Tulane Tonight

[Chin Diesel]

Please, please, please let's not see four years in a row starting off with a conference play loss.

Sounds like the team has spent a few days in New Orleans. The Courant article mentioned Hamilton and SCJ watching the Pels/Clippers game on NYE.

Hopefully the team hasn't been loading up on beignets, Muffelattas or fine French cuisine. Po Boys are acceptable.

Tulane's arena only holds about 3,500 people and the crowd shouldn't be an issue.

Like everyone else I'm looking for a refinement in the rotation, seeing how UConn matches Tulane's size and 40 minutes of consistent hoops.

That gym is nice but tiny. At least they sell craft beer.

 

[MexicoHusky]

I'd like to see us take the game seriously. We have some history of not doing so.

 

[Jay-Bone]

With Cincy, Utah and UCLA all losing, the top 25 is ours for the taking.

Big game, bigger than we think of it. This is the kind of game which will tell us if they get it or not. Come out fighting scrapping, not cutting the mustard and showing they know they need to play 110% for 40 minutes against each and every opponent - that's what I want to see. Lunch pail, defense, rebounding and passing the ball around for good looks. Play them like they're SMU or UNC, come out with passion and focus. Hit'em all first.

Is anyone periscoping the game tonight?

And should be a better weather environment than the football game this year.

I picked up tickets off the Tulane website 3 rows up from the UConn bench for $25 apiece.

That's how I know about the gym. We went to the Volleyball game the next day (UConn won). I figured if we went to the game, we wouldn't start drinking until afterwards. Wrong.

I know its Tulane, but I can't believe the conference opener isn't on TV. SNY is instead showing the NORTHWESTERN Huskies!?!

It's on CBSSN. Same with about 7 other conference games including Tuesday vs Temple.

 

[uconn_jack]

Ah, you're right, thanks! Last time I trust the UConn Huskies website, its showing it as not televised.

Spending NYE in NOLA, beignets are the least of my concerns. A young man can happily lose both his soul and sense of direction in life....in less than 3 hours.

Its not called the "Big Easy" for nothing

If you see Mickey Rourke, run.

Still hard to believe that Tulane is a conference game. Bottom line is we should handle them by double digits and the line is Tulane +10.5. I really want to see UConn finally win the AAC regular season. We are more than capable of doing that.

Why lately do I feel more confident playing top tier teams that bottom feeders, especially on the road?

Because it's easier for their 800 fans to heckle our players in the high school AAC gyms we play in..

My kid and his friend are going to be behind the Uconn bench. We will win big!
