UConn playing St. Bonaventure?

[Hey Adrien!]

FWIW, Saint Bonaventure has released their OOC schedule:

2021-22 St. Bonaventure Men's Basketball Schedule

2021-22 St. Bonaventure Men's Basketball Schedule

gobonnies.sbu.edu

No UConn so far, but there is an 9 day gap between their 12/8 and 12/17 game.

UConn's last game that we know of is also 12/8 (West Virginia), that also matches up well to our schedule.

That's their final exam period. Doesn't seem like we're playing this year.

The casual fan doesnt realize how good St B is so this is a high risk low reward matchup from a perception standpoint. I’d rather play a middle of the pack P5 then a really good midmajor unless it’s Gonzaga

I am not worried about the perception of the casual fan. I am more worried about building an NCAA resume which winning this game does and losing it doesn't kill you.

Beware the "plummer."

Is/was supposed to be played on 12/11 (Saturday). Still being worked on.

Probably more workable than if he'd worn the sneakers of St. Bonnie's legend Bob Lanier:

I just read on the women's board that this game is going to be played on December 11th as part of a men's-women's doubleheader at the Prudential Center.

It appears so. Women are going to be playing in it too.

Confirming that the women are playing in a men's-womens doubleheader. That a Chief-level confirmation right there.

You realize that it it isn't a just UConn men's/woman's doubleheader, it is a tournament that both men the men's team and the women's team is playing in, right?

Lol at how hard you try here.

Interesting selections of players to use in that graphic. I would not have though of Nelson-Ododa or Sanogo as the top choices on either team. Was Paige too expensive with NIL now?

you realize that it's two basketball games, one with UConn men and one with UConn women, and not a "tournament" in any traditional sense, right?

I actually went to post this earlier today but then figured either there was some joke in there that escaped me or I was just going to let him twist in the wind and look foolish on his own merit.

Well now, sure.

With you, they're all gimmes.

Uh, it doesn’t seem like that. It seems like it matters to you a lot, which is kind of sad when you think about it.

So thus far, the UConn WBB have announced OOC home games against ND, Tennessee and Arkansas.

The UConn MBB have announced OOC home games against CCSU.

Who has the higher seat donations and ticket prices?

There’s work to be done Mr Benedict and Hurley. No more platitudes about UConn Nation fans. Get the home schedule work done that someone can be proud of! Actions speak louder than words.

Of course, Chief will be there and supports this tournament, which will help NJ/Philly/NY recruiting. Nevertheless, we need to close the deal and announce some meaningful OOC MBB home games.

Does it say anything about Vaccination requirement for this game ?

Ticketmaster shows if there is or is not a policy for an event when you buy a ticket and at this time does not show any such policy for this event, doesn't mean it wont change though.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

The A-10 released its preseason rankings and St. Bonaventure is the unanimous top team in the A-10.



Great matchup for us. We'll see a lot of four (big) guard and one big matchups.

I trust Dan Hurley, but I really hope that he learned from letting St. John’s dictate his personnel decisions in last season’s matchup. If Sanogo is as dominant as Danny expects this season, the team needs to impose its will on four guard lineups.
