Message: [QUOTE="MarkyMark, post: 4648133, member: 12210"] Regarding Uconn's non-conference scheduling over the last 2-3 years, I think (opinion) Penders has leaned more toward the volume approach on wins rather than loading up SOS. Remember in 2019 they opened up with Louisville who was in top 5 then played Charleston, Coastal, Illinois (were good then), Virginia, Michigan St etc. It was a true gauntlet. And they weren't even in the Big East yet. That AAC schedule was brutal too. Looks like they are going with the lower degree of difficulty/high execution approach (wins). Seems to be working in terms of getting into the tourney but let's see if the next step is obtained. Last year's seeding and placement was troubling but one year doesn't make a trend. My point is there seems to be a change in approach to non-conference scheduling that's occurred recently and there are pluses and minuses. If this has been raised previously apologize for the repeat.
