Agreed. OOC games will be at a premium since we'll only have I think 9 or 10 instead of the 13 or 14 we have now. The ND game is a given. A homecoming game is hopefully still a given. There are a couple other annual games on our OOC slate, so there's really only going to be maybe a half dozen openings for at large OOC games. Sorry Houston you don't make the cut.
I'd rather see us play Texas or Baylor or aTm if we are going to that state for a game.
Jose Fernandez: USF and UConn will keep playing each other in women’s hoops
Look for the Huskies, headed back to the Big East, to face USF annually in non-conference actionwww.tampabay.com
"Bulls women’s coach Jose Fernandez, whose team now shapes up as the AAC’s premier program with the Huskies’ departure, said Wednesday he and UConn coach Geno Auriemma already have discussed continuing the Bulls-Huskies series on a home-and-home basis."
There's just not going to be any room in the schedule for throwaway games unless you are willing to give up the homecoming games for our seniors or our annual big games against top ten opponents. The Big East schedule leaves us with a lot less out of conference schedule flexibility.

You could do Houston as a regional tune up before a big game similar to the way they will go play Pacific before Stanford. When they visit Waco they could play Houston a couple days before, so the team doesn't have to fly all the way to Dallas and then back.
