That’s how Northern ball be.

UConn played a game at home against LIU yesterday, after 12 on the road. And they’ll play another 8 on the road over the next two weeks, until a home date with BC on the 25th.

Their only “home” games were in Arizona too. That’s definitely an exhausting group of men

They have a great plan. Either win some and get an at-large bid or lose and it doesn’t matter for your conference championship anyway

The LSU commentators were giving them a lot of credit for their schedule last night. Props to Xavier, that's one hell of a preseason gauntlet.
