 Fairfield
1962 - Yale

Not as grateful as many of us are for you! You deserve this!

Also, Southern Connecticut State's men's and women's teams both advancing to the NE-10 Conference Finals with NCAA D-II Championship bids on the line.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

I'm currently coaching a math competition in Hartford and should be free around 3:15ish. Debating to try to sneak into the CCSU game before it's over to, hopefully, see a festive gym.

 

[BugsyCT]

Missed the whole game but a disappointing end to CCSU’s NCAA tourney dreams. At 20-11 hope they get some postseason bid somewhere.

Wagner was pretty awful this season too. That sucks. I hate when teams play badly all season and then sneak in with a tourney run.

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

it sucks when your whole hopes ride on winning your conference tournament but alas. I wouldnt want them expanding the tournament anymore

That's awesome, @Hey Adrien! Congratulations.

How's your Ivy fashion game?

I tuned into the Central game today. Maybe It was an off day but they were horrendous offensively. UVA level bad and boring to watch.

 

[Get a Job]

I went to the CCSU game. It was cool to see a small gym environment in person. I imagine it would have been a zoo on Tuesday for the championship had they advanced.

Couldn't make a foul shot or get a stop when they needed to.

Honestly, their conference tournament is their big tournament, like how we see the NCAA. That’s how it is for those smaller programs. If they win that, the rest is gravy. The likelihood of them winning again is slim anyway
