Nova to host Virginia in late january
Posted: Sun Apr 17, 2016 2:59 pmI keep saying we need more of these games. UConn needs them too, so they should be doing this with us every year.
For the newbies, in the old big east a team had to play all of their ooc games either before conference olay started or in weeknights. The exception was if you could get a national tv game on a weekend in january or february.
Nova didnt do it every year, but we definitely had some of those games. I remember Kevin durants texas team, and a maryland game around the same era, that were played after conference play began. Duke v georgetown and duke v st johns as well seemed to play january games. Georgetown v uconn this past year (which was a real season turning point for both teams)
Game will be the sunday in between the nfl conf championships and the super bowl on FOX. Should get millions of dollars worth of promos during the nfc conf championship. Huge exposure for the school. Better than anything we ever got from espn.
