Who are we playing in the BPG next year

[B9j2j6s]

I have a feeling after the BU game this season Wolff will probably want to avoid the BPG next year, and I know UNH is sick of playing us when we have the BPG. So are there any rumors gong around about who we would be playing? I would like to see Binghamton just for a little building of that rivilary; or have us face what will probably be the other two top teams in the AE next year UVM, or Maine.

New Hamphshire (men) have only played the BPG twice:

Jan. 29, 1998 New Haven 87-79, W 2,327

Feb. 6, 1999 Sacred Heart 70-55, W 2,635

Feb. 5, 2000 Stony Brook 67-53, W 4,017

Feb. 3, 2001 Army 88-86, W (2OT) 3,006

Feb. 10, 2002 Vermont 61-45, W 2,712

Feb. 8, 2003 Maine 82-71, L 3,961

Feb. 7, 2004 New Hampshire 60-54, L 3,721

Feb. 5, 2005 New Hampshire 81-68, W 4,091

Feb. 4, 2006 Boston U. 71-60, W 4,538 (capacity)

 

so we haven't yet played Hartford (probable win), UMBC (same) or Bing. A Bing game probably will be near capacity anyway, so I think for the BPG you want an opponent who normally wouldn't be a big draw.

It is all about where the scheduling falls. I believe Albany always hosts the BPG on the first Saturday of February, regardless of the AE conference opponent. Playing Binghamton this time around would be sweet though.
