Does this mean that the series with ND, SoCar and Tennessee have ended or just that the dates haven't been made public?

Tennessee is on the schedule. That series was renewed this year.

I just did a Google search

Why Sunday could be the end of UConn women’s basketball’s regular-season series with South Carolina

UConn-South Carolina is always one of the most anticipated matchups on the basketball calendar, but the series may not continue next season.

Don’t know about ND

Combined with 20 conference games , that's 28 games. Assuming the Mohegan event counts as "1" slot (with 2 games), that means 27 of 29 (?) slots are filled.

 

[RitzLuce1]

Interesting still no announcements for ND and S Carolina renewals. Wouldn't shock me if one of them is in their take their ball and go home phase of the relationship. It's usually about that time.

Should be 11 non-con games, which means 3 more to schedule.

Found NCAA language:

Currently, men's and women's basketball teams can schedule 28 games with an additional three-game, multiple-team event, for a maximum of 31 games. Teams can also choose to schedule 29 games with a two-game, multiple-team event, again with a 31-game maximum.

With the Mohegan as the 2-game, multiple-team event, that leaves 29.
20 of those are conference, so 9 other non-conf games

1. Louisville @ Germany
2. Iowa @ Brooklyn
3. v Ohio St
4. v Tenn
5. @ USC
6. @ USF
7. tbd
8. tbd
9. tbd

 

[Huskee11]

Unless "tbd" includes South Carolina, UCLA, or Texas, moving through this schedule is gonna be like a hot knife through butter.

UConn women's basketball won't play South Carolina in regular season for the first time in 12 years

 

[Bills Fan]

It would seem that another left coast game might be added so as not to make that cross country trip for just one game. There are plenty of Cal., Ore., or Wash. schools - you would think one of them would look forward to selling out their arena to play the defending National Champs, even if it means a loss. It would certainly help their SOS come NCAA selection time.

Also that USC game should be interesting for K9

With ND and Florida State now announced that leaves 1 spot left. With South Carolina out, to me it would be a tremendous disappointment if the last known game isn't LSU, UCLA, or even Texas or Duke. I can't remember the last time UConn didn't play a top 5 team during the regular season.

USC is on the schedule

Does that mean they still have on non-conference game left to schedule?

Perhaps the reasoning is that the UCONN WBB " A" team plays
a "top 5 team" when they scrimmage every day in practice!!!!

100 days from today UConn and Louisville will be opening the season with the first-ever WBB match up in the Armed Forces Classic in Ramstein, Germany on ESPN. Can't wait to post the first Prognosticator's Predictions of the new season on Oct 31st.

Do you think they will be playing on the AFB or out in Kaiserslautern? Might be worth catching a Space-A MAC flight!

I believe that the game is on Ramstein Air Base. When I was stationed in Kaiserslautern they had a NATO basketball tournament on the base. They converted a hanger for the tournament and it held about 8,000 fans.

There are occasional direct flights to Ramstein from some east coast bases.

No 2nd team of any school is top 10, and I'm skeptical it would even be top 25.

I don't remember them ever playing in Germany???

So there has been an adjustment to the HOF Women's Showcase event at Mohegan. Originally, UConn was scheduled to play Utah in Game 1 and the winner of Michigan/Syracuse in Game 2. Now they will play Michigan and then Utah.


UConn announced Wednesday that it will face Michigan on November 21 at 8 p.m., and the game will be aired on FOX. UConn's second game will be against Utah on November 23 at 2:30 p.m. on FS1. The fourth team in the Hall of Fame event is Syracuse, which UConn will not play.

Good to have guaranteed game with Michigan which is the best of the 3. Not sure about Utah/Syr this coming season but Cuse did struggle mightily last year.
