Message: [QUOTE="MSGRET, post: 4046970, member: 8506"] Maryland (Brenda) currently doesn't want to schedule UConn and NC State and UConn tried but couldn't get it scheduled until next year so how is it a missed opportunity. Arkansas is a home and home which was scheduled last year so that CW could have a homecoming game. It was to be against Ark-Little Rock this year which would be even worse than against any SEC team to include Arkansas. Georgia Tech is the homecoming game for Nelson-Ododa who deserves that. UConn has no control of who they play in the Battle for Atlantis, the first two games are Minnesota and the winner of the Syracuse/USF game. If they win both games they go to the title game most likely playing either SC or Oregon. Looking at Charlie Creme's early bracketology projection UConn could end up playing twice before the Tournament either #1 seeded SC or #3 seeded Oregon. They are scheduled to play #2 seed Louisville, #5 seeds UCLA and GT, if USF wins against Syracuse then they are a #6 seed, and Arkansas is a #10 seed. Looking at Conference play which is a home & home they play De Paul which is a 8 seed, Marquette is a 11 seed, and Seton Hall is the second team in the "First Four Out" predictions. So UConn could end up playing a total of 16 games against teams, including the Big East tournament, that may qualify for the NCAA tournament. [/QUOTE]
