Pitino: “That’s why next year, the only game we’re playing at Carnesecca is Connecticut. The rest, we’re gonna negotiate.”

[nyhuskies13]

PC is 10-6 all time in Hartford and 2-14 at Gampel. Over the last 20 years the teams are 10-10 against each other. PC has won every game at Hartford played in the last 34 years. January of 1988 is the last time PC lost in Hartford I believe.

You hang a few banners for those wins, maybe hand out a ring or two for beating UConn?

Aside from '97, 1988 is also the last time Providence made it past the Sweet 16. So there's that

What's your favored unit of measurement for the "amount of fans," you're considering? A ton?

Providence travels to Hartford about as well as Temple fans did.

 

[gioff2323]

Very different stuff. Pitino is trying to schedule UConn out of MSG because UConn fans outnumber St Johns fans in NYC in those "home" games

UConn splits between XL and Gampel because of financials, yes. But no venue will ever be decided because the other team's fans will travel and outnumber UConn's in either building

Is the 2d part true? I always assumed that was mandated by state as way for them to get some revenue on a 3d rate building they can’t otherwise finance. How much more do we net playing at HCC?

 

[MexicoHusky]

Let’s see when UConn plays PC in Hartford again. Same stuff.

This is news to me.... That Providence travels well to Hartford. I honestly had no idea and I'm a bit skeptical. I've seen opposing fans in Hartford before, but never what I would consider a lot. At most a section of the arena. Not 1/3 or 1/2 the arena.

If I were you I'd focus less on representing well in Hartford and more on representing well Nationally. Playing well in the NCAAs for example. Loved the win against Duke in like 98. But since then not much.

Interesting. I had no idea what our record was against PC. Clearly it's important to you.

 

[CL82]

Not a heck of a lot. We lose money by going to Hartford unless it is a sellout. If it is a sellout, we don't make more money than if we sold out Gampel. Keep in mind that in addition to paying 40+ thousand dollars to lease the facility, they're also is a three dollar a seat surcharge, plus we don't make anything on concessions or parking in Hartford. Benedict has said that playing in CDRA managed facilities cost the university of Connecticut about 7 million a year both in actual fees and lost revenue.

 

[drayenob]

In my head? PC has won the last 4 games played in Hartford. Now they’re playing for the 2nd year in a row at Gampel and I’m saying we won’t see Hartford for a very long time. Hardly some far out there thought. Hurley said it.

Pitino: we are going to play UConn at Carnesseca.

UConn fans: they are scared of us at MSG

Hurley: we are going to play PC at Gampel

PC fans: they are scared of us in Hartford

UConn fans: it’s not the same

Was this something you made up? When and where did Hurley say this?

 

[FriarJ]

Clearly I used the Google machine just like the person who asked me the question about dates could have.

 

[FriarJ]

No, not made up. It was something he said a few years ago. I have looked for the video but have not been able to find it. @August_West remembers. Apparently he’s a fan of Hartford.

UConn gets totally screwed by refs every time they Providence in Hartford or at Providence. The crowd in Hartford is overwhelmingly pro UConn. PC fans have nothing to do with the success of Providence at Hartford in my opinion. For some reason the Big East refs just love Providence and always have. This is why Providence always struggles outside of conference and in the tournament. It is also why UConn does so well outside of conference and in the tournament. Once UConn escapes the biased Big East officiating it’s like a weight removed and they dominate. For some reason when they play at Gampel, this bias against them is far less.

 

[NotADime89]

Probably because it doesn't exist. Delusional....

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Not a ton. If it was a ton of me then that would only be 9 fans.

Never pictured you as being that big. In all candor I would leave guessed ~155 as an undergrad back in the day and maybe 175 now.

145 as an undergrad, at 6’2”. A beanpole.

As good a place as any to drop this (might be the last time for a while ):

The amount you post on here stresses me out. I'm about as big a basketball fan as you can find and I've probably visited the PC board once. You have little brother syndrome. I'm all for the drama usually, but my PCP says I gotta worry about cardiac incidents with my family history of heart disease.

You have complete control over your own stress level. If you don’t, then seek a mental health professional to walk you through the steps to control it before you have a heart attack. You’re welcome.

Sounds risky. I prefer taking it out on people with low BBIQ on the 'yard.

And yet here you are droning on about it on a Connecticut board.

Just saying.

It offended you, clearly. Good. My point remains it will be a while before Hurley plays PC in Hartford and a while before he sees SJU in the garden during the conference season.

PC has 1 win in Hartford in the last 15 years and it was when our 1st team All Big East center was out. It's a neat stat, but also it's nonsense.

We’ve only played there once in that time frame and we weren’t in the same conference for quite a few years. Don’t forget to mention the refs. Talk about nonsense.

 

[dvegas]

Hey if Putztino wants to pull that move, I say resurrect the Field House for our home game vs SJU. I know Villanova did that for a Big 5 game when the Pavilion was being renovated. Students only, a Saturday night, $2 beers. F slick Rick....

 

[CL82]

Nope, it amuses me. It's pretty funny when posters come here to tell us how great their programs are, particularly those that, well, really don't do anything in the postseason whatsoever.
