Will The Dunk have the best game and atmosphere in college basketball this year?

[UConnSwag11]

Let’s go, Nova!

 

[HuskyHawk]

Let's go Friars.

 

[Icehawk]

Sorry even though all of my family is from Philly (GO TEMPLE!) I ain't rooting for Nova and definitely not over PC - this year or any year.

Are you going to ask me to root for Duke next?

 

[UConnSwag11]

I can’t stand Nova dominating the Big East right now and I don’t want PC winning by playing less games. But we need Nova to win the conference and us to get the three seed in the BET. If that happens and we win our games, we won’t see them in the BET until the final.

 

[UCLJ0211]

Even though it pains me to say, I like and respect Jay Wright and his program. He also has a mutual respect about UConn. I gotta root for Nova in this one.

Pretty goofy, but I’m sure it’s fun for the students. Providence crowds have been great this year from what I’ve seen. Fun year to be a Friars fan, I’m sure.

I just want our second date with Providence. They beat us without Sanogo and Martin at 25% and their fans had the audacity to talk trash.

But I’ll be watching tonight partially because I find John Fanta very entertaining.

 

[Hurleyman216]

I expect PC to get run off their home court tonight….Sorry but KenPom numbers don’t lie and when your stats say you’re 40 spots worse than your national ranking in the polls, at some point that hot air balloon is gonna come back to earth. I still expect when it’s all said and done that UConn will have a higher seed in the NCAA tournament compared to PC

Why would people root for Nova when we're competing with them for all time Big East championships and Providence has basically no actual accomplishments in the last 40 years?

 

[Hoophound]

I like Ed Cooley and I have a lot of Rhode Island memories, as my mother's side of the family is from there. I can't help but pull for PC. Keep in mind, big games played and won by some of the smaller names in the conference is good for the health and long term viability of the Big East. Nationally, it is UConn, Villanova and everyone else. Having PC, St John's, Marquette and Seton Hall be pretty good year in and year out would really solidify the league as a must to be included in any potential breakup of the NCAA.

Also, PC is killing it with the Taylor Swift thing. My wife and daughter were sitting in the room while I had their game on TV the other day and they thought it looked "so fun". UConn really needs to figure out the game experience thing quick.

 

[Kathy]

I gotta go for PC - sick of Nova at the top.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

In a game like this, I gotta go root for the home team.

 

[gtcam]

I think Nova silences the Dunk tonight.
As much as I would like to see someone except Nova win the NBE title, I can't bring myself to see it being PC.

 

[CheshireCat]

Cheshire, CT native - pretty new member here. I live on the upper east side of Providence now, and it's a little like being a Yankees fan living in the Boston area as I've done that too! Guess I'm a glutton for punishment. I will say the buzz around the city for this one is pretty awesome and great national buzz for the conference. The force is strong here, but I will not be pulled over the the darkside! A lot of great takes in this forum, but man it's tough being the new kid on the block! I was a bit critical of coach coming out of the gate when I first posted a couple times (a couple of which were removed) and I've had to bite my tongue!! Will the Big East get 7??!!

Providence crowds have looked electric on TV. That being said, that video is criiiiiiiiiiinge

 

[UconnU]

Word is Griffiths and Bowen are going to be at this game. Griffiths gets to compare this atmosphere to XL center v Butler. SMH

I'm sure that is the only and last time Griffiths will be at a UConn game

 

[August_West]

That's a bold prediction.

There would have to be a collapse on one side and a table running on the other for that to happen.

I would like to see it.

 

[Deepster]

All I care about it Seton Hall on Wednesday night. As for Nova/PC? I hope an earthquake creates a huge chasm at midcourt and both teams fall down into the center of the earth.

Is pc still posting The Godfather post?

word is they get to compare the banners hanging from the rafters too.

 

[ClifSpliffy]

normally, i cheer for pc over any other squad in the land, but for us. kinda like my 'pats always, but for playing the gmen' thing. can't tonite, cuz of the strategic possibility in the standings still available to us, albeit a stretch.
they should call that place 'the drunk,' cuz of the likelihood of getting clocked by a beer bottle when visiting downtown Providence.

and, as to upping our home gameday tuneage, i still vote for this.


see kids? this is what ur brain can morph into after a life filled with clam fritters and haffenreffers. stay in school, don't do drugs, and never spend ur time trying to figger out dopey beer cap puzzles.
