UConn, Duke to play at the Meadowlands

[huskyharry]

Wow, 5 pages of thread and no one talking about the game itself?
Should be quite a challenge. Dook has the #1 recruiting class including the top PG and a wide-body center who has dominated against high school competition.
However, Cook, Matt Jones and Sulaiman return & Coach K has seldom given playing time to freshmen over upperclassmen ...so will Tyus Jones play a full-time or part-time role?
Okafor has very good footwork, but dominates at the High School level by often knocking his opponents out of the way...an experienced defender who knows how to draw charges and another big who recovers and blocks the shots that his teammates are guarding could cause him to struggle.
One this is certain, we are doomed, DOOMED for sure!

You do know who Okafor is playing for, right? Coach K is already calling the refs and crying about the fouls that may come his way. By time the season starts, Okafor will be able to smash the defender's nose, knock him down, kick him a few times and will still go to the line to shoot two.

Nassau Coliseum is gonna be lonely now with the Islanders moving to Barclays Center.

Wasn't there a massive bidding war the right to manage the Nassau Coliseum. Seem sports teams is not essential to the biz model.
