On the scheduling process:

McCarthy is thinking big, with a home-and-home series against Arizona to begin in 2017-18, and talks advancing to place the Huskies at Madison Square Garden on an annual basis. There are ongoing discussions moving toward three-game arcs against former Big East rivals Syracuse, St. John's and Villanova that would include home-and-home components, plus a neutral game in New York. Last season, UConn did not play a game at MSG for the first time in more than 30 years.
"Kevin is smart, he will not make impulsive, emotional decisions," McCarthy said. "He will wait to have all of the meaningful information provided to him. He might be interested in the concept of playing the school, but he's very analytical, very deliberative, very smart in terms of making good decisions for his program and scheduling is one very good example."
McCarthy said UConn is open to playing New England teams like UMass, Rhode Island, Providence, Boston College and Harvard, though there is nothing yet in place.
