Wow! That’ll get the troops ready! Let’s hope the BE steps up as well.

Heckuva coach. I hear he has drills for everything. Word is he was the brains behind Coach Summitt's offense.

Love that schedule! Would love to see a game against Iowa, LSU, Stanford, or Duke—the latter two mainly for the nostalgia (plus the recent games against them were fun to watch).

I'm not sure anything is confirmed with Tennessee, would be good considering the history, their team hasn't been impressive but they will likely be solid with PortalU.

The SEC team i would rather have UConn face is LSU just for the Mulkey-Geno match. Two great historic wbb coaches that have been competitive. Whenever Geno discusses the Baylor-Uconn series of old, he talks positively about the Baylor fans.

Do you think Tara would want to schedule us. Seems she's over playing any series with GA and the squad.

 

[enigmatic]

I would love to add LSU, Iowa, and Stanford to the OOC schedule.

Iowa, yes please. LSU, no, thank you.

They should put tOSU on there too

 

[bballnut90]

Really loaded schedule. SC/ND should be excellent next year. NC/Tennessee/Maryland/Texas/Louisville/NC State all have potential to be top 10 too. Would love to see an Iowa/UCONN match up, it'd draw in a ton of eyes to see Paige/Caitlin. The game this year (without Paige) was phenomenal.

 

[Boreifs]

The open date will most likely be filled with an Aalijah homecoming game.

 

[Forego]

I could have sworn that UConn and Ohio State agreed to schedule a four game home and home series starting next year. I recall that only because I thought a couple of football games should be bundled into the deal.

 

[Forego]

My bad. It is Louisville not tOSU.

 

[Geew1992]

I thought the UConn Tennessee series was done??

 

[meyers7]

Tennessee Basketball Authority, Coach Jumper’s team.

Was gonna go with Thompson Bowling Arena, but I like yours better.

I thought the UConn Tennessee series was done??

Let's hope.

Is it correct that we only have 18 games inside the conference next year?

OOC sked looks great!

Where is that early season tourney being played?

 

[hoopsfan22]

They're still a good team that made as deep a run in the NCAA tourney as we did, a name brand, play in a power conference, and in a different part of the country from us. There is still plenty of value in playing them.

I disagree with the schedule of out of conference teams listed above in addition to inconference schedule of Big East Teams especially if they are going to be spaced as they were this year. That is too much pressure for the personnel to endure and leaves no room for injuries and unforcasted events that will not allow the opitimum team to be on the floor.

These recruits should not be looked at as the miracles to place UConn above other programs. In most cases these miracle recruits sit on the bench and languish away contributing very little. What happened to Ayanna Patterson and Amari Debarry? What a waste when these young women would be starters or backups in other programs. And, yet when they try to contribute, the results are less than satisfactory.

Couple of interesting factoids, Paige and Azzi have been missing in action for the last two years and when Azzi has been available, everyone thinks that every basket is going to go in and that is not the case. She is not a Caitlan Clark or a Maddy Siecrest who can do this in almost every game. And, who is to say that these two women can ever play effectively again and not have other injuries to their legs that will eliminate them for another year. Paige is becoming he greatest basketball player that never played. And, Carolyn may be theoretically finished. Did not anyone see her holding her head during the game with Ohio State while on the floor trying to play.

I would prefer an easier schedule that allows the team to come together and allow them to learn to play basketball the way Geno wants them to play. Beating these kids to ground with that schedule listed above does not necessarily prepare them for adversity as it breaks the team down.

I know that there those that have voiced approval of the schedule above and I think that there are some that who would like to see a more modest schedul. The kind of schedule above is for a team like of the Breanna Stewart years. Not now. They are not even close.

Notre Dame, UNC, Louisville, NC State?

Tell me UConn is joining the ACC without telling me UConn is joining the ACC. ;-)

Add UCLA and The SC Trojans, and you’ll have one heck of a preseason schedule. Every UConn preseason schedule should include either west coast Bahama/Virgin Islands swing.

That's a hard pass
