OT: First Place CCSU

[gwhuskyfan]

CCSU in first and has a huge match up tonight against Sacred Heart. Pat Sellers joined me to talk about the successful season so far and more

As a UConn Husky fan it's difficult to be jealous of any other schools or any other thing in college basketball when UConn is a blue blood or top tier elite program along the likes of Duke, UNC, Kentucky, and Kansas. UConn winning it all is the #1 thing I root for.

Having said all of that, I do pull for other Connecticut schools to make the NCAAT and hope to see it, without any of them playing against each other. I do get envious of other states in terms of them being able to send multiple schools to the NCAAT.

In addition, Quinnipiac is running away with the MAAC and Yale is tied for the Ivy League lead. There is a decent possibility for 4 CT schools in the NCAAs. Of course, nothing matters except the conference tournament for the non-UConn schools.

I remember rooting hard for them in a 2-15 game against Iowa State. Nearly pulled it off

The chances the committee brilliantly matches one of them up with UConn in the first round is probably close to 100%.

I saw bracket yesterday (fox, I think), that has CCSU as UConn's 1/16 opponent. Duke in the same region. A double-dose of Blue Devils.

Yale with a big home game against Cornell this weekend (the team they are tied with for the league lead).

I really like this Yale team and think if they make the tournament they can win a game or 2.

Well last year we had to beat all the Gaels in the tourney on our way to winning the whole thing.

I don’t think committee would do that. Kind of rude. I think ccsu would get shipped to play in game and go oposite Purdue. QPec and Yale would be 14 and higher seeds . QPEC 14 and Yale 13/14

Hard-hittin’ baby!! remember that game well -Marcus Fizer and Jamaal Tinsley were on that Iowa State team.

I'd love this. But they will probably have to beat a SWAC or MEAC team in Dayton first

 

[willie99]

Maybe they get to take out Purdue this year

 

[Hey Adrien!]

I'll be at the Cornell/Yale game. Both teams are undefeated in Ivy play...can't wait for that one!

Very possible to be true, unless the two teams in the SWAC and MEAC are objectively worse teams than whoever makes it out of the NEC.

I think its an unwritten rule that they never matchup the two HBCU conferences in the First Four

Quinnipiac is a 15 or 16

That team was legit. Rick Mickens, Corsley Edwards, and John Tice.

Tice was one tough dude.

 

[karstenkibbe]

Really happy for Pat Sellers. He deserves some success. Not looking to debate the issue, but I do feel like his reputation was sullied when the infractions occurred during his time at UConn. Paid his dues.

That would piss me off so much. I don't want to see any of the Connecticut teams play against each other.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

I was watching them vs Merrimack on Saturday after our game was over. Got totally hosed by a missed goaltend that would have sent the game to OT

Payne Whitney is a great place to see a game (or at least it used to be).

Still is

I think CT had 5 or 6 schools make the tournament one year, think it was UConn, U Hartford, Fairfield and I don't remember the others, but it interesting to see so many state schools make it

How’s Richie doing?

Hartford only made one D1 tournament and it was in 2021 when we were the only other CT school

 

[WrenchFan69]

Some friends and I are going to the game tonight. CT v CT matchup for first place in the NEC. Should be a good time
