Well you know my feelings...I hope these are conference games in the future...with that said...
No reason Cuse/UConn can't continue like other big national OOC matchups. I see either GTown or UConn becoming a yearly thing. SJU might become an annual MSG game--makes no sense to me to play a home n home with them. Not sure we'll have room for all three rivals + L'ville...we do tend to like to load up patsies in Nov/Dec. Nova is in good shape to get a series just due to geography (we recruit Philly hard)...I think the fans prefer: GTown/UConn annual home n home, SJU annual at MSG...then a dropoff to LVille and then Nova. After that no real desire to keep playing any BE teams in series.
From my perspective a 3 game series 1-1-1 with the 3rd game at MSG would be awesome with UConn. Split the garden in half.
As for our Aircraft Carrier game...it just wasn't basketball the wind took away the outside shot...but it hurt SDSU more than us. Glad we played it but I think this fad will pass (Games on boats) due to the issue of mother nature. I loved the idea of a game at Ramstein annually though.
For Cuse: The zone has a chance to be just as nasty as last year. RSFr Cooney is our outside threat we needed last year. As you know upperclassmen leadership is important along with staying drama free...we'll see. I think we are fairly rated at about #5-10 right now.
I love going to the ACC for the academic cachet, football, olympic sports and lacrosse (football: better tailgating, tradition + brands, more on campus stadiums, more $$$, better TV slots) but basketball is pretty much meh after UNC/Duke...MD and NCSt will amp up Cuse fans some but no one else at this point in time. If a Cuse fan tells you he won't miss BE basketball he is lying.
