2018-2019 Schedule Nearly Complete

ND, Bay, Lou, SC are high profile games
Cal, Okl are the backend of series
Stl & Vandy are for players
DePaul is a Geno friend

That leaves Ohio st & seton hall as the only possible optional choices.

Not a lot of room in the sked.

Tony Bozzella at Seton Hall is also a longtime friend of Geno.

Playing the Paradise Jam reduces the number of games under Geno's discretion from 13 to 11.
 
I can tell right now that I will plan to attend Notre Dame (my backyard), Louisville, and St. Louis games.
And I'm hoping they will have a game with Cincy in Cincy next season.
 
UCONN needs to come to the Pacific Northwest and play Oregon & Oregon State (OSU & UO are 45 minutes driving distance). Perhaps UCONN will be in the PNW (Portland, OR) in the NCAA Tournament! I know that would not be ideal for the UCONN fans, but we would love to see them live and up close.
 
Last time I looked the hotels on St. Thomas were damaged and not accepting reservations until spring of 2019.

Paradise Jam three-game tourney in Virgin Islands against yet unknown opponents

Honestly I won’t be shocked if UCONN goes undefeated or has just 1 loss entering the tournament. Unless a big opponent is in the Virgin Islands, the only games where it’s conceivable that UCONN could lose are Notre Dame, Baylor and Louisville. Notre Dame is the toughest test, Geno always schools Walz, Baylor looks potent but I’m not sure how good they really were this year since they played such a weak schedule and bowed out early. Easily could win all 3. No one else has the horses to stay within 10-15 of UCONN. Keep in mind no one on the Huskies has ever lost a regular season game...I won’t be shocked if that record continues.

Was hoping UCONN would put Penn State on the schedule for 2018-20 seasons so that De'Janae Boykin could return to UCONN as a Junior and Kyla Irwin could have a home coming at PSU as a senior.

Boykin plays for West Virginia now.

Someone once said "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few". While I whole heartedly agree with your thoughts since I too reside on the west coast, it will never happen. We'll have to settle for seeeing them in person every 3-4 years when they come west to play a school in the western region. They play most of their games in the east and mid-west. n spite of that fact, they've got many loyal fans in the western part of the country that they seldom get to see.

UConn is a guranteed selloutout for whatever venue they are assigned to for the EAST regional games. The majority of their fan base is located in the northeastern part of the country. Many of them buy their tickets to the regional games long before the brackets are annnounced, because they know UConn will be there.

That would not be the case IF they were forced to come to the west coast. UConn administrators and fans would scream and holler like you've never heard before. It has happened to other #1 seeds, but seldom to the overall #1 seed. UConn will have some concerns come tournament time. Being assigned to the West Regional will not be one of them. ;)

While I disagree with Geno’s suggestion that 30 win seasons in WBB may be coming to end, I am willing to accept that undefeated seasons may be a thing of the past.

What I’m hoping for is that UConn goes down 1-2 times in the regular season, rather than the last game of the season, so the Huskies can profit from the losses as SC and ND did the past two seasons.

Right now, Notre Dame appears to be the elephant in the room, and UConn's biggest opponent on their schedule next season. Notre Dame will retun all of their players that were injured, along with their new freshmen coming in. Next year's team should be more formidable (and definitely deeper) than this year's team.

Remember what Stewie said during the FF this year: "Notre Dame is always a tough matchup for UConn. Unlike many teams, ND IS NOT affraid of UConn". Notre Dame will begin the season as the #1 ranked team in Division 1. Please don't think ND will go into next year with fear or trepidation, nay. They will bust in the door in that 1st game, kicking ass and taking names, with the intent of proving that winning this year's championship was not a fluke. :eek:

The target and focus will be on their backs for a change, allowing for UConn to make that come from behind late season charge for the wire at the end of the regular season. I expect ND to hold on to that #1 ranking most of the year. I don't expect them to lose more than 1 game (if that many) before post season tournament games begin. The 2018-2019 team could be the best team Muffet has had in years.

Yep. And not in the direction we're accustomed to. I think next year it's ND, a decent sized gap, and then everyone else.

UConn is still right there with ND. You return 2 first AAs. ND will return 2 second team AAs. After that, ND might have a little bit more than you guys. Although the front court of Shepard and Turner will be a problem for you guys.

It's also possible that some of those teams not on the UConn schedule (MD, Stanford, etc) are also...at the Paradise Jam.

I just hope ND does not become bad for WBB.

Been to USVI on numerous occasions to snorkel, sail and generally relax and drink rum. I will certainly look into planning a trip to visit again and watch the Huskies, but I am a concerned at what shape the islands are in following the devastation of Irma & Maria.

I think the islanders might be more concerned about what shape you are in for a bathing suit to snorkel...:eek:

Good about Paradise Jam. I guess that means more than 38 games. Good. The more we play, the more we win, and the faster Geno catches Tara and then Pat. :eek:

Good about Baylor. Hmm, no Stanford, no Texas, no Maryland, no UCLA. I can't remember the reasons we are not playing these teams next year. I know this was discussed on BY. I'm getting more and more senior. Head bang Thoughts on the teams we are not playing? Hmm, wouldn't it be great to play MS?
Expand ...
I would also love to see Miss. St.; Tennessee ( will never happen ); Oregon, Oregon State, UCLA, Texas, and Texas A&M. What I really want is never to play another game against the AAC teams. Dream on.
