Nobody will complain about our non-conference schedule being weak next year.

i like it. az will be good next year but not out of this world good. will be a quality ooc game for us.

 

[hooskies]

Jeez, will practically be a home game for them...wouldve much rather played a team like Kansas.

 

[Dann]

not really^ its like a special guest thing only. there will be more az fans than uconn, but there will barely be any of either...

Not a home game. Very limited invites. UConn will have an advantage because Storrs is closer to the ocean than Tucson.

Ah i see, still really psyched about the opportunity - pretty radical idea.

Arizona will have an excellent class of recruits next season. This will be a great game. And maybe the PAC decides we should continue the series and gives UConn an invite.

This game is on my bucket list...

Oh dear... we better win. If we don't we'll never hear the end of it from every basketball fan west of Kentucky about the east coast bias.

Good that should be a win. Arizona has never beaten us... i think we are 5 - 0 against them.

 

[Scot-e]

They will be looking for blood in this game. ^ No bad mojo.

You must drink an RR for the next forty days for this.

I rather play this game in 2011 then 2012, we could be really young in two years if lamb, ao and drummond jump to the nba

I'm going to try and make this (SF Bay Area), but I'm not going to get my hopes up.

Your best shot is to join the Navy now. There are no public tickets. Almost all the 7000ish seats are for military folks.

We need to set up a yearly series with Arizona starting in 2013. I think it'd be a great rivalry. West Coast vs. East Coast. Arizona will be one of the best programs now the next 10 years and we will always be there. Would be fun if we played them every year.
