The AAC will be no issue in UConn's future greatness. No problem getting more high profile games on the schedule.STORRS, Conn. - The UConn men’s basketball program announced today that it has agreed to home-and-home series with Ohio State and Arizona, which will stretch over the next four seasons.
Ohio State, out of the Big Ten, and Arizona, out of the Pac-12, are perennial Top 25 programs and fixtures in the NCAA Tournament. Each has had memorable games against UConn in the past.
The series against Ohio State will begin in the 2015-16 season in Connecticut, with Huskies visiting Columbus the following season in 2016-17. Both games will be held during December.
UConn will travel to Tucson to play Arizona in the McKale Center during the 2017-18 season, and the Wildcats will return the game in Connecticut in 2018-19. Again, both games are tentatively set for December.
I'll believe the Syracuse when they're actually tipping off. Boeheim is never going to play UConnClears Cleaver said:Kevin Ollie said today that Uconn will playing a two game series with Georgetown starting in 2016 and is close to finalizing a deal to play Syracuse sometime in the future.
This article says they've proposed playing Cuse at the Garden. It also says they're most likely playing in the Battle4Atlantis tournament next year with Gonzaga and ironically Cuse.Dan Murfman said:I'll believe the Syracuse when they're actually tipping off. Boeheim is never going to play UConn

Briscoe was not seriously considering UConn. If they miss out on Stone, I'll be disappointed.Clears Cleaver said:Ollie struck out on three targets today. Diamond Stone is now a must-get and they have one open schollie now
What no-show classes did Sean Williams take at BC to stay eligible?BigSoxFan said:UConn's difficult academic requirements are clearly scaring away all the top recruits.
Well UConn needs all the help they can get so playing WVU will help their RPI in the long run and beating BCU in basketball is just plain boring.BigSoxFan said:As Lee Corso would say, "not so fast my friends!" BC hanging tough...for now.

December games don't matter around here. We're used to winning in March. Wake me up then.DukeSox said:Lollie, y'all are hilarious with how little discussion there is in this thread now. Crickets is right. Fair weather.

I'm surprised you don't have the battered wife syndrome that most Duke fans have when they see the word UConn.DukeSox said:Lollie, y'all are hilarious with how little discussion there is in this thread now. Crickets is right. Fair weather.
I agree on for the most part, Brimah's future depends on his ability to learn how to rebound but he doesn't have a nose for the ball. I'm worried about how that develops.Clears Cleaver said:Ehhh, they are awful right now, playing with seven kids, four of whom never played 10 minutes in a game. The bigger issue is that they don't seem particularly tough or motivated. I think Purvis and Calhoun are disasters for chemistry, but both are needed on the court. UConn ahs horrendous spacing on offense and no one who can knock down a shot currently.
reality is that they have one NBA player in Hamilton and maybe two guys who could be 10th men in Brimah and Boatright (doubtful he makes the NBA).
The AAC is so terrible that it is likely a one or two bid conference. After UConn loses to Duke and Florida and at Stanford, they have to win the conference tourney to make the NCAAs
