We are playing North Carolina somewhere in North Carolina. We are only playing Louisville in Brooklyn. sounded like Geno was going to try to schedule a game @Tennessee this year, but not confirmed.

Not sure what the status of the Texas and NC State series are but I could seem them both happening again? Also we are playing @south Carolina and @ Notre Dame

While ND is at South Bend, the SC game will be in CT this coming season.

No...UCONN owes South Carolina a home game and this is the one. It will be in Columbia.
You may be correct. But as I recall, during the 2021-22 season, after UConn was soundly beaten by SC in the Bahamas, SC requested that the 2nd matchup of the season with UConn in Columbia be cancelled in order for the Gamecocks to make up an SEC game that had previously been cancelled/postponed.

Subsequently, the 2 teams played in Hartford in 2022-23 and Columbia this past season. I don’t know that UConn owes SC a makeup game in Columbia, since it was SC that asked to cancel the 2021-22 game. I guess we’ll find out once next season’s schedule is published.

This was settled last year that UConn will be playing in Columbia next season also. I don't like it since Dawn is the one who asked for the game to be cancelled, but the deal was made, and we will be on the road at SC again this coming season.

Dawn asked and Geno was happy. The injury bug had begun for y’all by then.

Will be interesting to see who at the college level ESPN will be placing in their WBB promotional ads next year. Paige and JuJu seem to be what everyone thinks are perfect replacements for CC. Or perhaps will the tv powers-that-be downplay the college game to concentrate more on the W following wherever the Fever with CC plays instead trying to duplicate the following they garnered in the FF and NC games this year? For sure there are ongoing discussions right now at the exec offices at ESPN and Disney definitely coordinating it all with the NCAA and WNBA on what they will be focusing on. Can they do both the Div I college game and W equally? That would be great. We'll see. Stay tuned BY'ers.

Kaitlyn Chen is from the Los Angeles area; do you suppose that Geno is trying to get a game scheduled against the Bruins or the Trojans? It would be kinda a fun one to watch!

WNBA will be over before the College season starts. They shouldn't interfere with each other.

I think that is a reward for players that actually spend their careers at UConn. You only have so many non conference games and that will also come into play for something like this for a player.

UConn always plays the toughest schedule. Basically, because they need to since the Big East as a whole sucks. Out of conference we should see South Carolina, Texas, Notre Dame, NC State, Louisville, Tennessee, UCLA, SoCal on our schedule regularly. However, we need pay games as well. Throw in Dayton, Wisconsin and Colorado State. These are teams with UConn ties. Then add Princeton and Vanderbilt with two UConn stars as coaches. And, I still believe that there should be a Northeast team or two on the schedule if room allows from any conference. If it’s a Connecticut team play at the Mohegan Sun or in Bridgeport.

I wonder if Marquette will have enough players to put a team on the floor this coming season. The portal and coaching change really killed them.

Sadly, the portal is killing lots of teams. Only the strong thrive and survive. Plus as mentioned the Big East for women’s basketball without UConn stinks.

What are there, 13 Non-Conference games, of which a couple are Cayman Island type of tournaments?

The team was 33-6 last season ... at a minimum, I would like to see the Huskies play these six teams again next season...
  • Iowa
  • S. Car
  • N.D.
  • Texas
  • UCLA
  • NC St.
I would also like to see them play Ohio St., it was set up for the Sweet 16 but didn't come to fruition. Make it so!
I would also like to see them play USC again. Lotta hype about that team's offseason acquisitions, so let's see what they got!
Finally, I would like to see them play LSU. Thats not going to happen, as LSU only seeks creampuffs for their Non-Conf. games.

If UConn beats those eight teams next season (unfortunately not nine cuz, LSU will run away) ... I don't want to hear a single word about the Big East schedule. Not a peep!
