UConnWBB at Maryland, Sunday Dec 11

[UConnCat]

I mentioned in an earlier thread that the Huskies will likely play at Maryland during the upcoming season. Here it is. The reference to College Park is that UConn Baseball defeated the #1 (regional) seed Maryland last night to advance to the NCAA Super Regionals.

The Schedule is shaping up nicely!

 

[Ozimoto]

A gift for me too. A trip to College Park is about as easy as I can get for seeing a game. Happy! Happy! Joy! Joy!

This would make it complete no? or do we have one more spot?

I really want Stanford back on our schedule at some point.

Some @stamfordhusky here know the NCAA rules better than I do but I believe UConnWBB is allowed 2 more games.

The NCAA rules allows "29 contests (games or scrimmages) and one qualifying regular-season multiple-team event (see Bylaw 17.4.5.2.1) that does not exceed two contests per team." I think a private scrimmage against another Div 1 team is exempt from the 29 contests.

Not a soft spot anywhere in the schedule so far. I like it. Every one of those teams should make the tournament. They all did last year. We won't have to wait 3-4 games into the season for a formidable opponent to see what we’ve got. We’ll get one coming out of the gate.

Glad to see Geno getting Paige a homecoming game in case she turns pro after this season.

This was not scheduled as a homecoming game for Paige. This series was supposed to start 2 years ago but was delayed because of Covid. I'm not sure where Paige's father lives but UConn plays at Georgetown every year.

The Terps will also play South Carolina at home. That's two losses before the season even started before the Terps.

Maybe, but you have to beat the best if you want to be the best. From my perspective Maryland is showing its commitment to compete at the highest level.

Hush your mouth!

I believe that Bob lives in Clarksburg, MD.

The OC schedule has certainly stepped up this year. I hope we can keep a healthy team on the hardwood this year and the newbies surprise us with their contributions.

If they’re going to organize a homecoming game for Paige, Geno is calling Lindsay Whaley and getting them to Minnesota.

And The Barn will sell out.

Hell, they could move it to the Target center and it would sell out, too.

I believe that a UConn - Stanford matchup is tentatively scheduled for the Geno Invitational (aka: The Final Four).

 

[Bald Husky]

This is going to be the most challenging schedule that we have had in years. Five of our opponents are in the "way too early top 10 ", and if we end up playing Iowa in the PK classic, it will be 6. That leaves only 3 teams in the top ten that we will not be playing. This is great, great, great, I love it. I'm just wondering why Louisville is not on the schedule, Jeff has always liked playing us, and I actually am a fan of his. Hopefully its just a pause and they will be on our schedule next year. On second thought, there may not be room unless we play them in the Hall of Fame game.

Excellent news! As a DMV resident, the only closer game for me would be Georgetown! Fingers crossed no Covid-cancelation next season for that Georgetown game in DC.
