UConn's 23-24 Non-Con Schedule

Home:
  • Ball State
  • Dayton
  • Louisville
  • Notre Dame
  • Maryland

Away:
  • Minnesota (12/19, PB homecoming game)
  • NC State
  • South Carolina
  • Texas

Neutral:
  • Cayman Island Classic (11/24-25, 2 games, not expected to play LSU or VT)
  • North Carolina (at Mohegan Sun)
  • AE homecoming game (TBD)

Big East being cut from 20 games to 18 and no Tennessee this season
 


Adamec's story on the schedule. No LSU or VTech in the Cayman Islands. Pitt was a potential opponent in Canada but maybe not now with the coaching change. Hopefully a better opponent. With talent coming out of Canada I'd think there would be teams looking for exposure north of the border.

No LadyVols! Yay. Renewed the series and UConn won all 4 games.

Aubrey gets one every time UConn plays at Seton Hall!

Since when is Jersey City, New Jersey near Ossining, New York?? (If you would have said Marist College, or Iona University, or even Fordham University, then I would say you were correct).
 
Very difficult schedule. I would hope Geno would ease up a bit after the injury/attrition disaster the last 2 years. And, to be frank, thats what it was - a disaster. I get it - Geno/UConn wants to be visible and schedule the best. But, this schedule benefits Geno/UConn's AD more than the players' well-being. Also, Geno should want his team peaking in March and not Dec./Jan. For the last 10 years or so, it's been the opposite.

It was tongue-in-cheek. Aubrey's best games in the UConn jersey have occurred playing at Seton Hall's gym. She treats it like her home court.
 
Playing Tennessee reminded me of when UConn men started playing UMass again. Nobody barely anyone cared. They stopped playing again, no clamor to resume.

They are likely trying to find a US D1 team willing to play one game in Canada and petition the NCAA for a waiver to make it happen. But with Uconn signing on for a Cayman Islands tourney, it looks a little less likely. Maybe they talk to schools on the shores of the great lakes? Buffalo?

Buffalo is a heck of a drive, 4 hours and an international border. Plus you'd have the fun time of the QEW through Toronto- not fun. Syracuse would be half the drive.

Syracuse wouldn't even give Stewie a home game. I don't know if Geno holds a grudge, but I sure do.

2023 and 2024 season NC schedule tells me how good Geno thinks this team can be. He is challenging them. That's what coming to UConn is all about.

Hoops, that's water under the bridge now. There's a new Sheriff in town. Syracuse's refusal to host a homecoming game for Breanna Stewart in 2016 was courtesy of their former head coach Quintin Hillsman, not the school. In August 2021, Hillsman resigned from his position as the Syracuse University women's basketball head coach after allegations of misconduct. Any animosity that might have been had for Hillsman was satisfied later that year when UConn destroyed Syracuse in the NCAAT championship game 82-51 to win #11.

Felisha Legette-Jack is the current head coach of Syracuse University's women's basketball team. She previously served as the head coach at the University at Buffalo, Indiana University, and Hofstra University's women's basketball teams. She was hired to replace Hillsman a week or two after his departure. She comes in with a clean slate, and should not be held accountable for any errors in judgment by Hillsman. :cool:

Let's play and practice more safely. It's always been trumpeted, "Uconn's practices are harder than their games!" Then, Paige, among others is out for season from an Unsupervised? pickup game? There has to be a better way. Not saying I know what that would be, but something. Now that LSU's nonconference schedule is off the hook, let's scientifically ease up a little. Let some of the bench get beat up. They are not limping.

Reminds me years ago I was at a restaurant/buffet? and there obviously a men's basketball team eating there (during March Madness time). I asked them where they were from. They replied UNC. In my head I was like, "no you're not, they aren't playing around here". Turns out they were UNC-Charlotte.

I wanted to tell them they can't go around calling themselves UNC. They're UNC-Charlotte.....BIG difference. But I just told them good luck. :cool:

I was a big Celtics fan in the '80s and Cedric Maxwell went to UNC Charlotte. I met him years ago in the media cafeteria at the Garden prior to one of his radio broadcasts. I would bet there are plenty of Tar Heels who wished they had Cornbread's career, including an NBA Finals MVP.

I like Felisha Legette-Jack. Even though she had thoughts of ”kidnapping” some of the Huskies a few years ago!
