Any idea when the schedule gets released?

Not the strongest OOC schedule this year which means we need to either dominate the Battle 4 Atlantis or finish top 3 in the Big East...let's just hope we do both and don't have any worries come March.

Cupcakes are particularly cupcakey. They were all 250+ on KenPom last year. Not sure if any are supposed to improve, but there's a chance we play 0 teams between 75 and 250 in KenPom outside league play.

What do you call Auburn and West Virginia?

That's a relatively weak out of conference schedule. Season ticket holders in particular get screwed. Oh well, it is what it is. Just win games.

Sucks for season ticket holders that there's no big home OOC game but this is a very strong OOC schedule

It shouldn't be "oh well" -- people pay good money to invest in season tickets and you don't reward them? Especially as an opportunity to improve revenue after the lost season last year. We should have a P5 team at home and a true P5 road game every year. Not super hard to schedule home & homes and alternate them.

I guess AD David Benedict pulled off all his scheduling favors on the football schedule for a team that won't win 1 game all year...cool stuff!

Benedict doesn't do basketball scheduling.

Also to the people saying its a weak schedule, we only get 11 games - 4 of them are may very well be vs top 25 teams and WVU is solidly in the 25-50 range. If we can manage to go 11-0 that's a huge feather in UConn's cap. Sure the home games stink but this team needs to gel.

If they go 11-0 I'll eat that cap and the feather.

I just wish the "cupcakes" were teams 150 to 250 instead of 250 to 350. I dont think you learn anything from that competition. They are glorified practices.

I always forget Juan Dixon is the coach of Coppin St now.

I don't get the Grambling St game. What's the upshot there?

Because HBCU need love too.

Expecting the conference schedule to drop shortly. The B1G and SEC announced theirs earlier in the month and the ACC and Big XII announced just yesterday. The only P6 conferences yet to release theirs are the Pac 12 and BE.

CORRECTION: The Pac 12 announced its team pairings in May and its scheduled dates (no time or TV info) in August.

As AD he is in charge of all athletic schedules. He is responsible and accountable. Of course, his staff and the Big East does the mechanics and coaches have involvement and sign-off.

Since when? AD most certainly have control over scheduling. You my friend are grossly misinformed.

They are helping out an HBCU, a lot of big schools are scheduling HBCU's now.

 

[SoFla Steve]

Is this a hint that the entire schedule will be released today?! No word on the BE website yet.
