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!!!!!!!
