Been out of touch on a vacation, but just heard the news. Fairfield is playing is the Hispanic scholarship tourney :(

What a mistake we made by pulling out! We would of had a game vs. UConn, an SEC team (Mississippi), and a new to DI team CENTRAL Arkansas. No way we would go 0-3 with this lineup.

Why did we get out of this one? We could of had 3 games in the Civic Center and lots of press from the Courant and Hartford TV channels! Instead Fairfield and their new coach gets some badly needed exposure.

Pulling out because of competativeness was not a good public statement for the program. Sorry, but I'm pretty dissapointed in this one.

Agreed - 100%! CJ has done a great job at CCSU and is a great guy but he shouldn't have announced to the world that CCSU is "not ready for prime time". I heard through the grapevine that the real reasons were scheduling and administrative problems. This makes the reason CCSU pulled out in the press even more upsetting. I also get the feeling that Howie does not want to play a Jim Calhoun team.
