Student Boycott?

[Waquoit]

Maybe 30 students besides the pep band here.

 

[HawkHusky]

Larrier with a turnover in the first possession. Surprise, surprise.

 

[UConnMike04]

Omg it looks and sounds like a scrimmage game in the field house on TV. I think I just heard someone drop a pretzel.

 

[Showballot]

Why are people still surprised that students don’t go to these games?

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Omg... I think I just heard someone drop a pretzel.

And not even enough people here to like this properly.

They shouldn’t be playing in Hartford on weekdays.

That wasn't a pretzel. It was ESPNU's ratings dropping.

I see what you did there.

Or KO's nuts hitting the floor.

anyone have a photo of crowd?

 

[Husk1881]

students arent driving to Hartford to watch UConn struggle to compete with teams like Tulsa on a Thursday night.

Impossible. They're in a jar on his ex's dresser. He really should've fought for visitation rights.

On the other hand you have #IceBus !

Crowd on the whole filled in pretty nicely. The free tickets for football season ticket holders probably helped or there would have been no one. Re: students, the team stinks the opponent is anonymous and it’s the first warm Thursday night of the semester. I’d been out drinking in a hoodie in a field somewhere

I understand hockey is a new thing for the students but they need to get more involved at those games too. Sure they show up but it’s far from a good college hockey atmosphere.

If you want to retain some players and recruits, the move toward a new coach must be made NOW, not at the end of the season. Appoint an interim coach.

Depressing, but it is nickle night!

 

[UConn Do It4]

I counted 16 students a min before tip. Everyone around us couldn't believe how bad it's become.

Weeknight game in Hartford against a opponent and an even shittier uconn team isn't a huge draw I know, but that was pitiful. I hope they really did boycott so that there's an excuse at least.

 

[JimHurley]

This game had everything going against it regarding student attendance. First off, it's midterm season. Tons of kids are studying, the library has been packed. Second, it's nickel night at campus bars. Hundreds and hundreds of kids flock to bars in groups to get 4 drinks for a buck from 8-9:30. Finally, it's just not always easy to get to Hartford for some students. Underclassmen don't have cars so if they can't get a bus pass, they're out of luck. Even some of the upperclassmen don't have cars and even if they do, not too many are willing to travel 30 minutes to Hartford.

 

[Robertelamin]

Please start shaming the students again.

Same thing here. I have a great TV and sound system. I thought something was wrong with my set. Barely heard any crowd. But to be honest, I find that at every game at the XL I turned the channel to the Temple/WS game and had to turn the volume down. Strange.

 

[FartMan69]

Well the university milks these kids for every last cent to fund an AD that features a dead football program and a dying basketball program all thanks to ineptitude at the top. Let them do whatever they want.

Might have some truth to it, but the BC game was great if you weren't there. Crowd was awesome.
