Yikes!! UCONN has begun to release their OOC schedule, and AE
schools UMASS-Lowell, UNH and Maine are all on it!! I find that
somewhat disconcerting, don't you? With Coach P's connections
at UCONN wouldn't you think that SBU be the first choice for AE
competition?

Are you freaking kidding me man???????Something smells rotten. I
dont want to hear Uconn turned us down because we are too good
and because we played them once before. Thats BS!!!

Do you really think UConn is hesitant to play Stony Brook
because Stony Brook is good? Kevin Ollie considers Pikiell a
friend and a colleague and wouldn't gain any satisfaction by
beating SBU. UConn doesn't play Quinnipiac and a number of
other schools coached by UConn grads.

No, of course not. But that is the answer I always get from
coach P year after year when I ask why cant we get a larger
school to come and play at SB!!!!!!!

You gotta pay these schools tens of thousands of dollars. They
have nothing to gain by playing road games against lesser
opponents. That's why you never see it happen.

That's true in basketball and football. The financial
guarantees these schools command would break our budget. We
have to be happy with what we have .

I think what you all are referring to is associated with games
where the more established program travels to the less
prestigious one, correct? I certainly understand that. My
dismay centers around the fact that Maine, UMASS Lowell and UNH
are all on UCONN's schedule, but the Seawolves are not!! If the
game must be in Storrs, so be it. I'd just like SBU to have a
shot at playing them.

Can those on the Board with some better program awareness than I
have tell me if I'm off base here? Please check out the
following, which looks like it has a fairly complete
listing/details of preseason tournaments and participants. The
Seawolves are nowhere to be found!!

In my cursory review I have found Rider, Robert Morris, Boston
U., UMBC, Albany, Bryant, NJIT, Hofstra, Siena, Vermont,
Columbia, Fairfield (all programs that usually circulate in the
same neighborhoods as does SBU) all have gigs in pre-season
tournaments. But, alas, no SBU. Should I assume that the
travel budget has been totally blown by the European trip, or is
there likely a more complex explanation? In any event, I find
it disturbing that in a season with such high expectations that
the team will not apparently experience the tournament
excitement and competition against highly rated teams in storied
arenas as they have in past seasons. I think it could
negatively impact their preparedness.

Our OOC schedule always seems to be a National Secret every
year. Most of our conference mates pretty much know who they
are playing already and what tournaments they are in. In know
the Holiday Tournament in MSG this year is St Johns vs St
Francis Brooklyn and Hofstra vs Appalachian St. I have checked
other boards and Holy Cross, Fordham and Colgate don't show us .
I know we have home games against Hofstra I think that will be a
long term series and the Princeton Tigers visit us as a return
game . If the game plan is to get the brand name out there we
seem to be falling short with major tournaments . I also truly
hope we get away from the our annual thrashing of a D3 team and
schedule a mid major instead. I would think by now our
schedule is just about finished and it comes out soon.
