Future regular season games vs Baylor?

[Cuango]

Baylor is heading down not up. If they want to add a game in the south then call Kim Mulkey and schedule LSU. They are getting the pieces in place and they would be a challenge for UCONN and more importantly a game the fans would want to watch. The only game in Texas worth scheduling right now is Texas.

I would think that Arizona would be a good add. The reality is UCONN plays enough of the top programs now so they should play opponents that give them a recruiting advantage.

I agree re Baylor’s decline but Kim, I believe, is unlikely to want to play us unless she can achieve some sort of roster advantage ala the Griner era.
As for Arizona, I think Barnes has done a great job there but is now experiencing some hiccups. I would love to see a series between UConn and Az as then I would finally get to see my Huskies in person!

Given Adia's "EF" UConn comments from the semi-final 2 years ago, I am completely against even asking if they want to play a game.
My top choices are:
Iowa, Indiana, Texas, Utah, Oklahoma, USF, LSU and even UCLA.

No thanks, I’m not saying it’s impossible. But I think their best days are behind them. We will not benefit playing them because I expect a STEEP drop off in their play coming soon.

I’m in favor, now that Baylor is Mulkey-free.

Actually I think Kim has great entertainment value.
She’d make a great “Bad Guy” wrestling manager.

They probably would trade TX and Baylor in to and out of schedule because yes - a Uconn presence in the state for recruiting purposes is important. Hot bed of talent and for some reason they seem to grow some taller players.

With California hemorrhaging people, Texas will probably be the most populous state in the very near future.
