ND & UConn Sign Four Year Deal.

ND for the next 4. SC for at least the next 2!

Should be fun!

Does Baylor have a home/home with one of the three. I would love for SC to schedule a home/home with Maryland.

We play Texas next season and wrap up a home/home with Ohio State.

Great to hear! In spite of last night, the sun did come up and we'll be there for next season (and beyond!)

Great sport, Dillon77! I confess I was rooting hard for Stanford (whom I normally never root for), but only out of fear of our meeting your ND team in the NC game. Last night was a terrific battle between two great, great coaches, and, considering ND had far more experienced players, Tara more than held her own. Both these teams could be terrors next year.

No fear of playing ND, just anticipation of a great Final. Too bad. Maybe Tennessee vs UConn would not make a bad Final.
 
Muffet did duck once cause she thought uconn needed ND more than they needed uconn, which was mostly true at that moment. Both teams are quite alone in their conference without any worthy opponent, it is surely great that they schedule to play each other.

Geno's 5 cell phones are ringing off their hooks (if cell phones had hooks)! But seriously, ND has never ducked UConn; nor vice-versa.

I think Baylor is back on our schedule next season if I'm not mistaken. UConn's out of conference schedule next season is ridiculous. The first couple of months of next season are going to brutal without Stewie, Mo, and Tuck.

Stanford is no peanut. Although they did not beat Uconn as many times in Final four as ND, they sure did Uconn in the final four and regional final. They also stopped Uconn's long winning streak and home winning streak, plus beaten Uconn last season thus prevented a new record for Uconn. In my opinion, they are not less dangerous....
 
not sure what happened last night, Notre Dame looked terrible. They need a physical post player. And learn how to play defense again.

I agree with that NOW, after watching them last night. Before the game, however, I think most thought ND was far more of a threat this year, esp. as the NC would be effectively on their home court.

Brianna Turner was MIA in the first half but came on very strong in the second.

Notre Dame let Stanford get off to the fast start and by the time they dug in, Stanford had enough(and luck) to stay ahead.

I usually HATE the uber-lucky desperation bank-in 3-pointer. But I sure liked the one that Samuelson got after ND had closed the game to a tense 3-point deficit.

Tara had an excellent game plan, which her players executed to perfection, especially in the first half with that lights-out shooting. Once Samuelson banked in that bomb, it was a confirmation that "...this might not just be our night."
As they say, sometimes you've got to shake their hands, give a tip of the hat (and prepare for next time :-))
 
So NOW ND wants to play UCONN.......With the Big 3 graduating. Geno will probably get a few more calls from coaches willing to schedule the Huskies as he stated.

I believe Texas has non-conference games with Tennessee, Stanford, South Carolina, UConn, and Miss. State.

Coach McGraw has not ducked UConn during the Big 3's tenure. No way can you accuse her of that. The Big 3 played ND eight times in their four years IIRC, and only in the 2013-14 season which was the first year of the new conference schedule did we not play them in the regular season.

Here's a source, though you have to scroll down a bit to find the part about the series renewal:

HoopsFan21 is right; UConn and Baylor do begin a home-and-home series next season.
http://www.nhregister.com/article/NH/20151217/SPORTS/151219596

UConn's nonconference schedule for next year includes the teams ranked Nos. 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, and 9 in the most recent AP poll.
 
I sure hope Megan Walker is wearing National Flag Blue and White.
