Who said you can never go home again? Heading into Hartford in January to play G-town. Will feel like home to me.

We'll generally schedule one offs to get a player a game near his hometown. These days, unless it's a tournament, home and homes are almost a requirement.

Living in Wisconsin I'm hoping we can schedule one of those one-offs against Marquette next year to get Phil a home game for his senior season and Diamond a home game for his likely one season in Storrs :)

How can someone writing about college basketball for Sports Illustrated think that's accurate?

I don't know if it's the same for other schools, but the seeminly numerous rewritten narratives concerning UCONN over the years really piss me off. I'm sure my homer glasses are biasing my perception, but still.

Au contraire! Albie Mouring out of the Maryland burbs, Rudy and Scoe out of B'more, and last but certainly not least Antric Klaiber out of Alexandria.

You'd think our biggest rivals would be at least as eager to play us again as is mid-level, non-rival Georgetown.

You know, it's kind of sad that Cuse is our biggest rival.

Looking up and confirming that Georgetown was upper-mid-level really made it stand out how much UConn has carried the conference. Since the modern era, the Old Big East is tied with the SEC in second for championships (7; ACC has like 11). UConn has 4 of those 7 and 4 of the last 5.

Nice. Now that I think about it, Willie McCloud might have something to say about this as well.

Turning down a home and home with Cuse because the return game wouldn't be played in MSG should result in the immediate firing of Warde Manuel.

I'd really like to see us schedule another game in Boston. Maybe a 3 game series with ND. One home, one in ND, one in Boston.

I'd love to see a series with Louisville, maybe the third game in DC

....after Harrell is gone.

@GavinKeefe: Ollie said UConn is trying to finalize a meeting with Syracuse "down the road."

Talking about meeting in the Battle for Atlantis I imagine... not sure how much school-school negotiation goes on in setting the winter tournaments up

Pretty sure he's talking about a separate series.

That's a great idea. When was the last time we played there? Was the Memphis game there back in 06 or 07? I'm pretty sure we played gonzaga there with the return in Seattle. cant remember when that was but that was an interesting not home but kind of home and not home but kind of home series.

I'm sorry but I don't think UConn playing mid majors helps at all. The nonconference schedule should be of P5 teams. Scheduling old BE foes who are not P5 sends a signal that UConn is still with them. Not a single BE school supported UCon during the APR debacle. I would not play them. Play other P5 schools only from any league.

This makes no sense. By this logic, we would be better off playing Rutgers or Penn State than Georgetown. I understand the bitterness, but don't make it seem like it's anything else.

Well, their "mid-major" conference got a 2 and a 3 seed. Our league champ got a 4.

Now, we won the whole shebang, but Georgetown only helps, and denigrating the Big East--when our conference is a mess--is ridiculous.

I want Cuse. Period. I want to embarrass them. I want to watch their bitter cheater of a head coach, pedophile assistant and illiterate players walk off the court in shame.
