Something different to bitch about, so that's nice.

Garbage schedule.

Garbage schedule.

 

[shizzle787]

This is really bad. We usually play 7 good opponents OOC. This year we are only playing 5. We should be playing 8-10 good OOC opponents. We are going backwards, not to mention that that conference is going to be garbage this year. Sweet: our reward for going 25-9 and losing in the conference semis is...the NIT.

 

[HawkHusky]

Overall, it's a decent schedule, but in terms of the home slate, I'd rather see Yale/Harvard/UMass/Vermont over Lafayette/UMass Lowell/Cornell/Manhattan.

(Yes, I too am bitching. But rightfully so IMO.)

Wow, can't remember the last time we didn't have one road game OOC.

It's a good schedule to get our feet back on the ground. People forget we have been bad 2 years in a row. Maybe we can get to January with a winning record. Minimal travel, a big home game and 3 at MSG. What is there to complain about?

I've been a UConn fan for a long time, and I don't think I can remember a time when everyone said "wow! Great schedule."

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too.

Pretty sure this is SOP with new coaches.

 

[Guapo]

Is it a great schedule? No.

Am I upset about it? Also, no.

We have a group of guys that haven’t won much. A weaker OOC schedule isn’t the worst thing in the world. Winning 3 of the 5 marquee games would set us up nicely to make the NCAAs if we can handle business in conference play.

We don't play in the Big East anymore. We can't afford to play this many bad teams and no road games. Our conference is weak to begin with and even weaker than last year. On top of that, you don't get better by playing Lafayette; you get better by playing schools like Providence, Texas, and UCLA. We don't need to schedule all top 10 teams, but we should have more mid-level P5 and Big East teams on our schedule. 4-5 powderpuffs is enough. We don't need 8 of them. We get enought of those in conference.

Perfect schedule for Year 1 under Hurley. Some solid tests and then games at home we should win.

Yeah we won't "get better" playing Cuse, Arizona, FSU etc...

C'mon man!

If we can go 10-3 I will be very very excited about our chances at a tourney bid

 

[Stainmaster]

The belief that a team’s improvement is contingent on who they play against is insanely myopic.

It's shizzle

It's shizzle

The NWO has a mole planted in our AD, and they’re trying to sabotage us with poor OOC scheduling

Any chance we play Arizona on campus? That's the deal breaker for me whether I buy Gampel upper level season tickets or not.

I think I remember reading that part of the deal was Arizona would only play us in Hartford

 

[HuskyHawk]

I'll confess that there are more than usual number of crappy opponents here. Hopefully that is a one time thing, and Hurley isn't going to give us the Jim Boeheim scheduling philosophy going forward. Still some quality games, we just need to win a couple of those.
