DePaul's Doug Bruno on playing #UConn next season: "It is 1 of games I like to play because you are testing yourself against best."

And Rutgers too, per John A's blog:

Rutgers-UConn set
Rutgers and UConn have agreed to resume their season series in a non-conference format beginning next season in Connecticut. The original plan to play next season at Madison Square Garden to Barclays Center in Brooklyn has fallen through.

Geno is doing a nice job of setting up quality OOC opponents...much needed imo.
I am not sure of the date but I think we host South Carolina on Dec. 23...2 days after the DePaul game....the first of a home/home series with the Gamecocks. Hmm...wonder if A'ja Wilson will be in the building...and if she is...what color uniform she will be wearing.


Hmmm#2: since the Nebraska coach has been incredibly gracious in her remarks
about UConn in Lincoln, maybe Geno should chat her up and arrange a home/home with Nebraska. They have recently been a solid team. I would hope that we can schedule some quality OOC games not just in November/December/January but in February as well. I know that some schools try to avoid OOC games during the conference games but I would think some would enjoy a brief respite from their conference games and play an elite OOC team for a change of pace. UConn at Nebraska next year would sell out the joint, I bet...a good opportunity for both teams to grow.

Great point. I'd like to see that happen. In think the 2015-16 OOC schedule is full, so it would have to wait until the 2016-17 season.

Nothing like a good kicking by UCONN to humble your team and get a view on what you need to do to get ready for March. I hope they get it done.
