Our future basketball schedules

[shizzle787]

One small thing that some of you have probably forgotten is that we get one more perk of joining the Big East; we play in the Big12 and B1G challenges every year.

Our schedules are going to be sweet.

20 Big East games
Big 12 team (Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, or West Virginia)
Big 10 team (Wisconsin, Michigan State, Michigan or Ohio State)
Syracuse (most years)
3-team tournament
One more big school (Arizona, Oregon, Tennessee)
4 local creampuffs (Yale, Harvard, Quinnipiac, Vermont)

We are going to have a top 10 SOS almost every year, and 18 wins will probably get us in to the tournament most years. 18 wins wouldn't get us into the NIT out of the AAC. We would need 23-24 wins just to get to the tournament. This move was the right move. We needed to get basketball right. Football will sort itself out. Big 10 schools and ACC schools schedule home and homes with us (Duke just did a week ago).

 

[shizzle787]

LOL. If you think we are ever sitting out, think again. I'm sure part of the deal is we are part of the B1G challenge every year.

 

[shizzle787]

Yea we do. We're baaaaaack.

 

[Robertelamin]

IIRC we may no longer be scheduling Syracuse.

 

[UconnU]

How about a future Big East - ACC challenge? Lots of historical rivalries. How long are these “challenge” contracts good for?

 

[Big East Fa]

The Gavitt Games are 8 games each season.

 

[Robertelamin]

I wonder if we can kick PC out of our conference and replace them with another school. Any ideas?

 

[nadav]

Haha. Happy to have us back??!

Gavitt Games was an eight year agreement, Big 12 Challenge a four year agreement. Both end in 2022-23.

Have you ever met us?

Tell them if they want to play us they have to give us a football game to put on the sked

 

[The Viking]

The banter between you and some overamped uconn posters is entertaining

 

[Walker11]

This is why we have a bad rep on Friar Talk.

 

[Caronimo]

Google most big east championships

 

[UconnU]

That’s a hard no for me dog.

What’s up with your fan base, how come y’all are the only ones not totally on board with Uconn to the BE(outside of our delusional football fans)? I can’t wait for these Uconn - PC games, home and home every year! Hurley back coming back now IN conference. Games have potential!

Bryant. 8 minutes closer.

 

[whaler11]

show some gd respect.

Shizzle wont date girls with arm hair.

He’s never required anyone to shave their arm hair.

RISD will win the Big East before PC does again.

 

[Caronimo]

The PC fan base acts the same way we do... like we are the best... although we have 4 championships. Not sure why they act the way they do.

We were in the American, not charm school.
