Message: [QUOTE="champs99and04, post: 2298441, member: 488"] OK, so I hate to be so blunt, but this is stupid. Virtually every program in America is limited to one or two home and homes per season. It's a simple matter of budgeting, which means if you have two home and homes scheduled, you're only going to get one of those opponents in your gym. Right now our home and homes are Villanova and Arizona. That is the grande deluxe of meal plans in the best of times. I wonder whether any other program in the country is juggling two home and homes of that stature, which means with regards to accommodating fans UConn quite literally might be the best in the country. We also scheduled Monmouth, perhaps the toughest buy game in America And people are still complaining. Insert shaking head emoji here. With regards to the conference schedule, it broke perfectly for us. The league is at its post Louisville apex and every program of note is scheduled to come to Storrs or Hartford. If you have nine conference games, there is a good chance you're going to see 2/3 of them against top 50/tournament caliber competition and a third against top 10/25 teams. It's never going to be what it used to be but if the old Big East is your reference point then you're basically just a little kid throwing a tantrum because nobody is paying attention to you. It sucks, we know. We don't need to rehash it every five minutes. [/QUOTE]
