UConn may play NC State on Dec. 5th at Mohegan; Florida game in doubt

[navery12]

For us? We have our MTE with the small CT schools set up, legends classic and NCST at Mohegan, and the Big east. All that's left is staying Covid negative.

Yes this part in bold is what I'm talking about. The staying Covid negative is the hard part, and is the part I'm talking about getting worse. Cases are going up in CT, not down

I'm curious why the women's team has scheduled games at Baylor and Tennessee but the men can't play at Florida. Anyone know the logic in this?

I could be wrong but I don't think it's that we couldn't play at Florida, but that they chose to be safe and stay in the bubble to play an extra game instead

I said it in March and I'll say it again now, especially with how hospitalizations and deaths are trending both in CT and everywhere else: There is no way we play anything out of conference, and an incredibly slim chance we see any basketball at all this year.

Before this turns into a political argument, I think the quoted text above along with the point that indoor sports are very much at risk that just makes me feel more and more that we may not see MUCH basketball this year. I'd obviously settle for conference only, hell I'll settle for anything..

I've all but assumed the ship is sailing on my high school basketball season - if the girls are playing volleyball in masks, and many soccer teams are wearing masks to play - indoor basketball seems very risky.

My school is back to in-person hybrid learning but I wager it lasts a week or two and then we are back out. Half of the other schools around us are currently out or just were out and are now returning. We just had an additional half dozen students test positive - but we were on remote learning at the time so it doesn't matter. The one thing we have going for us is that all positive students have been due to community spread not the school itself.

The fact we just blindly think we're getting college basketball is very bold. I am personally shocked that football has done as well as it has, truly am. Outdoor sports vs. indoor sports are two completely different ballgames.

Definitely not promising, hopefully the team isolates as much as possible.

Just realized that there's a chance UConn might not have to leave the state for any OOC games. If that's the case, that's freakin' brilliant.

There are recruiting benefits of playing in Florida. How about UCF or USF?

Please no! I dont want this team anywhere near that craphole state.

Wow they are only playing football in Alabama and Indiana? Didn't know they moved Syracuse and the Carrier Dome out of NY. Must of missed it.

No, it's just that no one cares about Syracuse football.

really hope we get to play USC in the legends classic. BYU would be preferable to Vandy in the other game but as long as we got to play USC i wouldnt really care.

Those 2 plus NC State make for 3 of the 7 OOC games. Sacred Heart and CCSU are mentioned in the article below. hopefully the remaining 2 arent cupcakes.

No UConn games at XL Center until fall of 2021; Sacred Heart, BYU emerge as possible nonconference opponents for men’s basketball with Big East scheduling still taking shape

The UConn men’s basketball team can begin practicing next Wednesday. The Huskies can play their first game as soon as Nov. 25, according to the NCAA. Not much more is certain regarding the sc…
