I guess the Bridgeport project was a bust? bummer

Didn't know about the Ohio State game. Good tough schedule with out of conference games against Michigan, Cuse, Maryland, OSU, Texas and Georgetown.

We were made aware they weren't going to have a game in Bridgeport this year.

the @Tulsa game is slated for ESPN/ESPN2? I'm sure the average fan channel surfing will love that.

 

[Yankees32123]

When will CBS Sports Net join the 21st century and stream their games online? I HATE having to use vipbox to watch half of our games.

You can print the current one as viewed, but the PDF version is still from last year - as of now.

A formidable 18-game schedule against the improved teams of the American Athletic Conference will combine with a 13-game challenging non-conference slate to give the University of Connecticut men’s basketball team an exciting 31-game regular season in 2015-16.

2 years ago there was a game like that against Yale I think.... Middle of the afternoon on a weekday at XL. The one where Bazz had his triple double. My boss gave me a ticket he got from one of our vendors and told me to take the rest of the day off because he knew I was such a fan. Playing hookie to watch a game adds an extra layer of excitement to the mix

 

[bear]

Happy to see our streak of New Year's Eve games come to an end

 

[kobe]

Disappointed not to see another Cincinnati-UConn game at 11:00 am....NOT

That was a November Veteran's day game at 3PM....that's a workable time for some....but 12:30????
I'm hoping it's a typo. 12/23 is not any kind of holiday.

 

[Waquoit]

Fun Fact: The first 4 XL games are against teams that were D2 when the Big East was formed.

I will make it but be late as my work gets out at 12ish that day and I am in Naugatuck.

Very happy with the schedule for two reasons: I get to go to two of the games. I had season tickets for 30 years before retiring in 2006 (football, too), but have only been to 1 game since. Spending 4 seasons in Hawaii and then the last 5 in Southern Maryland/Florida made it pretty hard to get to see any live action.

Just bought a summer home in Maine this past Spring and I'll extend my stay here until 11/13 and stay over in CT on my way to Maryland. I'll be able to catch the first game of the season, against Maine of all teams. Hey, Willington Pizza, a few beers, and then the game, doesn't get much better than that!

Our Florida rental starts on February 1st each year and we stay in the St. Augustine/Daytona area the last couple of days of each January before arriving in the Keys on 2/1. The UCF game falls perfectly to catch it on the 31st of January before heading out the next day.

StubHub here I come (unless someone has some good seats and isn't planning on making the Maine game).

Looks like xl got the better of the schedule agaim.

Looks like xl got the better of the schedule agaim.

At least they realized that weeknight Gampel games are a disaster in the AAC and scheduled accordingly. Just 1 this year.

I actually think the schedule is pretty solid this season.

Sure as hell beats the football home slate.

 

[OkaForPrez]

@tcf15 How many ESPN/ESPN2/CBS games did we have last year? would be interested to see how this is trending.
