Was Saturday’s home game moved to 6 in the hope, probably futilely, that some fans would remain on campus after the football game ?

2.5 hours (assuming football ends at 3:30) is a long stretch to expect people to stick around between games.
I can't imagine there will be more than 1,000 (actual, real people in the stands) for this one.

If they are looking for attendance, and while I am pretty sure this wouldn't make much of a difference, everybody with a football game ticket can get into the basketball game for $5, and includes a hot dog and soda. Season ticket holders would receive a Holy Cross nutcracker for the Christmas season or some other small gift
As I said not sure it will make a difference but might get a few more people to stick around

Part of the logic could be parking. I imagine the upper lots will be pretty full for the football game. I am planning on the double header

My sources tell me that purple haze and crusader1970 will be taking in the DH on 12/3…hopefully a double W.

Not unless "lucky 1970 Reunion caps are worn!" I wore mine at the C-S basketball game and it did the trick! A win!

CCSU is 0-8 but has played a much tougher schedule than HC. Not a gimme, (not that there are any at this point), by any stretch of the imagination.

It's official. I wore my Reunion cap at the Harvard game. Apparently, the luck applies only to HC football and ladies soccer. Other sports, the "luck" depends on the play on the field/court. Or perhaps Nelson's team overcomes the luck that emanates from the cap - just not powerful enough to overcome total incompetence.

Massey makes HC a 3 point favorite over CCSU (and that for him is a virtual toss-up). He feels HC wins 69-66 with a 60% chance for the win (assuming Gates returns healthy.)

0-8 v. 0-6 Saturday night in Worcester. Buckle up.
CCSU's last non-conference win against a D1 team was...you guessed it...Holy Cross last year in New Britain.

No 0-6 teams are playing in Worcester on Saturday. If you mean HC, their record is 2-6. Count or don't count what you wish but please don't try to change the facts and state your personal belief as is it were true. Who is helped by that?

It is a matchup of teams winless at the D1 level, so its accurate in that respect. If it was billed as 0-8 v 2-6 a CCSU victory could appear to be an "upset"...I don't know if any losses suffered by this program can be deemed an upset these days

I wonder if Gates is playing on Sat night? Looking at CCSU's close games with Quinnipiac, Lafayette and Brown, I don't see us beating them without Gates.

Think about that.....356.
Can you imagine any coach keeping his job if, after 4 years, 98% of the college teams in the country are rated ahead of you.
That is really a tough concept to get your head around.

It's sad that the season largely feels lost and over after just six games, but here we are.
In trying to be interested in this game between two of the worst D1 teams in the country, I'm curious to see what Nelson's substitution patters look like. It's been incredibly inconsistent outside of the top seven guys (Gates, Dorsey, Batch, Bo, Kenny, Louth, Octave).
Does Nelson foresee any meaningful role for Tse, Wilbar, Lewis, Rabinovich, and Kirkwood beyond random spot minutes? Seems like it's seven guys playing 185 minutes and then it's anyone's guess who gets the other 15 minutes.

At least Kirkwood has the reasonable explanation of being an under-recruited freshman If we had some wins and showed promise of more, playing 7 would be acceptable.
Alas

CCSU should drop basketball if they can't beat this team.
