I would rather see CCSU take quality wins against teams like Iona, St.Bonnie & Umass, then get thier head handed to them by Uconn and possilby others. There are still a lot of "?" with so many incoming players, I think as we get closer to the start of next season we will get a better feel for each players talents & role on the team.

There is a calculated risk here. First, I generally agree and think we should have played, but it would have been very tough and very possibly an 0-3 start (not that that matters).

We were going to lose to UConn by 15-20 no matter what so, put that to bed. I don't think Temple is going to be great, and I have no idea about Ole Miss, although they are an SEC team. I don't mind the loses if we can learn some things and execute against better teams. Also, it provides us a chance for a "big time" upset.

On the other had wins vs solid teams like Iona and UMass are probably better in the long run, but not as imporessive from a media or fan perspective. Our goal is to win the NEC, so lets do what it takes to get there. However taking this route gives us no chance at an NIT invite if we fail to win the NEC. There will be no "marquee" wins on our resume.

Its not as simple as we make it seem.
