2014-2015 OOC Schedule

[BFieldHusky]

Based on what Amore reported this week this is the schedule we know of so far. UConn will play 12 games OOC next year. They have 2 spots to fill. I hope we add Harvard to the schedule.

Nov. 14 Bryant
TBD (but before Puerto Rico Tip Off) Yale
Nov. 20 Puerto Rico Tip Off
Nov. 21 Puerto Rico Tip Off
Nov. 23 Puerto Rico Tip Off
Nov. 30 Texas
TBD (around Christmas) Duke (neutral site)
Late December Central Connecticut
early January at Florida
Mid-January at Stanford

Remember that the Puerto Rico Tip Off consists of Dayton (NCAA Tourny Team) Boston College, West Virginia (thought to be good next year) George Mason, Texas A&M, New Mexico (usually a tournament team) and College of Charleston. The bracket will be released sometime in July.

Would like to play Kentucky in NYC!

Would think they're going to try to set up a home and home with a P5 team starting this year with a home game. For financial reasons, I would expect both games we set up will be home; not too many home gates listed up there.

Would be nice, need another P5 home game though.

I would love a home&home with Michigan, Ohio state, or Michigan State this upcoming year or 2016

Andy Katz said Harvard is taking a break from the UConn series.

I think they're just disappointed that Jeff Goodman keeps anointing them New England's best team and then they keep losing to the country's best team who just happens to also be in New England (yes, Goodman has mush for brains).

I'd love home and homes with these schools but toss in games with Northwestern, Nebraska, Rutgers, Maryland, Penn State, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Purdue and Iowa.

I'm thinking New Hampshire is coming back, since we have been alternating with them & Maine, the last few seasons.

Still waiting on the UMass-Lowell game from last season as well.

That's too bad. They're an ideal semi-cupcake: a near guaranteed win, but one surely to be in the top 100 of the RPI. We need a lot more of those and a lot less of the Maine/Yale/UMBC/Detroit kind of games. We'll get enough of that in conference play now.

I doubt we get UMass-Lowell-types any time soon due to the SOS argument. Though I'd love to get a game at the Tsongas Arena (capacity is 6500 about but that is without many seats on the floor) to drum up interest in their program up this way. Road win and 20 minutes from my house.

Nebraska. Try to use it to get football on the schedule too.

Wondering if xl will get less than 9 games this year since there seems to be less cupcake games than usual. How many league games will there be...18!

18 league games: 8 home and homes, with 1 road only and 1 home only. Getting this from Neill Ostrout:https://twitter.com/NeillOstrout/status/459349562873110529

 

[uconNYC]

ECU home only and Tulane road only would be best
