As much as I love MSG, I can't see playing 4 games there in one season. If this happens I'd like to see the home and home start at Gampel.

Oh boy, who will @Whtdmd root for?!?

 

[BuffaloHusky]

It's completely ok to play this game at MSG every year if the Garden gives preferred treatment to UConn season tickets every other year. UConn needs the prescence in the Tri-State area especially with Danny Hurley at the helm and if we could get 3 to 4 games a year at MSG or Brooklyn, it would be huge benefit to the program.

St. Johns. I think that's been established.

Playing 4 games a year in MSG is nothing but a good thing for recruits, players and Fairfield county/NYC alum

 

[gampelcrazies]

No way this starts at MSG

No way this starts at MSG

At Gample? That’d be crazy.

 

[gampelcrazies]

At Gample? That’d be crazy.

Or XL. UConn needs home games

I thought there was some speculation that they were the ones that blew the whistle on us, which resulted in the NCAA investigation? If it's true they will be added to next year's schedule, I guess that isn't how the NCAA query came about.

 

[gwhuskyfan]

We need home games next year. We already play 3 at MSG. As much as I love going to MSG, no way you start the series there next year

No, that was us.

 

[intlzncster]

I'd sign up for MSG every year. I want as many as possible in that building. Only helps us.

 

[HawkHusky]

Was the Cuse series not renewed?

 

[MattMang23]

This fan base has gone from, in 2013, worrying about not having enough MSG games without regular St. John's and BET games to now, in 2018, worrying we may have too many...

I don’t think it was ever a series with Cuse. But we will have played in Coaches v Cancer 3 straight years.

 

[Wordbomar]

If it’s not at MSG I hope it’s at Gampel, been a couple years since we’ve played a major conference OOC game there

It says something when a St. John's game at Gampel would be considered a major home game.

 

[StepbackCity]

If it’s not at MSG I hope it’s at Gampel, been a couple years since we’ve played a major conference OOC game there

And I don't think more than 12,000 would come to see St. Johns

Would you rather play St. Johns or Vermont? You know what I’m saying. Stop trying to make it fit your agenda.

MSG please. Barclays is just far enough away to be too far especially if its a 9 pm start or a weekday.

 

[jibsey]

A "neutral" home game for St.Johns in MSG I can live with because there's a lot of hype and coverage that is good for us. In fact, as many games as possible there helps offset our crappy away AAC venues.

No agenda here, just commenting that if we're considering St. John's a "Major home OOC game" then that says something. I absolutely would rather play St. John's than Columbia, Vermont, Stony Brook, or any of the other cupcakes we fill November and December's home schedule with.

 

[UconnU]

Love it. Is asking to also play in St. John's conference too much to ask for?
