SUPER BOWL 2012

The three games that UConn men’s basketball coach Jim Calhoun will miss due to suspension are against three of the weaker teams in the Big East Conference.



As a result of NCAA violations in the recruitment of Nate Miles, Calhoun must sit out the Huskies’ first three Big East games this season. Those three games will be at South Florida on Dec. 28, at home at the XL Center against St. John’s on New Year’s Eve and at Seton Hall on Jan. 3.



The Huskies’ full schedule was released on Wednesday, though starting times of several games remain to be determined.



UConn will play a pair of ESPN Big Monday games on the road: at Louisville on Feb. 6 and at Villanova on Feb. 20. The Huskies will also host Syracuse in an ESPN Gameday battle at Gampel Pavilion on Feb. 25. UConn will also travel to Syracuse on Feb. 11, making this the first season that UConn and Syracuse have played home-and-home in the regular season since 2006-07.



It should also be noted the the unveiling of the 2011 national championship banner will preced UConn's regular-season opener on Nov. 11 at Gampel against Columbia.



And you read correctly: UConn’s game at Notre Dame on Jan. 14, which will be televised by espn2, will start at 11 a.m. in order to avoid bumping heads with NFL playoff games.
