Conference Schedule Being Released This Afternoon

[zls44]

FYI

 

[HooperScooper]

So, like in 20 minutes?

 

[Waquoit]

About time

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Don't we already know we play everyone twice except for Houston and UCF?

Or are these dates and tv listings?

Yeah, dates and tv listings.

 

[alexd]

I guarantee you the TV listings will not be complete.

Or the tipoff times.

One hour from schedule release - 95% of the conference games will be on national TV #AmericanRising

 

[alexd]

Remember not that long ago, when the COMPLETE schedule would come out in early Sept?? All the games, all locations and times filled in. And the next day the season ticket info would be neatly mailed out by the school and you were given 10 days to send it back in.

Slowly, over the years, all that game info started to trickle out little by little during the summer. Now we are at the point where the school wants their season ticket money in early August, BEFORE we know game times for OOC games, BEFORE dates for ANY conference home games are announced and not knowing which of the OOC games will be at the XL vs. OOC games at Gampel.

Calling the CBSSN "national TV" is sort of a joke.

 

[Waquoit]

Yeah, dates and tv listings.

Locations?

 

[tcf15]

Locations?

Not entirely sure. Maybe for some games, when the 13/14 schedule was announced around this time last year, this is what was released: http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/conn/sports/m-baskbl/auto_pdf/2013-14/misc_non_event/Sched.pdf

Only Louisville at Gampel was known because that was ESPN Gameday.

Let's see. It was an hour forty minutes ago, so yeah in about 20 minutes.

Here you go

2014-15 Conference Schedule

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Pretty good exposure. A lot of ESPN/2 and2 CBS games. 6 CBSSN which given the opponent can't really ccomplain about

 

[CallMeBruce]

The Cincy game is at 11am. NYE game? Championship game at 3:15 on Sunday? I'm not thrilled.

 

[WestHartHusk]

Can and will complain, especially about the opponents. Home and homes with ECU, Tulane and Tulsa...yippee.

 

[Tenspro2002]

OK, here's my count:

ESPN/ESPN2 - 11 + up to 2
ESPNU - 3 + up to 2
CBS - 2
CBSSN - 6 (ugh)

I would scarcely count CBSSN as "national", and a lot of people (myself included) don't get ESPNU either. But about half of the listed games will be on the primary ESPN networks, and a couple of big CBS games too.

[zls44]

Bottom line: as of today, not a single game played at the XL Center or Gampel Pavilion will be on primary ESPN. Perception wise...

 

[HooperScooper]

Just UConn's AAC schedule.

http://blog.ctnews.com/uconnbasketball/2014/08/28/quick-look-at-uconns-aac-schedule/

Remember all the AAC talk about doubling up on long road trip games to save on travel money and student athletes' time (e.g. SMU and Houston)? Well that lasted all of one year.

uconn florida on cbs/espn would be nice. III

And ESPN IS A 40 MINUTE DRIVE AWAY

Maybe 2/12 or 3/5.
