Message: [QUOTE="HuskyNan, post: 4061974, member: 4"] Benedict may not have 100% control of who/where the teams play. ESPN, or whatever outlet has rights to the game, has a lot of input to days and times of the games. I know for the women’s team, ESPN tells UConn “You’re playing Tennessee/Notre Dame/whoever at 8:00 on Martin Luther King Day”. Their choices have to be matched to the venues’ schedules and opponents’ schedules. There’s also NCAA rules about scheduling and travel that have to be considered. The leftover games - UConn vs DePaul, for example - can be stuck into whatever date is open. Not as easy as picking a date and making it happen. [/QUOTE]
