Keep up the great work and thanks Greg! I'm just curious but where do you find this stuff? obviously besides uconnhuskies.com it's pretty cool
Various sources. Some other schools have released their schedule, and I got a few of the men's basketball games from an America East Conference fan board. As for whose schedule to focus on, there's a good chance that if we play a school in one sport, we're playing them in another as well, either that year, a year before, or a year after. I also look at last year's opponents for that specific sport for home-and-homes. Plus there are local opponents.
For instance, women's soccer played Penn State in 2010, field hockey played them in 2011 (and maybe 2012 as well, neither the Nittany Lions nor the Huskies have published their schedule), and we play them in women's basketball in 2012 as well. Additionally, we play them in men's ice hockey this year. They may have all been scheduled under one athletic contract.
Also, we have a home hoops game against New Hampshire this year, played them at home two years ago, played them in lacrosse last year, and play them in field hockey this year.
Plus, we play Iona in men's soccer and women's volleyball this year after playing them in women's lacrosse this past spring (although the volleyball match is in a Loyola Marymount Tournament so that may be coincidental). So, I check those teams particularly as well as doing google news searches for "ncaa schedule" and the like. Plus the Big East teams, obviously.
As for the men's soccer schedule format, I haven't been able to confirm it, but judging by the schedules that have been released, it appears to be correct. And there will only be 8 games for sure, unlike in women's soccer where some teams appear to be playing 10 and others 11.
