Basketball

The two schools starting playing each other as division 2 rivals in 1958. After the 2002 edition the series went on hiatus until 2010.[1][2] During the break in the series Central Connecticut became a power in the Northeast Conference under head coach Howie Dickenman making the NCAA tournament in 2000, 2002, and 2007. The 2010 match up was part of the Connecticut 6 tournament held at Mohegan Sun Arena.[3] Traditionally the game is played at the beginning of every season.[4] In the 2017 matchup Central's head coach Donyell Marshall and assistant coach Anthony Anderson were both suspended for the game due to an altercation at practice, assistant coaches Mike Witcoskie and Anthony Ross handled the coaching duties for the Hartford game.[5]
