For those who missed here's a press release of the:
2016-17..Non-conference Schedule..
Nothing we hadn't heard about or anything to get super excited about. And I wish the new Uconn AD, would spare us using words like:
" A rematch against a 2016 Final Four participant in Madison Square Garden, a holiday tournament against some of the finest basketball programs in the country, and a home game against a Power Five opponent highlight the non-conference portion of the 2016-17 UConn men’s basketball schedule, announced Thursday by the school.
To try to hype a home game with Auburn as a P-5 for marketing purposes in basketball shows that you have done nothing but screwed the pooch with the home portion. I would rather play one of our old Big East rivals like Providence or Nova that we have some history with. Rather than try to hype a mediocre SEC BB program that would give some mid-majors a bad name. They do have Bruce Pearl but they got worse last year.
Though I'll really miss #351 Central CT & # 314 Maine.... ....I did like that they tried to get teams with recent success and most that had RPI's below 200 last year.... to try and make up for those four (200+ RPI) AAC bottom feeders that Uconn is forced to play.
