Is Cooley going to reel in the home state transfer Alex Murphy from Duke or allow him to head to the Gators? I honestly hope you guys get him......Donovan had good luck with his brother but I see him being more valuable to your program next year.

Has PC ever beaten URI and Brown in the same season?
Umm have they even had the opportunity? PC gets up for UConn that doesn't mean your program is on UConns level or above Fairfield. Other aspects place it below the former and above the later. That's just a horrendous example to use, try better please.
I dunno, starting the season at Barclays center on a Friday night vs MD on ESPN. Then 2 weeks later in MSG on ESPN vs Indiana, then, this past Big Monday vs Fla. on ESPN certainly beats playing PC on SNY or Fox1.
Let's face it PC or UMass aren't that attractive for UConn at present. UMass is finally good, but who knows for how long.
BTW, Friar fans better be more concerned with the Minutemen than any future game with us.

Prime example of MOST UConn fans knowing ZERO about college hoops outside of Storrs. CT.

Yep, and you guys know EVERYTHING about college hoops outside of the NCAA tournament.
RE- Alex Murphy
I know there is interest, but at this point, we have 13 guys on schollies. If he came, we would need to have one open for the spring semester. I have read that he is Florida's to lose, so it may all be moot. In all honesty, with Dunn being a going concern, Cotton graduating, Austin being suspended, and a transfer for next year who is best known for his athleticsm, we desperately need a shooter and a PG with our last 2 ships.

It's an example of most PEOPLE not giving a duck about mid-major regional programs. Don't kid yourself.
I know this is going to come as a shock to you, but not knowing the score of the PC-Fairfield game is hardly the same as not knowing, for example, that Carolina beat Michigan State the other night. I live on the west coast and if i took a poll of the sports fans in my office - which i won't because it's freaking lame - I would bet that the only people who had even heard of PC or Fairfield would be a random Connecticut / Southern New England transplant, if there was one.
I get that you've probably never left the Northeast so you don't have a sense of just how anonymous these programs are, but you sound ridiculous.

PC is at a completely different level than Fairfield, just looking at post-seson performance the last 5 years.
PC has one appearance and a dream-like run to the NIT quarterfinals.
Fairfield has one appearance and dropped out one round earlier than PC did last year.
So, as I score it PC - One Dream season & Fairfield - No dream seasons.
TKO - PC.

The point is that only a deluded PC fan who thinks his program has a national profile that it doesn't would take that to be a "prime example" of "most" UConn fans not knowing about college basketball beyond UConn.
It's really just a "prime example" of people not giving a about crappy regional games like that. Maybe you and your friends are still buzzing about last night's Rider / Monmouth game, too. I'm not, but that doesn't mean I don't know anything about college basketball beyond UConn.
