Who Do You Want To See UConn Play Next Season?

tenesse.. Oregon, Louisville, Arizona,SC , Stanford, Minnesota, Texas
 
So, do you want a strong OOC schedule or not?
I believe he does, but starting out with a top team can be tough to navigate. It doesn't have to be a cupcake, but it doesn't hurt to get a little consistency going before we challenge the top dogs. Two games would be fine, even one if we have to. Point is, Geno needs to see what he has before entering the big time wars.
 
If possible; I would love to see Iowa and Minnesota on our schedules for the next three years. Clark is an awesome player and it would be great for the sport to have them compete against UConn. Have Minnesota do a two for one with UConn. Paige gets to play at home twice. Other than that games get boring playing the same out of conference teams even though I know that they are needed.
 
Whoever wants to play us. I really would like to see our program get something going with UCLA, Gonzaga, Fresno State, and maybe Georgia.
 
In an ideal world:

South Carolina, Stanford, Baylor, Maryland, Louisville, NC State, Iowa, Oregon, Syracuse, Notre Dame

This gets us to play the top 6 other teams on paper, the best guard in Clark, strong interior players Prince and Cardoso, and the satisfaction of handing ND another loss. 10 OOC, 20 Big East, 3 BET, 6 NCAAT - 39 total.

It is only the very first game that I think should be a pushover. We have not lost back to back games since I think 1993. It is a remarkable record I would like to keep intact. Every year we do not win a championship, we start the season with a one game losing streak like 63 other team in the tournament. Lose your first game of the season and that streak is gone. So your first highlighted portion is my main theme and the first game, and only the first game, is an exception to that.
No, I don't agree with that. Don't schedule a cupcake just to keep the streak alive. No one is ever going to come close anyhow. Someone will double the 56 game hitting streak before UCONN's no back-to-back losses is broken. Scheduling a cupcake kind of diminishes the streak. Plus think about it, would you like the streak ended by a "cupcake" or a really good team?
 
Exhibition games can only be against Div II and Div III opponents, it can not be a Div I team.
I think there is an exception to the rule - must be closed gym, no score kept. In effect, a glorified scrimmage with no witnesses. Can't remember who did one of these when some preseason game fell through.
 
STANFORD...STANFORD...STANFORD

Arizona. I do not care that they are losing Aari. they have a very good recruiting class already signed and could get more based on almost winning the championship, Most importantly, they have a great, great coach.

I would love that, I'm an hour and change away, but wouldn't do anything to help UConn to be honest.

it would be great for High Point to get a near sellout in its first game in the new den :) It would help "grow the sport" in Central NC, and we are all about growing the sport. :cool:

Thanks for the feedback. Is this a NCAA rule/policy, a BE rule and/or UConn polcy?

Iowa, Arizona, Stanford, South Carolina, Tenn., ND, Baylor, Oregon!
 
Arizona graduates too many but, yes, play more PAC-12 teams to counteract Big East travesties.
iirc, the "way too early" 2021 top 25 didn't even include UofA.
