UConn to Play Tenn Again in 2020

[Mlb0814]

Any idea what’s going on?

quite the tease ... not sure it's even connected with UCONN tho? Even though he is the WBB beat writer for us, his wording is broad/vague

UConn v. Tennessee... 2018

Let's do it.

Sure thing. Once the Tennessee administration issues an apology to Maya Moore and her family for how they treated her when she chose UCONN (which was terrible), I say let's do it. Of course, until that happens, Geno will NEVER schedule Tennessee. He's the one who called for the apology, by the way.

Idk, my experience is that when writers make tweets like this the eventual news usually ends up being underwhelming.

If it is tall with good moves underneath and runs like a gazelle I'm interested. But it just might be 1 shot and a beer too many for Ye Olde Beat Writer.

maybe he is saying UConn has not has a commit for months, now Fudd, Horston and Boston are all committing as a package. Hope springs eternal.

Agree, but UConn/Evil Empire game definitely fits the post.

Yeah.

He says there's no change to UConn staff or team, so that rules those out.

Hard to think of something seismic UConn related that doesnt involve a coaching change or transfer. A Tenn game is the one thing that would fit.

"That hasn't happened in a long time."

I'm with @EricLA though, Geno and the school should stick with the apology requirement.

 

[j66kicker]

“UConn joins the ACC for BB only” would qualify...

 

[UCBaller2012]

Holly Rowe tweeted about it too saying it is amazing.

 

[Monte]

Isn't it seismic that they are NOT ranked #1 as the season approaches?

 

[Vowelguy]

No. He says not ACC.

UConn v. Tennessee... 2018

Kudos on pegging this. Gotta be it.

If it is UConn v Tennessee, it'd have to be 2019. Schedule's already set for this year

I'm guessing it is either conference alignment or conference rules related.

It's probably about that 7'6" girl from Russia coming in next year.

I just saw this.

What about UCONN rejoins the Big East in everything but football. Would that be considered "amazing?"

[UConnCat]

Adamec says it's about playing Tenn.

Problem is the Big East is now the big east and though the exhausting travel would abate, money issues would remain.

 

[Vowelguy]

There are only so many games one can play against top tier teams like ND, Louisville, Baylor, So Carolina.
