Being released at noon today. Seems like tidbits may be released throughout the morning. So far, I've seen that the first Big Monday game this year will be Lousiville @ Uconn on Jan. 14th.
 
Yikes, we're playing St. John's in Queens?

When is the last time this happened?
 
If this is correct, then as of right now, there are only two BE games at the XL: Lville and G-Town and only 2 others BE home games that say "TBD"...those would be Rutgers and USF.
 
.-.
So to make up for WVU's leaving, we play 4 teams twice- DePaul, Cincy, Friars and USF?
 
We lucked out on our home and home opponents, but otherwise it's a tough schedule. The St. Thomas tournament, which is mediocre at best, will be very important since Michigan State, NC State, Washington, and even Harvard will be very tough OOC games. The start of our BE schedule is brutal too - @Marquette, DePaul, @Notre Dame, Louisville, and @Pittsburgh.

Really blows for us Ffld Cty fans, who go to all games at the Garden. Hard to believe they don't want to sell those tix.

Yea, I always looked forward to the St Johns game and with no BET it makes it even worse. Gonna have to make the NC State game.

It appears UConn has been bounced from CBS TV too. That's a first since the 1990 regular season.
 
Cuse making their last league trip to Connecticut, and they'll have to brave the hostile XL Center. Smart move guys

games on both Super Bowl Sunday and New Years Day? did I read that right?

Washington, LVille, Cuse, Nova, Cincy...pretty solid

I meant the disparity between the Gampel and XL games. The Gampel lineup is an absolute joke. The scheduling department blatantly favored more ticket revenue over a better home-court advantage.
 
They should not list the BET on the schedule. We can't play in it. Season ends on 3/9/13.

This must be a record. It's usually not till after the first lousy crowd game in Hartford before we start the "which homecourt is better" arguement. :)

You will get plenty of HCC/XL season ticket holders (myself included) who could go on and on about the excellent crowds we've had for Hartford games vs. TOP opponents over the years, as well as 1,000's of empty seats vs the Cupcake U. type games.

Yeah, because who cares about money when you are trying to get a new-multimillion dollar facility built? We could use that home-court advantage to get a better post-season seed!

What about recruits who show up to an empty Gampel Pavilion because we're playing the likes of Depaul and Providence?

Also, there's no guarantee that the XL games will even sellout. With the fairweather fanbase that UConn has, I'd doubt a lot of fans show up because we're ineligible for the tournament anyway.

edit: Does ticket revenue even go towards the practice facility? I thought it was completely funded privately?
 
Kind of pissed that the Gampel schedule is so weak.

I get XL Center tickets too, so it's not a big deal to me, but I can understand some people's frustration.

I disagree. Students are still going to show up for the games and people with season tickets are older, more mature, and more understanding of the situation. Attendance will drop, but we're not as fairweather as you would expect.
