"Kinda" because it is related to college hoops in the state/area.
I went to the Fairfield at Quinnipiac game tonight, and enjoyed the matchup. Fairfield kept it close throughout, but ultimately QU pulled away behind an awesome performance from a Shelton kid - Rich Kelly, 27 points. I went with my father, a Stag alum, and relieved him of $5. I had never been to the complex at QU but I was really impressed. The dual hoops/hockey arena is really cool, and it was relatively new, nice, and clean. It got me wondering about checking out other D1 games in-state, or even out (Mass, RI, VT, NY, NJ).
Does anyone here ever attend Yale, UHart, CCSU, or Sacred Heart games? Or, does anyone have suggestions for nice, small, localish arenas where you can catch a great player/team/matchup? And you can sit front row, no problem, for about $15. Maybe like a UVM, Umass, or BU or BC? Were you impressed or not with the product? Product meaning overall entertainment value, not necessarily just the skill level (especially when compared to a UCONN team). I can see myself checking out some other in-state D1 games in the future, and even out-of-state. I feel like there must be so many options for checking out a good college hoops game within driving distance from CT, and I just realized how few of them I've gone to.
