Bill Herrion said in a Zoom call tonight one of UNH’s road games is at HC.

Does 1 ticket get you into all 4 games?

Could be two sessions, afternoon and evening, with two separate admissions.

Miami seems like an odd matchup for Fordham. Not exactly a name program that will bring out the casual fan, nor is it a local one like a St. John's, Seton Hall, or Rutgers that would generate a liitle interest in the NYC area.

Miami does have many NYC metro area alums.

Sounds like one where the Fordham and Iona games are part of an afternoon session and the other games are an evening session. Might be smarter to combine the Iona game with one of the P5 games and the Fordham game with the other but I don’t think that’s usually how it works.

"I pity the fool" -Mr. T.
I feel a little sympathy for Yale, especially if they scheduled this pre-Pitino.

Unless Yale's roster's depleted due to graduating/no season last year, they'll hold their own.

Any chance that PC or BC is on the sked next year?

BC less likely w/a new coach unless someone on his staff has a relationship w/someone at HC. He doesn't appear to.

If not for Big Al Skinner and Derek Whittenburg, there probably would not have been a discontinuation of either the BC or Fordham series.

I heard it was (in both cases) because HC had a bunch of hooligan roughnecks who only wanted to hurt opponents who were too soft to deal with it.  |

We played BC after Al left, 2 or 3 times (remember a loss at Conte and a win at DCU; perhaps there was another Conte game). All 2 (or 3) were in the Steve Donahue regime. Christian didn't play us.

Why does it seem that other schools will have their schedules set and released before we hear anything from HC? IMHO, the ooc opponents on our schedule this coming season will tell us a lot about the expectations that the coaches have for this team. Will we see mostly tough opponents or more patsies to pad the early season record?

Do not understand HC not playing BC, Fordham & Providence almost every season and Georgetown occasionally. These games should be scheduled long term regardless of the short term ups & downs of the various programs. These are natural rivals in b-ball.
The HC game was always a big game at the Rose Hill Gym. There have been many memorable games with Providence. BC? Remember attending a game at Roberts Gym with RGS. Didn't he have press credentials? The BC crowd was nasty. It was not amusing. It was a great rivalry game.
Want to improve attendance? It's a no-brainer. Many of the students in these schools know each other. These games should attract students from these schools. Set up buses. .Possibly, if Coach Nelson improves the quality of play with more hard nosed players who can hoop these schools will once again return to play against HC. Or, as in Coach Willard's day they might want to avoid us altogether 'cause we're too good. HA!!!

Sadly, almost all of our natural rivals went away when the decision was made to deemphasize our hoops program. Even in the once in a blue moon year we play one of them, the intensity of the old days isn’t there. It is what it is. |

It takes them to agree to play, HC wanting to play, and HC has zero scheduling clout against any of them. |

It takes them to agree to play, HC wanting to play, and HC has zero scheduling clout against any of them. ACTP Of course it takes two to tango. Nothing I wrote applied exclusively to HC. These are natural rivalries not merely for HC but for the other schools, too, for the reasons I mentioned. HC was a big game at FU for their fans and there is a crossover appeal for students of both schools. Providence & BC have a New England connection as well as student crossover which would make these games attractive to both schools. G-Town is more of a reach. Now, just for fun let me turn this back on you. What did these schools say (Do schools talk?) when you checked with them?.Most certainly you checked with their administrators, coaches , students, alums and their fandom. Guess they said to you "HC has zero scheduling clout"(?) Just havin' fun. Let's hope these games will be regularly scheduled in the future. Let me add. Obviously, it's a given that I do not know, do not have any inside info but was merely speculating as we do on this board. Peace. |

FU not playing us is mystifying. The others are at a level where we are one of a hundred teams they could play in a guarantee game. Really doesn’t matter much to them whether it’s HC or any other PL school or any school from the NEC, MAAC, Ivy, etc. Sad, but true.

HC also doesn’t get invited to name tourneys nearly as much as they used to.
