21-22 Opponents

I agree with the basic premise, but have no second thoughts on our fans being even more excited with even more luster the second or even the third time around. Having followed many of your post I believe you too would be just as or more excited also. Maybe a little more apprehensive, which adds more excitement.

You know what, you are right. After last year I'm not going to be concerned about potential losses, but the excitement will definitely be there for those games. Games against great teams, especially with our conference schedule, will add to the enjoyment of this season. The more, the better, so lets bring them on.

You want to "really" imagine?????

1-- Imagine if Elena Delle Donne came to UCONN and stayed.
2-- Imagine if De'Janae Boykin came to UCONN and stayed. In that Miss Sate game just needed maybe one more rebound- one more inside play. Just a bit more inside athleticism to get that game.
3-- Imagine if Azura Stevens stayed in 2018-2019?
4-- Imagine if Charli Collier came to UCONN and stayed.

5***** Now imagine all this and the wonderful articles we'd have been reading for 10+ years how bad UCONN is for WCBB.
And all this stuff about how the rest of WCBB "caught up to UCONN" would only be relvant maybe the past year or 2-- maybe. While they have caught up now due to players being allowed to transfer and stay an additional year meaning more teams have more good, experienced players- but excluding this recent circumstance --
the rest of WCBB got very, very lucky due to the above.

...what you can't imagine if Megan Walker stayed for her senior year?

Look at it this way then, 74 days before the first Prognosticator's Predictions begin!! :rolleyes: Of course maybe Geno will get another game scheduled prior to the 14th, then it's less.:):)
 
In Creme's Way-To-Early rankings from April, 3 of these teams were in the top 10 (SC Lou Ore) and 3 others in the top 25 (Tenn GaT ND), with UCLA just missing.
Also a chance for another top 10 in Atlantis Game 3 (SC/Ore) and another top 25 in Atlantis Game 2 (USF).

Arkansas & Minnesota only non-conference teams not in Creme's 25 (pending Atlantis draw).

Unfortunately no conference teams in his top 25. :(

With the 87 OT topics that have proliferated on the board, I can't find the last discussion of UConn opponents this year (+ dates where known already).

Heres what Ive pieced together:
  • 20 conference games
  • Arkansas (11/14)
  • @Atlantis (11/20-22)
    • Minnesota
    • USF/Syracuse
    • SoCar/Oregon/Oklahoma/Buffalo
  • @ GaTech (12/9)
  • Louisville (12/19) @ Mohegan
  • @South Carolina (TBD)
  • @Oregon (TBD)
  • Notre Dame (TBD)
  • Tenn (TBD)
  • other?

Hope the TBD's can get scheduled in late Jan / Feb so we get some late season competition with teams that have jelled.

I'm almost ready to put all 20 of the Big East games in the "W" column. Plus the Big east tournament games.
Although Marquette should be able to hold my interest for 2-3 quarters.
BUT... let us not count our chickens until they hatch.
We got jumped by the Razorbacks because scoring 87 points a game is fine until the other team scores 90.
Took some real heroics to pull out the SC game. At home.
Our Huskies were going down the tubes against Baylor in the NCAA until Dee Dee Richards went down. (Still feel bad for her)
Of course, catching a break like that doesn't mean anything if you can't capitalize on it, which the young UCONN team managed to do.
And,of course, after we showed all that moxie against the Lady Bears, taking care of the 5th seeded Wildcats was just a stepping stone to the Final Game, where we are flat out forbidden to lose.
I still can't bring myself to re-watch that AZ game, even though I've done so with every other game in 2020-2021. Who needs the tsouris?
My point is, with the amount of talent and level of play in the CURRENT WBB scene, nothing should ever be taken for granted.
No doubt we have the talent to go all the way this coming season. Between everybody a year older, stronger, wiser and , hopefully, hungrier...not to mention Azzi, Dorka, Amari, Caroline,
We SHOULD open at # 1 or 2 (Stanford, the defending champs are not going to just go away) but there's still the target on every Huskie's back. The lack of a NC since 2016 doesn't necessarily reflect a loss of "The Right Stuff" in Stoors, but MAYBE the fact that everybody else is getting better at this business.
If we are going to bring the NCAA trophy back to Connecticut, Geno, CD, Jamelle, Morgan and the whole roster are going to have to push themselves and each other from the opening tip off until the final buzzer in April. Nobody should be considered a "cupcake" until we walk away with the win.
Sorry, didn't mean to preach.

True but everyone, including the media failed to mention that UConn played the entire game without their starting point guard.

Regarding Big 12 teams: I hope Geno is dialing the Iowa coach for home/home in the 2 seasons after this coming one.

But Iowa is in the Big Ten.
Do you mean Iowa State?

I believe he meant Iowa, a home and home series of Paige vs Caitlin. Which many people are wanting, including ESPN and most likely Fox.
 
Whoops...I did mean Iowa...forgot their conference. Iowa State would be Plan B...Iowa high schools have some underclass kids we should be after.

Already putting together my UCONN game-watch plan, including when to order the pizzas, shrimp dumplings and gyros
Also when to hit Costco to stock up on the pretzels & peanuts.
And of course, put the phone on "vibrate".
I'm in NYC and my sister down in Corpus Christie,TX doesn't get SNY, FoxSports,or CBS Sports so I usually text her the scores after the 4 quarters.
Wonder when the Big East conference games will be scheduled?
I mean, there's only 20 of them
LET THERE BE HUSKIES!!

For me, I know Mohegan is considered neutral but really anywhere in CT is pretty much home. UConn has played at Mohegan so many times that it is rapidly approaching a feel similar to playing at XL.
 
So far, the UConn website hasn't added the Notre Dame, Oregon, South Carolina and Tennessee dates to the schedule. I'm thinking the Big East schedule is going to be released within the next week, and they will update it all at the same time.
