		<description>Chris - I first met and got to know Dave and several of the beat reporters back in 1981 when I was with the UCONN men&#039;s hoop team - he was always a class act and he will be missed. He was a great writer and even a better guy - I remember Ciach Pernod being a New Haven guy always had a deep respect for Dave. What a sad loss!</description>

		<description>College basketball masquerades as a sport when you look at top teams like U of Conn. Fairfield has plenty of opportunity to host at their own arena and Webster while U CT has their games (and turf) in Storrs and when a bigger arena is needed in Hartford. There&#039;s no logic in having a third &quot;home&quot; site, nor is there a logic in having a top national team give up dollars to a regional.</description>

		<description>I agree 100%. I have said for years that the UConn Women are the closest thing to a state team that Connecticut has.  I regularly attend the XL Center games, but there are plenty of folks that can&#039;t. 

Let&#039;s spread the fun around.  I wouldn&#039;t be surprised if more folks would begin to to travel up north to support the Lady Huskies.</description>

DI MEN’S COLLEGE PLAYOFFS SET TO KICKOFF FRIDAY
BOULDER, Colo. -- In the Emirates Airline USA Rugby Division I Men’s Playoffs, 16 of the top DI men’s college teams will square off this weekend at four locations around the country.
The four venues for the Men’s DI College Playoffs are the University of California – Santa Barbara (UCSB), National Sports Center in Blaine, Minn., Bowling Green State University (BGSU), and the University at Buffalo.
One team from each of the four locations will earn a spot in the semifinals on May 13, with semifinal winners advancing to the National Championship game on May 14.  Both the semifinal and the final will be played in Stanford, Calif.
Bowling Green State University, Temple University, the University of Florida, and the University of Maryland make up Group A.  BGSU will take on Temple and Florida is set play Maryland.
Group B will see Harvard face off against fellow Beantowners Northeastern University, and Southern Connecticut will take on the hosts University at Buffalo in the opening round.
Harvard will make its first appearance in the DI men’s playoffs since 2004 when they made the semifinals.  Northeastern claimed the New England championship, solidifying its spot in the national series for the first time.
Southern Connecticut State is also a newcomer to the DI tournament, having secured the Metropolitan New York conference title during the fall.  Buffalo enters into the series as the New York State conference champion and will face Southern Connecticut State in Group B.
The University of Davenport, University of Minnesota, Kansas State, and Texas State will fill the Group C fixtures.  Davenport and Minnesota will play one another and Kansas State will play Texas State to determine which teams will advance to the Round of 8 and beyond.
Group D will see Oregon State battle hosts UC – Santa Barbara and the perennial DII powerhouse, University of Northern Colorado that made the leap to DI this year and will play Stanford University in the Round of 16.
Winners of the Round of 16 will move on to the Round of 8, the losers from the Round of 16 will play again on Sunday to determine seeding for next year’s playoffs.
