As much as I would like to see it, I'm with Rick, it'll never happen. Two words Patriot League..
As much as some don't want to here it on this board, The PL will keep us from attaining any BB prowess(remember, the only measurable win we have in the last 4 years was BC). The only games of any stature we have had at home in the last 10 years have been Umass and BC. Umass dropped us and BC has a 2-1 and we play at BC next year and who knows how much longer they will continue.
Year in and year out we hear the same things RPI and SOS. Well, when looking at the PL, you have no team higher than 120 and most at 200 or below. That's weak by any standards. Not only do you need to pick that up to get a decent team up here, but you also have to guarantee them $$ to come up. How can you do that at the Hart? HC doesn't want to use the Centrum and has put forth no effort to schedule more games there. As was mentioned, why not a in season tourney? Colonial classic, etc. Again, the reason PL.
As long as we reamain, you will only see low major teams coming in and you may get a couple in season games away against top 75 competition, but I have learned not to expect anymore than that. It's just the facts.
You need an administration that wants to see these games happen year in and year out, and does everything to make that happen, we don't presently have that leadership.
