2017-2018 UConn Home Opponents

[FartMan69]

So you are afraid of UMass, URI and Providence? How the mighty have fallen.

Well URI and Providence have been pretty damn good lately and we well...have not

URI and Providence are tough opponents. You're lying to yourself by denying that

Monmouth is a significant step up from our usual mid major

We're a cupcake for Monmouth at this point

Well, thank God you're not in charge of scheduling.

Boston U is a far better bet in terms of RPI.

I wish they'd lose Coppin State's number. Coppin loses 24 games a year and is an RPI grenade.....and yet we keep calling them.

If nothing else, we can get revenge on Juan Dixon, but outside of that, scheduling them repeatedly is a sign of brain damage.

RPI? Let's have a winning season first. Or enough dudes to play 5 vs 5. At least the school is saving money on scholarships

 

[Danzz]

Are you interested in having a decent record?

We are in the AAC not the BE. We have to have to have a more challenging out of conference schedule than we did under JC not only for the RPI but for national exposure. If we are worried about URI and UMass we have big problems.

This year we have a more challenging OOC schedule than we did under JC

True and we should every year.

Absoutely

So play lower RPI schools is your solution to ???

To be honest I think you should even in a great conference like the ACC. These out of coference games help teams get better. Most of the time the national champion has a good out of conference schedule

Agree, Syracuse sees it differently.

Let's slow down. They were better than us last season, that's about it. Lately is a bit much.

Losing to Wagner and Northeastern

I know there's a couple BU alums on this board so no offense but why the hell do we keep playing BU? If we're gonna play a local team who might beat us I'd rather play Quinipiac or UHart or something.

I think it has to do with hockey joining hockey east.

Some deal was probably made to schedule other HE members in other sports for us to join.

Bball played Maine, UNH, and UML in 15-16.

NU and BU in 16/17. Maine in football.

Merrimack(exh) and BU this yr. BC in football.

Providence, BC, and maybe Vermont other than soccer in the future would be nice if this deal is actually real.

No idea, just a guess

Not being a dick or trying to show you up at all but this to me seems like coincidence. They are all New England teams, seem like logical opponents

I agree with Hoophound. I have bled blue since the days of Toby Kimball and have experienced the highs and lows. Being in a conference such as The old Big East and being one of top programs in the country was unbelievable. But going back to being a mediocre program in a mid major conference is draining my enthusiasm. I have said it before why isn't someone held accountable for this situation? It is costing us millions to be in this BS conference.

who do you see as that person?

 

[FartMan69]

who do you see as that person?

Everyone but the one in charge, obviously.

So next season when we make the tournament and lose in the second round, we'll say, we've been pretty damn good lately?
