The schedule was released today as expected. No big surprises. I did think the Rhode Island and South Carolina games would be switched since UConn has tended to play two home games in the days before New Year's in recent years.

There will be plenty of frequent flyer miles to be accrued with eight road games in a span of 43 days in January and February. The other side of the equation is that the Feb. 7 game at Marquette will be the last game outside of New England or the tri-state area until the NCAA tournament.
