Dream Non-Conf. Sched. 2014-15

As far as other teams, I know Jay Wright and Greg Marshall were on separate radio shows detailing their interest in trying to get a series with UConn. We also know that there were talks on at least some level between Warde and KU. If we can get two of those teams added to @Stanford, @Florida, Texas, and supposedly @UCLA, we're golden.

I agree. The problem is that the arrangements aren't just between two parties. The conferences and the media folks who control the contracts have to sign off on these arrangements. It's the complexity that people are overlooking. But I feel strongly that WM understands the importance of strong scheduling for the success of the program, unlike his predecessor, and will do everything in his power to try an make it work.

I hadn't heard the UCLA rumor. Where did that come from?

If Nova wants a date, that would be wonderful, actually it would be a good match up in NYC if we had to. BSPN/CBS/Fox Sports 1 would probably knock over their mothers to get to the phone first to put this one on tv. The next step would be making dates line up.

Take it with a grain of salt, but a family member of Daniel Hamilton said on twitter that UConn was playing at UCLA next year. If Stanford and UF are definitely on for next year I doubt we see another true road game against a major conf opponent though.

Both are on for sure. Personally, since we will be out there for Stanford anyways I think it would make sense to swing by UCLA and get a return game out of it.

Just to expand, UConn will play three of the following seven teams attending the Puerto Rico Tip Off in November of 2014 (with current KenPom ratings in parentheses):
College of Charleston (200)

Wow. Haven't paid any attention to College of Charleston but they were very good back when we had them on our schedule.

Cremins is no longer coaching them.

It would be interesting to have a killer OOO schedule but there needs to be some balance here. If we go .500 or even 1 or 2 games under .500, would we even make the tourney with < 20 wins?
