UConn has already agreed to a home and home arrangement with SDSU basketball - according to Jim Sterk

I'm surprised they would want to play us at this low of an elevation.. I'm guessing they're just getting us primed for a neutral site game on Mt. Everest in the near future

SDSU is only joining the Big East for football.

When does this start? Next season?

That would be my guess. We'll probably play them the same week as the Carrier Classic.

 

[husky99]

Good call...

According to Kyle Muncy, nothing is finalized yet:

"UConnBasketball v SDSU: No contract, no dates, no details. It has not progressed beyond initial conversations, but certainly will soon."

Let the high altitude training commence immediately in case this comes to pass.

I don't mind this. Their fans were annoying, but they've got a solid coach and a great location. And any road game in OOC is a good road game.

Their fans were pathetic. They still call kemba a cheater because he fell when their idiot freshman shouldered him on the way to the bench during a TO. That turned the game for us right there, so I thank that dolt for his stupidity and kemba for being braver, stronger, and smarter than Chuck Norris.

While I am just a day or so out from bitching about how bad Quse fans are I might as well throw in that SDSU fans seemed to be constantly stoned and had almost no basketball knowledge whatsoever. They were universally awful. To their credit most seemed like they were 17 years old and stoned (at least I hope they were stoned- if not they were just plain stupid).​

SanDiego another great place to visit

Hearing from one of the uconn reporters this is not a done deal

Sweet! I live two miles from SDSU campus

And it is a great place to visit, and we do next year in the Aircraft Carrier Classic vs Arizona.

besides the were already there so its a extra game making the trip more useful, i don't see the good in this. if were going to play at sdsu then 2 days later vs az on a boat, thats fine and it makes sense. if thats not the case, then its stupid. if were looking for a midmajor to play a home and home with thats stupid, we play h-h with big boys. were not bcu.

Playing AZ and SDSU on one road trip would be insane. Much better to make separate trips.

That would be great and I certainly hope it happens. SDSU basketball has gotten progressively better under Steve Fisher; and I live 8 miles from the SDSU campus. I have not seen a Uconn game live since they played Pepperdine a few years ago.

 

[frosh360]

kind of off topic question, but since the carrier classic was brought up here, will that be on the same ship and in the same location as the one this year?

Why?

 

[zls44]

Why?

Play two road games against Top 50 teams within (presumably) 48 hours of one another to start the year?

 

[frosh360]

i'm sure they'd have alot of cupcakes thrown in there before and after to even it out. I like the idea, Duke's doing it this year with all the roadtrips.

 

[MTHusky]

I guess we should never play in Hawaii again or any other early season tournament according to this logic.
