An Olympic Family, 2018-19 OOC Scheduling & More

[RockyMTblue2]

Olympic dreams a family affair for Nurse

Get to know hockey star Sarah Nurse, plus: vanderbuilt and Ohio State come into view.

"So, barring changes, the 14-game non-league schedule for 2018-19 will have UConn hosting DePaul, Ohio State, Seton Hall, South Carolina, and Vanderbilt, and visiting Baylor, California, Louisville, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, and Saint Louis (homecoming game for Napheesa Collier). The Huskies will also play three games at the Paradise Jam in the U.S. Virgin Islands."

Vanderbilt, interesting. Certainly makes sense as the homecoming for Crystal.

Stephanie White's team has really struggled this year. I actually think that their OOC schedule was too ambitious for them, and her young team could have used some softer opponents in order to gain confidence and reps. After her team lost to Memphis in December, White said: "Right now we have to find a way to get our players some confidence, because right now, they don't have any confidence. ... You can see it in their body language, and in everything that we do.”

Tigers earn their stripes on the road

Tennessee is one of the top five recruiting states in the nation for the next few years so a stop at Vanderbilt is great for Crystal and the team's recruiting efforts, Ohio isn't a bad stop either from a recruiting standpoint...........

For one Paradise Jam we stayed at the Balongo Bay Beach Resort on ST. They still send me promotional emails. Got one a while back saying they’d be closed until further notice due to hurricane damage. Recently I got a holiday greeting email, so I responded asking if they, and the Island, felt they’d be fully up and running be Thanksgiving. No reply yet - anyone have any insight?

I started looking at places, expecting to see some deals because of the hurricane, but I was unpleasantly surprised by how pricey they were. Attended the last two, but may miss this one.

Don’t they play UCLA at home as well?

Yeah I noticed that too - prices are stupid high

I believe this year was the return game for UCLA from the 2015-2016 season.

I may be able to trade into the Westin Villas on St. John, if they are open.

Can you get back over to SJ late at night after the BB games?
