UCD hoops schedule update

The charming human beings over at aggiesportstalk.com have gotten ahold of a leaked copy of Holy Cross' men's basketball schedule. That schedule has the Crusaders playing UCD as part of the first round of the Coaches vs. Cancer Tournament in Storrs, Conn. Aggie coach Gary Stewart said his latest information was that the first-round pairings in that event were still fairly fluid. Lots of schools want to go lots of different places, and the Gazelle Group, which organizes the event is trying to accomodate as many schools as it can.

I was told last month that UCD had been slated to play in the Lexington, Ken. regional, not Storrs. Neither Kentucky nor Connecticut has released its schedule yet. Holy Cross hasn't either, so its hard to confirm anything. The other two first-round site in the Coaches vs. Cancer event are Memphis and UCLA. The Aggies are already scheduled to play UCLA at Pauley Pavilion, on Dec. 29.

Stewart said that aside from getting those pairings set, the non-conference portion of UCD's schedule is done. The Big West, however, is still tweaking the conference slate. In other news, we hear the women's basketball team is heading to Hawaii for a three-game tournament against some pretty good competition.
