Metal Man Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Is there a lot on Marshall or do you normally just find a spot on the street? East Adams St is where you can find a few good lots close to Marshall, and Faegans is a block up towards the dome from there. I usually park in one of those lots but like another poster mentioned it could be pretty crowded for UConn. If you're not parked in one of those lots by 1030 they are likely to be full. Varsity is a decent pregame spot too, right next to Faegans, if you're looking for pizza/wings type food. But again it gets pretty packed by 11 so you need to be there early.

bills44 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I dunno, I parked in a lot on East Adams for an afternoon game against Louisville in '10. SU was #1, and the game was sold out. I got there about 15 minutes before tip and parked with no problem. SU lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I miss going to games live--but the last few times I drove up there, it was through horrendous snow storms. I'm sort of done going to WNY in winter; just too dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for WVA last weekend I got there about 1030 and there were only a few spots left. Maybe there was something else going on that morning but the attendance ended up being over 28k that game so with that in mind I am planning on getting there even earlier for UConn in case it does end up being over 30k.

I'm sort of done going to WNY in winter; just too dangerous. That's why I'm glad I live in Syracuse/CNY. And tonight on the news they mentioned parking at Manley is $12 for tomorrows Georgetown game. I'm guessing UConn will be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poojer Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 Survived that one...Melo & Joseph were huge....CJ sucked ass on offense...not sure why Triche didn't see the court fir the majority if the 2nd half & OT... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Survived that one... Ummm, yea, sorry about that. I've only seen two games this season. Tonights and the Notre Dame game. I promise to try not watching the rest of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how SU is going to go far in the tourney when they're getting killed like this on the offensive glass. Imagine if they played UNC or Kentucky--they'd get out-rebounded by 50.

PromoTheRobot Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 As an aside, the UB basketball team is quietly having a great season as well. They won their 7th in a row tonight, are 8-2 in the MAC and are 15-6 overall. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin in Va Beach Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Should have won that game by 10 at least. The old Scoop showed up too many times last night. CJ was awful and Dion looked pretty mediocre. Kris Joseph stepped up and that was the difference. Props to Melo for his play as well. Boeheim wasn't happy about last nights game nor should he be. What happened to Trish? Did Christmas even play? Southerland and Keita were non-factors as well. While the Orange showed some toughness in beating a Hoya team that clearly wanted it more and came to play, they also showed that there's still a lot of work to be done.

While the Orange showed some toughness in beating a Hoya team that clearly wanted it more and came to play, they also showed that there's still a lot of work to be done. 1) The shooting woes were systemic. I can't believe so many guys were cold. Even KJo started cold, but thankfully warmed up: Jardine 1-7 Triche 2-5 Fair 2-10 Waiters 3-12 Southerland 0-1 2) I know why JB doesn't play Christmas and MCW more, but those two guys can rebound, and when you're getting killed on the glass like that, I'd take a chance on MCW over "bad Scoop" and Christmas over an ice-cold Fair. 3) Finally, I don't get why we can't rebound. We have the size to do it. it seems like the only guy that puts any effort into it is Fair-- but it's tough to ask Fair to go in there against the other team's 3 bigs who are hitting the glass hard. Overall, this was a really disappointing performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffOrange Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Basketball can be a funny game. I'm reading lost of KJo love and CJ hate but basically, 1 guy made open shots and the other didn't (Fair had 4 more rebounds). I still want Fair taking the open mid-range jumper because I know he can make it. I mean kudos to KJo but he was due to break out of his shooting slump. I thought we were lucky G'town missed so many open 3s in the 1st half, though the 2 Clark shots at the end were sorta ridiculous. IDK what to say about the rebounding. As Boeheim said in the presser we're just not going anywhere with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poojer Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 really nice win today....nice to cj find his shot again. scoop was nails. dion is just incredible when he wants to be. melo hitting those jumpers would put this team absolutely over the top. didn't see how melo got into foul trouble, but he needs to relax at times. still not sure why boehiem keeps triche on the bench so much in the second half. nice crowd of 33k+! Now time for a quick turnaround for louisville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
