Hopefully we face Indiana in NYC for the 2nd game. Would hate to have to beat Washington and than fly to their place to play them again.

Surprisingly, I don't cringe when I see this schedule. It's not as bad as I thought it would be.

 

[Tenspro2002]

31 regular season games, 18 in conference, 13 non-conf.

I think 13-5 in conference, 11-2 in non-conference should be doable.

 

[Dogbreath2U]

It looks like there is a bunch of games that are NOT TELEVISED...not only exhibitions, but several of the easier non-conference games: Yale, Detroit, Loyola Maryland, Maine, Eastern Washington.

SNY

Are you sure? On schedule, all of the other games have a "TV" icon next to them, but not those five.

Just guessing

The link above says TBD for each of those games. No way they aren't televised.

 

[dbmill]

I'm thinking the Pac 12 network is a very good possibility for the Washington game.

It turns out that the regular schedule did not have the TBD about TV, only location. The pdf version had the TBD and obviously that is not the one I saw. More optimistic now....thought they might have found a new way to encourage ticket sales for non-marquee matchups.

4 CBS Sports Network games...dear lord. I know that's the reality we live in now, but god damn1t.

 

[BoatShow]

We now have a thread for every game. Nice.

 

[Rico444]

Man...when we were in the Big East, it seemed like every weeknight game was at 7:00. Seeing an awful lot of strange tip times. 6:00 on a Sunday night?

How is being on the CBS Sports Network worse than being on ESPN3 and having the games televised on SNY? Honestly asking, because I figure CBS Sports Network would have to have a bigger reach than SNY.

 

[huskyjawz]

Isn't that strange that the site for so many games is TBD? It appears they haven't decided how to allocate Gampel/Hartford, yet.

Well, I didn't have CBS Sports Network, and I've only ever been forced to watch it for 1 or 2 UConn games at a bar. Whereas every sports fan in CT, NY and NJ has SNY. Not to mention CBS Sports Net's production was awful and SNY had pre and post game shows for UConn.

ESPNU on a Saturday is better than ESPN Regional SNY but CBS Sports Network is where things go to die.

Yea after reading a few posts I wasn't aware that people weren't getting CBSSN on their cable providers, I have it with Cablevision. As far as those pregame shows on SNY, Welsh before he left to do games and Tarik Turner were both awful so I never really cared about those. Personally I like the channel, they carried alot of the Mountain West Conf games during the week that I would tune into over the SEC and ACC garbage that ESPN showed, I didn't really see a dip in production values and presentation compared to ESPN.

That in-conference schedule looks so foreign.

2. Connecticut announced its schedule but not locations for all home games. That's because the Huskies still don't have a deal with their Hartford home, the XL Center. But, UConn athletic director Warde Manuel said, "because of timing of transition of management of XL, we are finalizing terms for this year and we will talk long-term arrangement in the near future. We will continue to play games at XL.'' The Huskies have a strong home schedule. UConn hosts headline teams Florida (Dec. 2), Stanford (Dec. 18), Harvard (Jan. 8), Louisville (Jan. 18), Temple (Jan. 21), Memphis (Feb. 15) and Cincinnati (March 1). The only home game on this list that has a designated home court is the Louisville game, at Gampel Pavilion in Storrs, because it has been tabbed for ESPN's "College GameDay" and the Saturday prime-time slot.

I'll wager at least 4 of those home games listed will be in Hartford, and as many as 6 may be.

Florida (Dec. 2) - already announced as a Gampel game
Stanford (Dec. 18) - school is out of session - should be an XL game
Harvard (Jan. 8) - school is out - game either at XL or Bridgeport
Louisville (Jan. 18) - Gampel - "ESPN Gameday" already announced
Temple (Jan. 21) , Memphis (Feb. 15), Cincinnati (March 1) - ????

Louisville at Gampel is officially confirmed. Florida at Gampel has pretty much been confirmed by everyone except the school officially. My best guess is that Harvard will also be at Gampel and Stanford, Cincinnati, Memphis and Temple will be at XL.

 

[upstater]

I hope UConn is pulling out the schedule and showing recruits that UConn will play 16 regular season games on ESPN/ESPN2/CBS Network.

I seriously wonder how many other teams in the country can make such a claim.

Show it to Abu. UConn will be on 6 times nationally in the OOC schedule, while NC State will be on only twice. How many times will NC State be on during its conference season? More than 10? I doubt it.
