13-14 Schedule

[terribletom]

This team has traditionally played a strong out of conference schedule with Stanford, Baylor, Duke and Maryland this past year. What are the chances Notre Dame will be on our schedule next season?

Pretty close to 0%. No league games and I don't think they could find a OOC game. Maybe the tourney?

There is no room for Notre Dame on next year's schedule.

 

[Phil]

Higher than zero. I'm pretty sure there is mutual interest. Not saying it is high, but higher than zero.

 

[Wally East]

I know I read somewhere that ESPN has expressed interest in setting up a game.

ESPN is on this like a starving dog on a bone.

I'm all for an ND game...on the condition that it's in Connecticut.

 

[Vowelguy]

With the 18 game conference schedule in the AAC + prior commitments, there is currently no room on UConn's schedule.

"Currently" being the key word.

I think they take a year off and then the battle starts anew.

I believe we have:

Home vs Stanford, Hartford, Oregon, Ohio St, BU, ODU, St Bona
Away vs Maryland, Penn St, Duke, Baylor

NYC @ Maggie Dixon, probably vs Cal

If we were to find room on the OOC schedule for any team, I wouldn't mind if it were Tennessee. It's been years since I thought that, but I think it could be a great fundraiser for some worthy cause, like Alzheimer's research.

I thought the first Penn State game was in CT.

?
It was.
Hence why next year's will be Away.

Complete brain fart. For some reason I remembered this year's game was part of one of the holiday tourneys. Doh!

Funny I had same thought initially ...

 

[Phil]

ND would be a good choice for a Maggie Dixon game - while closer to a UConn site than an ND site, it could be a considered a neutral site, so could be done without having to schedule a home and a away.

ND will tell that NYC is South Bend East

iirc Geno said no for a while - "we won't be playing them"

That's a great OOC schedule imho

Not bad. Hope we do get to play Cal. I like playing different teams. We haven't played ODU in quite some time (ok since 07). BU since 06. St. Bonaventure.....ever??

It is not 'finding room' so much as NCAA rules. I believe we have the full allowable number of regular games scheduled (conference and NCCA tournaments do not count.) The rules are 29 regular games or 27 regular games and one in-season tournament of no more than 4 total games.
I believe we are already maxed at the 27 plus 3 in season tournament total - 18 conference, 9 OOC plus tourney. So next season is out, and I think most of the OOC for 2014/5 season is pretty full already. I do hope that the AAC reduces the conference total after this current season, but who knows.

How is it we tend to have 39 games in a season yet Baylor played 4o in their undefeated season. Is it possible for UCONN to play 40 or even 41?

 

[WestHartHusk]

Pretty easy solution for ESPN - get us in the damn ACC (though I still prefer B1G).

 

[Phil]

St. Bonaventure will be the first time ever

I'd guess conference tournament games but I don't know for sure.
