Full schedule out next week?

[Hey Adrien!]

Let’s go!

This would be a lot earlier than last year when it wasn't released until September 23.

UConn men’s basketball team announces Big East schedule starting with home matchup against Providence in December

UConn’s second season in the new Big East figures to bring back the fans to Storrs and Hartford that were missing during the 2020-21 season due to the the COVID-19 pandemic. The men’s basketball team will open its 20-game conference schedule for 2021-22 on Dec. 18 against Providence, a rivalry...

And how long will it take the dopes to decide where the games will be?

Think they dropped it a week after last year

Is it safe to assume that the teams we played at XL last year will be the teams we play at Storrs this year?

I'm pretty sure they don't do it that way.

No. Still expect UConn to go the cash grab route and send most of the bigger games to XL. Maybe Nova or Creighton goes to Gampel.

 

[shizzle787]

I hope Oklahoma State, Buffalo, Nova, Creighton, Xavier and Providence are at XL. That is all.

Yeah cant see this administration sending away a 14k house for some of the big conference slates. Maybe they send one to Gampel tops.

Big games that’ll sell out should be at XL. I would expect Villanova to be in Hartford then the rest are up in the air.

So every game that matters. I agree with you, by the way.

 

[Storrs South]

If they want to do it with some level of fairness they would split games based on tier of likely fan interest:

Tier 1: Nova / Providence
Tier 2: OK State / Creighton
Tier 3: Xavier / Seton Hall
Tier 4: St. John's / Georgetown
Tier 5: Marquette / Butler
Tier 6: DePaul / Buffalo

then it's all cupcakes from there, so if you had a theoretical:

XL: Nova, OK State, Xavier, St. John's, Marquette, DePaul
Gampel: Providence, Creighton, Seton Hall, Georgetown, Butler, Buffalo

That'd be a pretty fair outcome for season ticketholders at both venues. That's what i would define as 4 games of intrigue at both venues.

A lot of subjectivity in this, and no consideration for when games are played relative to school being in session but you get the idea. Hoping they do something like this (and praying for no 8:30 tips at Gampel unless it's a Tier 1 or 2 game.)

 

[Ports21]

I'm all aboard for no 8:30 starts

Wouldn't count on it, pretty sure the Big East is still going to have their 6:30/8:30 double headers

 

[gampelcrazies]

I actually kinda like the 8:30 tips. Just think they have to choose better opponents for those starts. Georgetown mid week at 8:30 makes zero sense.

Please limit the 6:30 starts!!

8:30 works well for me. Just got the kids to bed and I'm good to go. At 6:30 I'm wrapping up dinner and trying to shepherd everyone upstairs.

Just DVR so you can watch when you want and skip commercials

I do that. I still just prefer to be watching it live.

The 8:30 tips are nice. You don’t have to rush to Bidwell and can have an extra beer or 6.

I still think we’ll put both Villanova and Providence at XL for monetary purposes.

I suspect XL will get 3 of these 4 games. The athletic department is clearly scrambling for money this year.

Tier 1: Nova / Providence
Tier 2: OK State / Creighton

 

[shizzle787]

My guess:
XL: Okie State, Nova, Creighton, Providence, Butler, DePaul, Buffalo, UNC-Wilmington

Gampel: The rest

11AM lets go get here!!!!!

Foaming at the mouth over here

 

[6xChamps]

Big East tweeted it at 10am and then immediately deleted it

 

[navery12]

Gampel: Georgetown, Creighton, Xavier, Seton Hall, Providence

XL: Villanova, St John's, Butler, Marquette, DePaul

 

[Hungryhusky99]

Gampel: Georgetown, Creighton, Xavier, Seton Hall, Providence,

XL: Villanova, St John's, Butler, Marquette, DePaul

Creighton and Nova both coming to town without students on campus. Disappointing.
