UConn in Jimmy V Classic at MSG

Nice. Any guesses on who we’ll play....

 

[Wordbomar]

“It doesn’t look like the Huskies will play Syracuse, as they did at the event two seasons ago, but rather an undisclosed Big 12 team.
The Huskies will also host Florida, play three good teams in the Charleston Invitational, and play at Villanova next season, among other non-conference games. It’s unlikely UConn will schedule one of its former Big East rivals for this upcoming season; that will more likely happen in 2020-21.”

Please let the Big 12 team be Kansas. Please

 

[HawkHusky]

Oklahoma and West Virginia played last season so they're likely out.

Texas would be cool. That's a winnable game against a big-name opponent we have some history with.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

Texas Tech would be cool too

 

[HuskyAlum012]

Texas Tech would be cool too

THIS, love what chris beard is doing there.

Kansas/Texas/Texas Tech would be awesome. Kansas State/Iowa State would be good. Baylor/TCU/Oklahoma State would be meh. JMO

Ooh Iowa State would actually be kinda cool. Some nice 2014 memories in the Garden.

I would be in MSG for that. No doubt about it.

This is great news. I didnt think we would have a game at MSG next season, so now im fired up. We just played in the Jimmy V two years ago so Im surprised we got another invite so soon.

True, and its nice to see MSG realizes this. You have to give the athletic department credit where its due. They realized how important playing in NY at MSG is for the fans and for recruiting. Ever since the Big East left us in 2013, we have been able to play at least one game at MSG every season since.

I thought we would get one at MSG in a one-off type event like v. Syracuse in 2016 (Tire Pros Classic) or Nova in 2018 (blanking on the name), but happy UConn is part of Jimmy V again given the publicity around it.

Love going to the Garden. Always a great atmosphere. Great experience for the freshmen too.

Oh this can’t be true because we don’t play in MSG since leaving the Big East.
