UConn to play BC in Exhibition

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

Well, US International University no longer exists as USIU.

 

[Palatine]

Rather see the in Boston Garden.

Probably a charity event

Because proceeds will be paid to a charity? Or was it that Hurley felt sorry for the handful of Boston College fans and decided to let them see what basketball actually looks like?

 

[Stew Crew]

I wonder what the revenue allocation will be for this event. 50-50 seems like a windfall for BC.

Wasn’t last year’s game against URI at Mohegan a charity game?

Wasn’t last year’s game against URI at Mohegan a charity game?

Yes, if I recall correctly. I think that there was a rule change, which now allows exhibition games that do not need to be specially approved charity games.

Plus keeping a good relationship with BC is important for football.

If it's not a charity event then hopefully it gets us a game against BC for one of our schedule open dates

I guess Merrimack College wasn't available so UConn went for the next best available team.

What, MIT doesn't play basketball?

 

[David54]

Hmmmm wasn’t BC instrumental in keeping us out of the ACC ? Maybe they’ll be kinder next time. Good move Danny.

 

[80shusky]

A good opportunity for the freshmen to get some run!

 

[NowInStorrs]

Glad it's an exhibition so it won't bring down our SOS

Good relationship with BC? Have you all forgotten how evil they are and the damage they inflicted on UConn. UConn would have been well established and successful in a power conference if it wasn't for them. Screw them too!

These games can now be revenue generating games which will help both UConn and BC. And UConn plays BC in football in 4 of the next 7 seasons.

With daughter and son in law BC grads wife and I UConn grads one twin grandson talking UConn for college the other BC we are planning a family trip. Can’t wait

Troy Bell or Dana Barros walking through that door? Otherwise good luck to BC!

 

[BugsyCT]

I never before wanted to win an exhibition game so badly.

 

[Scot-e]

I thought the thread title was a joke at first. I can’t decide whether I hate this or want us to beat them senseless.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

I can’t decide whether I hate this or want us to beat them senseless.

Why can't it be both?

 

[gtcam]

Next season we should do a split squad vs Cuse and BC.....................

Let it be Dana Barros and we could have Lyman DePriest walk in as well. Would be like a spaghetti western of silence.

 

[Lafayette]

Why throw them a bone? Disappointed.

Cheaper than Maui?
