I don't recall the UVA matchup being posted anywhere else before. Should be a good test for us

Nice that they got UVA to come north.

I kind of like these. Yes, for fans, we'd prefer to see them in games that count, but it's a good way for the coaches to test their guys and see where you're at without having to worry about the standings.

I wish they would do these for charity like when we played Providence at Mohegan Sun. Even if this is just a glorified practice with 20 minutes of "actual" 5-on-5 stuff, it'd still be fun to watch. I'd pay $20 to go

Yeah I think the rules mostly prevent it. You either do a public exhibition against non-D1 or you do a closed scrimmage. NCAA made exceptions for Hurricane relief that year (which I guess they could do again considering but haven't heard any calls for it).

But I agree with your general point that it would be a good rule change.

The NCAA is at least considering stuff like this, one of the rule changes coming up for vote is 2-3 exhibition games over the summer that would be open to fans

Several charity scrimmages are scheduled per the article including Fairfield at Rutgers.

Can't wait for Oct 22nd

If we win it’s because we’re awesome. If we lose it’s just a scrimmage with wacky rules and is really just a practice.

I’m hoping for a regular season matchup between UConn and UVA. C’Ville is only 45 minutes away. Going to DC for the Georgetown games is such a pain in the ass.

 

[Waquoit]

I like these. That way we don't have to pay for those exhibition games anymore.

Given our lack of guard play currently and the way UVA defends, O/U on that scrimmage is like 80 total points between the two squads and I'm grateful it will not be on video. That will be the rockiest of all rock fights.

You could not pay me enough money to watch that game.

if it is two 20 minute halves and like a real game I will wager 25 k on the over at 80, If someone wants to bet the under I have the cash . If it goes under there will be an investigation by Scully and Mulder.

Any chance we get a stream for this game

No chance, likely some stats will get leaked but that's it. Can't have a stream or fans for a secret scrimmage otherwise it would be an exhibition

Who remembered to pay the MIT guys with beer to sneak into the Harvard gym, deploy the web cams, and get out undetected?

 

[NJHoops]

Nice for the guys to get a mini-road trip (went to Boston last night) and have a chance to play against a team that is not them. Another signifier that the season is getting closer!

 

[Scrutiner]

Contact Chief about that.........

 

[QuickDraw]

I would like to be a fly on the wall today, here's to hopin for multiple leak sources for a bigger picture of what we may have this season. looking forward to a few reports

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

The initial reports I’m hearing are #concerning to say the least.

Where is the nearest bridge?

Where is the nearest bridge?

I look for trees after a round of golf

 

[Nebraskan18]
