I guess we'll have to wait at least until Sunday or Monday for Geno to have tell a media member(s) how the scrimmage went, and who impressed the most.

It's a D-1 team, a D-2 team would be considered an exhibition game just like Kutztown.
Yes I’m sure it’s a D1 team since there would be nothing to be gained in scrimmaging a D2/D3 school.

However there is nothing in the NCAA bylaws to prevent a D1 team from scrimmaging a D2/D3 team. There is no requirement to call it an exhibition and treat it as such.

While we are all on pins and needles to know who UConn WBB scrimmaged today, it appears that UConn MBB has a scrimmage tomorrow vs Harvard per Jeff Goodman. It has also been rumored for several weeks that SC WBB and UNC WBB had scheduled a scrimmage for today.

It appears Goodman had the right team but the wrong date. 2 weeks ago he had UConn MBB scrimmaging Harvard on the 22nd & UVA on the 29th. This past week he dropped the UVA game and changed Harvard to the 23rd on his “Stadium Basketball Insider” site.

Ines might not have ever played on an American regulation BB court before.

NCAA allows it as long as all proceeds go to a charity.

Kind of. First of all, it is only allowed if a request to the NCAA is approved. And secondly it cannot be a general fundraiser for a mainstream charity. Rather it is only allowed if it is in response to a catastrophic event.

I knew most of that. Just gave a shorthand answer. Wasn’t aware of the catastrophic event requirement though.

Yes - I looked up the info when I was doing my Power 5 team schedule worksheets and noticed the odd exhibition. Of interest, it is reportedly being televised on the Longhorn Network, which would be cool, an early taste of WBB.

I suppose Sonya Morris will be locked in
Don't know if this was ever mentioned/suggested regarding her transfer to Texas from DePaul. IMO, Morris didn't appreciate being the "second fiddle" to upstart Freshman Aneesah Morrow.

So she moves to 4th fiddle? Just guessing since I really do not know their roster well but TX is Harmon's team. Must be quite a culture shock going to an intense defensive atmosphere from Defenseless DePaul.

Defenseless DePaul??? The Blue Demons have a clear defensive strategy. After the other team scores, inbound the ball and get a shot up as quickly as possible, over and over again, until the opposing team is exhausted from scoring so much….:rolleyes:

Like so many others, I’ve been waiting all day for news on Saturday’s super secret scrimmage. All I’m hearing so far are............crickets. So we wait. Maybe tomorrow? :(

A few more days, and it won’t be news, it will be history. We would have some “fresh” fodder to discuss if they shared the details of the scrimmage with their most loyal and ardent fans.
