No matter what the schedule looks like, my hop is Paige and Azi having fun like in USAWJNTeams
Well if UConn should play in Vegas it’s only 1:35 minutes from St. GeorgeIf Stanford doesn't want to play against UConn, maybe Geno can schedule UNLV and then go to California and play UCLA. I know a lot of people that would buy tickets to see UConn play at the Thomas & Mack here in Vegas.![]()
I'm going to dream along with you. UConn could play UCLA and UNLV in a four-team two game showcase at The Thomas & Mack Arena. UNLV is currently 30-2 (18-0) in the Mountain West Conference, and currently participating in its conference tournament. UConn could also participate (if they could get an invitation) in UNLV's thanksgiving holiday tournament thanksgiving weekend which features 8 teams.-LSU. Geno-Mulkey battles of old are fan favorites. Two great coaches preparing their teams, now at her new school. Mulkey needs a boost in her OOC scheduling so I hear.
-I think one west coast trip would be nice for next year, maybe UCLA? Play UCLA in Vegas - neutral court (I am obviously dreaming). Arizona game is for 2024-2025, so not next season is my understanding. They will be a fun add. It was nice to have UConn out west for one weekend in Portland.
-Tara has been ducking UConn since she abruptly discontinued the series. Have you seen Stanfords OOC schedule last couple years? I doubt she will want to take an L by the hand of Geno. It's a shame tho since this rivalry is decades old, would be great for basketball.
Any time a team plays they risk injury. I would hate to have any injury playing in a game (powder puffs) that doesn't make UCONN better. Tough games are why players come to UCONN and you can't base things on the the lack of depth they had this year.I am not in favor of adding anymore out of conference games. After this year and the toll it took on these players, I would just let the schedule stand and if more had to be added, I would just as soon see powder puffs to play. This probably will cause a torrent of opposition, but I would rather see them ratchet back and play at an even pace with more space beween games so that they can rest and heal. You are entitled to yours and I am entitled to mine.
Didn't they have a problem with the facilities last year? Court with no bleachers, no medical people on site?Any time a team plays they risk injury.

Does anyone know if your ticket is good for all three games or if its game by game ticket situation? I would imagine the former rather than the later.Tickets for the Naismith games go on sale Sept 8.

Ditto for the 2019 games.It should be. The 2 games last year and the year before were included
In addition to LSU, add Ohio State in Cleveland (preview for FF) in an ESPN special....-LSU. Geno-Mulkey battles of old are fan favorites. Two great coaches preparing their teams, now at her new school. Mulkey needs a boost in her OOC scheduling so I hear.

I believe that " to go there" would be to reward the bad preparation of theDidn't they have a problem with the facilities last year? Court with no bleachers, no medical people on site?
I don't think we want to go there, at least for that get together.
It's always been one ticket for all games in the past; I can't imagine that it would be any different this year, even as a triple header, but would expect a good turn-outDoes anyone know if your ticket is good for all three games or if its game by game ticket situation?

I believe that " to go there" would be to reward the bad preparation of the
promoters last season. I believe it was the INDIANA COACH that was outspoken
in her comments about poor facilities. ( at the Las Vegas venue ). Did the facility also have no medical backup
on site?? What do other Boneyarders recall?
I don't believe the official dates of the itinirary/games have been officially released as of yet. From the link below. The European tour is from August 15-25.Is there a date for their Italy game this summer? I would like to drive down and see them.
Thank you. Very helpful.I don't believe the official dates of the itinirary/games have been officially released as of yet. From the link below. The European tour is from August 15-25.
"The trip begins in Zagreb, Croatia followed by stops in Ljublijana, Slovenia; Bologna, Italy and Venice, Italy. The team will play an exhibition contest in each city. Dates, as well as possible viewing options, were not included in the release."
If I was a betting man, my guess at a possible itinerary for this trip it probably goes something like this below.
August 15 - Travel to
August 16-17 Croatia
August 17-19 Slovenia
August 20-22 Bologna
August 23-24 Venice
August 25 Travel back
...so @ballerfan I would believe their games in Italy would be within this window of days, from August 20-24. I'm sure a final itinerary will be released but if I was you circles the 20-24 days in Italy.

Interesting team goes to Bologna after Slovenia, I can only assume they are flying from Slovenia to Bologna...otherwise if driving they go right by Venice.
On a personal note, I would love if somehow the team live streams these games back to the US.
