Can we just once play @ Memphis on a weekend so I can actually drive down to the game? Every year since we've been in this godforsaken conference that game is a weeknight.

 

[Guapo]

Wish they were playing WSU at Gampel and not during break, but at least Cincinnati and SMU are at Gampel (can't believe that game is on CBSsports).

I've heard various things about upcoming streaming options for CBSSN, anyone have any word?

TV Breakdown:
6 CBSSN games (UCF, @ Memphis, SMU, @ UCF, Temple, @ Houston)

5 SNY games (Colgate, Stony Brook, Boston University, Columbia, Monmouth)

3 ESPN/ESPN2 games (Cincinnati, @ Wichita State, @ Cincinnati)

You'd have to think nova would be on fox and zona espn

 

[gwhuskyfan]

Pretty much every conference game at Gampel. Interesting

 

[SirHypeAlot]

Overall not bad. Timing and dates aside the strength of schedule passes an initial eye test for me

 

[awfuldan]

Different lay-out/poster. Figured it was worth posting.

Agreed, it's a good looking schedule. Replacing Gtown with Nova for the January OOC game and adding Wichita State help a lot.

 

[UConnSwag11]

The PK80 is going to be huge. We need to beat Oregon so we don't play DePaul. It will also help our sos and rpi bs. Add that with Cuse, Nova, Auburn, Arizona for OOC and I like it. In conference playing WSU and Cinci 2x is great. Glad Cinci is later in the season. Temple hopefully will be good as we play them 2x. Would like to have seen Memphis switched with smu for 2x.

 

[tcf15]

UConn better beat Oregon or else they are looking at a DePaul matchup that will start at 12:00am ET.

 

[kobe]

Playing Tulsa and ECU in the XL center but Cincinnati at Gampel? Interesting choice.

 

[Waquoit]

Too many nooners.

Every big game should be at Gampel, which is on our college campus where colleges should play college sports.

 

[Waquoit]

Be proud. That's the tentpole game of the Gampel sked. The other two good ones are at the XL. Also at noon.

ADD: Missed SMU first pass, at least that one isn't at noon.

 

[UConnSwag11]

Are there any WSU posters that can give us an idea about their team? @kobe gives us some insight about your team

 

[ConnZag3]

The 8 pm Sunday game @ Temple is pretty ridiculous...

 

[UConnSwag11]

Too many nooners.

Kegs and eggs

 

[tykurez]

Too many nooners.

Much better matchups though ... with the exception of ECU (which will be a mausoleam) they're all marquee teams on a cold winter Saturday.

 

[Waquoit]

Every big game should be at Gampel, which is on our college campus where colleges should play college sports.

We could do that if you're good with a 50% decrease in overall attendance.

 

[Fishy]

At least there are Saturday home games. Noon isn't ideal, but it beats Sunday every which way.

Overall...fine.

 

[MSGSeven]

UConn better beat Oregon or else they are looking at a DePaul matchup that will start at 12:00am ET.

That Oregon game is huge for so many reasons. We want payback, a W gives us a quality OOC win and a chance at another quality OOC opponent in the next round and it would be a great confidence builder for a young inexperienced team.

If we could play smu twice instead of Memphis That would be great but overall I like it

Overall...fine.

It feels like they're listening ... the scheduling of directional carolina/florida at XL on a Sunday is hopefully a thing of the past.
