We won't know till we see the full schedule with tv partners and times but something to consider now partnering with NBC is the Olympics go from Feb 6-22

Relatively speaking NBC only has a tiny piece. Although I am now wondering what sport Fanta is calling. Please tell me it is curling as he is a big bowling guy (and the boredom of watching curling next to Fanta's enthusiasm would make for a humorous contrast).

Last year vs. St Johns MSG was like 75% Johnny fans. Definitely not a home game at all anymore.

Front runners. Brash and vocal talking about their parade route before the tourney started last year. We think Pitino is a jerk and they don’t like Hurley, but these are not the only good teams this year.
But the second Pitino is gone and they return to crap their fan Garden advantage will fade.

Jonnie’s faithful have marked their calendar for awhile with that one. That will not be a UConn crowd.

Yeah agree they won’t sustain their success and attendance, but that game last year and the Big East Tournament shocked me at how the casual fan shows up for them.

I guess it’s the “new thing” in the city. You ask any of their newer fans who Steve Lavin is they say “that’s my barber.”

You got Spike out there, you have NY in a general drought of winning.

I don’t rush to call them fairweather or casual - it’s hard to go out of your way for a chronic loser. I’m sure a good % of the UConn fanbase would fall off on being present if they went into a 25 year swoon. People have better things to do in life. It doesn’t mean they don’t have pride. Thank god for StJ right now as if not for them, the BE might be a giant bore.
 
We go at them with Alex, Solo, Tarris, Ross and Stew who played together, know each other, have BBall chemistry and they only have Ejiofor. Yeah they have lots of new talent as we do but is that going to be a factor?

Personally think the single biggest advantage they’ll have outside of Zubi being a beast is their flex at the 4 with Mitchell/Hopkins. Mitchell is a freak physically at the 4 and a great defender. It’s going to be interesting to see how Pitino splits their minutes, or if he plays Hopkins at the 3 at times.

That 6 game stretch is bonkers and is must watch TV for every Husky fan.
I see us going 6-0 with Florida being the toughest matchup with Condon coming back and Fland committing. But the staff has 1 week of prep before that game and they are the best at coming up with a game plan.

What'll be the best strategy to beat Florida and their massive frontline which also includes their 7'9" skyscraper Jean Olivier?

He's a walk on so pretty easy strategy, look at him on the bench as we drain 3's in front of him

I’m curious to see how Floridas new backcourt fits in with the team. They had dependable shot makers last year which carried them to the title. How reliable will Fland, Lee and the Browns be this year ? Can Lee and AJ Brown make the jump up to the SEC and sustain their past production game after game ? This backcourt should take a step backward compared to last years backcourt.

But, I think the key to our game with them will be the frontcourt play. They have a big, talented trio with Condon, Haugh and Chinyelu who like to rebound and control the rim. Can we keep them off the glass and limit second chance points and register a plus rebounding game ? Silas will be a big add this year and we may see Jaylin playing a lot of minutes at the three in this game to give us more size.
Very confident that our shooting will be much better than it was in last years matchup.
