Next Years out of conference schedule (merged)

Does anyone know how much of our OOC schedule for next year is confirmed? Sorry if someone already posted about this.

With the Big East schedule going to 20 games (don't get me started on how dumb this is :mad:), it'll be important to make the most of our approximately 11 nonconference games.
 
Will Iowa be any good next year? Olson is a senior and I haven't heard about their recruiting.
 
I'm really hoping Shea and Geno organize a trip to Storrs by Vanderbilt next season, or, even better, a home and away series. We've learned that Quad 1 losses don't hurt you a whole lot in the NET rankings, so I'd be willing to see us go up there and get our whipping just so the kids can get the UConn experience. It would appear i've already missed out on my fantasy of seeing Paige play in Memorial Gym, though.

I'm guessing another late night start in Brooklyn. Not to my liking. Much prefer 2 PM at MSG but I'll be going to many other games.
 
It will be interesting to see if Notre Dame and South Carolina remain on the schedule
I believe the contracts with both those schools are up and we have to be renewed
Would be surprised if South Carolina was not renewed as Dawn values the game
Not sure about Notre Dame

These are confirmed games
Ohio State :/ home
Tenn/home
So cal /road
Louisville:/ road
Iowa /Barclays
Assume a game at Mohegan
To get to 31 2 games would need to be at a holiday tournament
That leaves 3 games
If the nd and so car games are continued
That would leave one game

This article from UConn WBB Weekly also has us playing @ USF to complete a home and home series.

Iowa will be similar to now. They have a new Clark/Olson replacement coming in freshman Addie Deal, and developed a bunch of useful freshmen and sophs this year. They also have Stuelke back in frontcourt.

Deal has to prove herself and it will be her freshman year, but they should still be OK.

I have 2 thoughts on that particular call. My first thought is that technically speaking it was a moving screen. My 2nd thought is that no referee should ever make that call at that point in the game to effectively decide the outcome of the game.

Wow, Oldude, you had to bring this up. That argument bears no weight. If it isn't called and Aaliyah has blocked the defender's path to guard Paige, wouldn't that be potentially deciding the game? You're also assuming UConn would have scored in the next two seconds or so, a rather presumptive assumption.;)

Aaliyah had a long history at UConn of illegal screens, including one just a minute or two earlier that wasn't called. It's on Geno and UConn that they paid the price for not coaching her to do it correctly.

Deke, you’re stretching here. All I am suggesting is that in such late game situations, where the call is “borderline,” the refs should swallow their whistles and let the players decide the outcome of the game. I make absolutely no assumption that UConn would have scored had the play continued.

Normally, I don’t follow @The deacon ’s anti-husky bias — I exaggerate, but it’s out of love — but it wasn’t a close call. The replays available during the game didn’t show it clearly. But videos that came out later showed that Aaliyah clearly gave the Iowa defender a hip check. As for criticizing Aaliyah, I don’t support that at all.

Sorry to my Husky friends for ripping the Band-aid off those wounds....not my intention. If it makes you feel any better, UCLA got revenge for you on a late game screen call in our 2 point loss to them last month. This time an apparent illegal screen by Dugalic tripped Lucy Olsen with 3.8 seconds remaining in a tie game, who then fell into a UCLA teammate leading to a "blocking foul" and 2 FT's for the Bruins. FT's good; game over and 67-65 loss. We're over it but disappointing nonetheless. Let me whine so I feel better: rules state feet must be no wider than shoulder width on a screen; apparently Dugalic's shoulders are 5 feet wide:

Thanks for listening. Good luck in March Madness; lots of respect in Iowa for UConn.

It’s not you. It’s us. The illegal screen call on Aaliyah will be a source of debate on the Boneyard ad nauseam until all of us are pushing up daisies…;)
 
Got a notice in my email this morning that the presale for the Shark Beauty Women's Championship Classic at Barclays starts today at Ticketmaster. Early access code is WCCBK if anyone is interested. Good seats are available and the prices aren't astronomical since the resale market hasn't come into play yet. (To get down to brass tacks, I got two seats on the aisle in row 14 of the center section of the lower bowl for $228; no, not cheap, but that will be my birthday weekend, so happy birthday to me. :D)

Here's the link to more (limited) info about the event. Games start at 7. If I were a betting woman, I'd say UConn–Iowa will be the later game, but the site doesn't confirm that.

I got a notice today from UConn that went to all season ticket holders advising them to hold off, they have reserved a block of tickets that will be made available to season ticket holders in a couple of months at a 10% discount.

Hopefully enough, hopefully well-placed.

So if you are a season ticket holder, take that into consideration.
