Wasn't there a rule change about scrimages?
I think generally we have one or two very secret closed door scrimages. We had one against Lasalle last year.

Really? I was not aware of one, but you could be right. I hope the hoop club sponsors a few road trips this year, unlike last. With the entire lower bowl being sold out, there would obviously be interest.

With the entire lower bowl being sold out, there would obviously be interest. Teams can either play an exhibition game against a non D1 team (Ft. Hood/Latvia select) or hold a closed scrimmage against a D1 team. JT3 has gone the latter route his entire time at Gtown, scrimmaging Princeton his first year and LeSalle last year. I don't know who the Hoyas are scrimmaging this year, but I assume, since no exhibitions have been announced that they'll be going the closed scrimmage route again. |

If we don't scrimmage Duke I'm not buying season tickets next year. Can't we get some decent closed door scrimmages at home? GEEZ.

Almost got it. Games against Latvia Select or Fort Hood are banned completely, I believe. Teams can play an open scrimmage versus an NCAA D-II or D-III team or a closed scrimmage versus a D-I team (i.e. cannot sell tickets). Thank Jim Calhoun for that.
