Excellent!

Saturday November 15, just as I had heard. Doubt they'd do it on a Friday night (November 14).

Possible match up vs BYU

Skip Barclays: not a great arena, horrible to get to. If playing in NYC then play at the Garden Could be cool to dominate every arena in NY!

They're probably just waiting for the broadcast partner to tell them whether they want it Friday night or Saturday.

This is fantastic. I will definitely try to get tickets to this. Wonderful to see UConn embracing Boston and not just New York

Storrs north?

Much prefer playing big programs in NBA arenas in our footprint as opposed to playing in hotel ballrooms at 1pm or 1am on a weekday.

Storrs north?

Storrs was always closer to Boston than NYC. I remember driving to Sturbridge because CT package stores were closed.

Haha our packy runs, were always to Rhode Island.

My initial reaction to the TD Garden game was somewhat of "meh" with the thought that I'd rather be playing the game on campus. But you make a good point that playing in Boston, consistently, expands the brand.

UConn plays a Top 10 team in the Gahden. BCU gets to play an exhibition game at Mohegan against UConn. Fair trade.

They should have BC do a shirts & skins scrimmage as the halftime show

I am seeing a lot more UConn swag in metro Boston lately. UMass in state is still expensive and is further from Boston. Boston area schools are expensive. Seems a lot of kids in the Boston suburbs are considering UConn.

Especially when Texas and Arizona are already locked into the home slate.

Ha, Vista Market in Vista NY was a Sunday ritual for us in FFld county.

Depends on where you lived in Fairfield county. It was always Port Chester for those in Stamford, Greenwich & Darien.

Or at least have one of the players do a handstand and shoot an arrow with their feet.

Why? UConn out of state is very expensive too. Geez, UConn is very expensive in state.

Not sure, but there is a program where kids from other New England states pay less if they major in something their state school doesn't have. All I know is that I see UConn logos and car stickers all the time now and I didn't 20 years ago. UConn out of state is still just over half of BU/BC/Northeastern etc.

 

[HooperScooper]

BYU fans like the idea of playing UConn.

I like it

Much better than Maui
