Think we look for another team or?

I bet we just use the extra practice time. Hurley has expressed he really wanted it

 

[Husk04ies]

Urghhh damn it!

 

[Mazhude]

Hold on to your hats, this is going to be a wild winter of basketball...

If the schedule works you can just play both BYU and USC. Same with the others.

 

[huskyfan224]

So dumb

 

[ucawn]

If a 4th team isn’t found I guess we’ll just play 2 non conference games before NC State on Saturday.

Seems like they could make that work, but would have to extend (at least) a day?

 

[Marat]

It's like who's got next . Anyone ? Crazy season...

 

[UConnSwag11]

Quinnipiac should fill in

Based on Hurleys post game press conference after Hartford, unless a cupcake comes calling, I agree he would probably just choose to practice until the NC state game Saturday.
Obviously as a fan I would love nothing more than to see a last minute opponent or the opportunity to play both BYU and USC, but would understand from DH’s perspective if he didn’t push for that and withdrew himself. Unless of course that press conference was just coach speak!

I know what Hurley said, but we are going to be lucky to get 25 games in this winter if the season isn't cancelled altogether. He really shouldn't pass up opportunities to play.

Andy Katz reported yesterday that phones were buzzing at Mohegan with teams wanting to get in. They'll find a 4th. Just a matter of time here.

Which coach was looking for a game on Twitter?

Mike Brey Notre Dame

Your team is at the mercy of the opponent. If UConn just practices on the 1st and decides to skip tge game on the 3rd, waiting for NC St .... what if NC St tests positive? Need to play whenever you can. DON'T delay.

 

[RayRay]

Notre dame would be awesome, let’s get it!

the problem is that game against NC State on Saturday isn’t guaranteed to happen either.

So dumb

Care to expand on what you feel is "So dumb"

Notre Dame was originally supposed to be in the tournament and pulled out. Idk if the tournament would want them back in - out of spite.

Looking around the Northeast both Rutgers and Cuse are off all week...

O.K. @Palatine, this is news about the schedule. Now you can ask whether the games will be going on this week.

Whoever in the athletic department does the scheduling for the men's basketball team is going to earn their salary this year. Scheduling on the fly.

The reality is you play for the NCAA tournament, if there is one, and the best way to get there is to get as many games under your belt as you can. Practice is good and all, but games are better, and given the fact that you can't be assured you can play against the teams that are actually on your schedule, you play as often as you possibly can.

I was about to post the same thing. I think a lot of coaches have figured this out, and are trying to cram games in where they can.

Edit: I did a quick scan of the standings, and going into today, there are about 100 D1 teams that have not played a game yet. We have just got to play when we can play.
