You can blame Husker fans for this 2 game series. Had we not put 18,000+ in PBA two years ago when U Conn played here in the sweet 16 these games probably wouldn't be happening. I like the fact that we're going to their place first. Going to be a tough one but we'll gain a ton of experience for our young ones! Just hope everyone's healthy by the time we have to face them in November!

 

Kudo's to Yori for taking a chance on a big time opponent, only good can come out of a match-up like this!

 

Looks like that Australia trip was scheduled at the right time! Should help us get a little bit of continuity under our belt before November comes around! knock on wood!

I really like that we are playing at UConn with our mostly young team this season. What a tremendous experience for them to learn from and build upon. I'm certain the coaches will also come away from that game with some ideas. No matter what the final score will be, I only see positive things for the players and coaches coming from that game.

Don't you suppose Geno would like to play some different teams? The conference they are in is not challenging to them at all, and they play Stanford and ND every year already. We have had some recent consistent success and have some high quality recruits - it's time to take the next step and be a top 10 presence. I hope we schedule UConn every year! In fact, let's get them in the Big 10! Ok - that's a reach.

You can't be the best unless you play (and beat) the best.

This made my day seeing this this morning in the news!!!! I get to watch my favorite 2 teams play against each other finally... All though I don't see this being a close game it will still be sweet.... Now I wont have to travel a few states away to watch UCONN play anymore!!!

Can't hurt for these young players to see how they stack up against the best team in the NCAA.. And you have to think future recruits will be watching that game also. I like it.
