-> [B]Exploring Storrs North[/B]

Word came out this [URL='https://x.com/AdamHimmelsbach/status/1915119356410724825']week from the Boston Globe that the UConn men,[/URL] who are not playing in a multiteam event next season (keeping Dan Hurley on the mainland) were exploring a game vs. BYU at TD Garden in Boston. Most on social media seemed to like the idea, some didn’t. [URL='https://x.com/UConnHuskyAD/status/1915170943346807021']AD David Benedict explained on his X account:[/URL]

“We’re replacing games that most couldn’t attend for local or regional locations and getting paid,” Benedict said. “These are neutral-site games, not home-and-homes, more fans, better financially. [I][B]We’re going to continue to do what we can to remain relevant[/B][/I]. (My emphasis). XL and Gampel games will be balanced. … We’re exchanging (multiteam events). Promoters have been driving scheduling and receiving the lion’s share of the money. No more.”

Anytime UConn can expand its footprint from New York to Boston, it’s a good thing. Huskies fans travel. <-
