When UConn Beats Syracuse on Saturday...

[HuskyBaggins]

Can I just start a mantra ?

Fans of the Defending National Champions do not storm courts following regular season home wins over conference rivals.

Maybe an announcement should be made at the game!

If this is something we're debating Saturday around 11 p.m. we'll all be very happy.

I agree with that. But good luck talking students into that at the game.

DOOOOOOOOOOOMMEDDDDDD!!!!

I agree that we should not storm the court as well.

HOWEVER, if its an emotional/close win, the place will be rocking.... I don't see people NOT rushing.

Since 3/4 of the student body has experienced a National Title and 1/4 has experienced that and a final 4 I would hope that we are smart enough not to storm and give Syracuse that much respect.

If we win and the students want to storm the court- why not? I know it is cheezy but I can only hope the top of our list of problems on Sat have is - "we stormed the court after beating Quse".

DOOOMED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[UofCT]

Well we stormed after we beat Texas and then we had the ultimate let down game at Providence.

Having said that, if history repeats itself we will be Cuse and then lose to Providence on the road.

I agree we should not storm the court if we win. Kevin Duffy tweeted yesterday that he thinks the students have to rush which I found surprising. We are the defending champions like you said and therefore we should not be rushing no matter how emotional a win is.

Would deadrody approve of this?

I was front row for the Texas game and didn't really think we should storm the court. Having said that, the place was rocking so much that it seemed like stopping the students from storming would be impossible. So in the end, I was the first one on the court followed closely by the rest of my group that hurdled the table all the scouts were sitting at.

My feelings for the Cuse game are the same. We are UConn, we just won a National Title, we shouldn't be storming the court on anyone. However, as a student who will be waiting outside Gampel for somewhere in the area of 60 hours for the game, if we get that W emotions will probably tell me "screw it, we're storming." In the end, storming the court isn't something that needs to make sense. It's an emotional decision made when the time comes.

I think it's ok, based on a few of factors......we are reeling, we are unranked, and this punches our ticket for the big dance. The fact that we are defending national champs is an interesting dynamic. (I'm sure all of the joker hacks like doyle will hammer the fans after the game but who cares)

Listen, it's not like a couple of years ago when #1 uconn lost @ #2 nova and they stormed the court. That was embarrassing.

 

[TexanMark]

Don't worry it won't be an issue on Saturday.

 

[mets1090]

Who the duck cares what clowns in the media will say about our fans. If it's embarrassing to be passionate and really pumped about a big win during a tough year, then so be it.

Lol valid point. And I'm on the record saying that we really shouldn't storm the court. I just also think that when you get in that moment, it's hard to deny the emotions that go along with it.

 

[UCDaveD]

Why shouldn't we storm? I can think of 3 big reasons.

vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

If there is a court storming I will immediately cancel my yearly $5 donation to the University. I don't think a whole group of young people who lack the intelligence to refrain from storming the court the season following a national championship deserve even that fraction of a penny's worth of help that my lucrative donation would bring to better the University. I'll also be at the game, so I'll throw things at the students if they decide to storm, too.

Good luck convincing a bunch of students/young spectators who have been drinking all day for a 9pm game not to storm the court against our biggest bball rival at home on College Game Day.

 

[Scot-e]

I will trade a W for a court storming right now. Anyone else in?

Yes. If the crowd can will the team to victory, they can do what they want after the game and I'll be fine with it.

Oh, puhleeze- stop with all the sanctimony. Why not just tell 'em to stay off your lawn while you're at it!
This could very well be the LAST time we play you guys, at least until u get the ACC invite(maybe?).
JC isn't there. Last time for JB (maybe?) in your house. No postseason (maybe?) next year.
Guaranteed ticket to the Dance & beating the #2 ranked team, AND your biggest BE rival?
Honestly, who cares what you did last year- that all happened LAST YEAR! If the kids storm the court its because they're having fun, & its something they can talk about forever. Let 'em rush the court, it'd be dumb for them not to.
Btw- I don't see this as an issue come 11pm saturday, especially after you lose, but it'd be a nice problem to have.

Lets win first before we worry about storming
