November games

[statefan]

I have a couple of questions regarding the Siena and UConn games:

 

UConn- I think I heard Jim Nantz say that it was scheduled for Thansgiving weekend. Does anyone know if there is a confirmed date? How far is Storrs from Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun?

 

Siena - I recall reading a post on the Siena board by MTS about the Albany - Siena game being part of a possible 8 team tournament to be sponsered by the MAAC, but that the tournament set-up was contingent on some proposed NCAA legislation allowing more exempt games. I assume there was an NCAA meeting of some sort at the Final Four. Does anyone have an update on the possibility of such a tournament? and does anyone know the probable date of the Albany - Siena game?

Storrs is about an hour away from Mohegan Sun, maybe 45-50 minutes-- add another 15-20 minutes for Foxwoods. Mohegan Sun is nicer, but doesn't have a poker room, for those bitten by the poker bug.

 

My mom lives in New London so if the game is during T'giving weekend, I love the sound of an Albany-UConnvict game and Mohegan Sun exacta.

"UConnvict?"

 

That's funny. I was laughing out loud and slapping my knees and laptop.

The fact that the MAAC is sponsoring it makes me skeptical but no matter. I thought I read somewhere that Brown said the schedule for 06-07 was mostly set and he didn't think we could fit the tourney in this year.
