UCONN should be playing in Queens next season. Be nice to return the favor. The clowns at the Big East won't allow it, though.

I read the weak and ineffective excuse for us playing at Gampel, something to the effect of the XL Center being in poor condition.

I reject that silly notion. The reality is Gampel holds thousands of fewer fans. Guess what? So does Carnesecca... And what is good for the goose, is for the gander.

I want UCONN in Queens, so we have a true home court advantage...

Not my idea, btw, it's Rick's.

ehh... as "fun" as that would be to stick it to Hurley... Beating them at MSG is soooo much better.

Nothing would be more weak for us than to move the game to Queens because we want to enhance our home court advantage. Bad for the brand we're building, and bad for fans.

Embrace playing them at MSG. Why should we even think it won't be a true homecourt advantage anymore? I am fully expecting a 85/15 split next year.

exactly.

gone are the days of trying to get a "homecourt" advantage on campus. The Garden rocking with 17k+ is the only homecourt advantage we need. This train won't stop rolling, this run were having is only going to translate into more NIL next year. With Matt A/Repole/NIL putting the kids on a hook, and Pitino and his proven success reeling them in, this isn't a one hit wonder, this will be sustained success.

The Vice doc also shows how motivating playing at MSG is. Talking about making it to Broadway, selling out MSG, etc. You don't get that playing on campus.

Hopefully in 1-2 years, we're playing no Big East games at Carnesseca and its limited to just Fordham/Hofstra & other local games.

Remember there was a time recently when some on here argued we should move most of our games to UBS arena? Boy how times have changed fast.

Go to Queens to tell Rick that yourself. Again, it's Rick's idea, not mine.

Pitino later admitted he was just breaking chops w Hurley. The MSG turnout renaissance is all you have to look at. Think big, your President, HC and AD are.

Well, there you go. Serves me right for believing it. I'm a full season ticket holder so it doesn't matter where they play the game, I'll be there.

Sticking it to Hurley and UCONN fans would have been amazing , though.
