Message: [QUOTE="Vuce, post: 3582699, member: 89"] How and why would UConn hoops programs see hockey as a threat? Hockey is a niche regional sport. UConn hockey hasn’t done anything and have not even had one “magical season” where even casual fans jumped on board complete with a great post season run. Both UConn hoops programs are monsters. National brands. The women’s team is the best ever and the men’s team is clearly on its way back to regular Top 25 status. I don’t believe for one second that either Hurley or Geno see hockey as a threat and would laugh at the assertion. Yeah maybe one day UConn hockey will finish in the Top 3 of Hockey East let alone win the league. When Minnesota State, Bemidji State and Minnesota Duluth are top 25 schools in hockey, I don’t think you are going to get mass appeal from UConn fans. Ludicrous. [/QUOTE]
