Fast Break Pod: Preparing for the pre-season hype

We discuss the reigning national champions' full schedule release as well as the Gampel-XL split, Huskies in the NBA, and expectations for this season.

In this episode, Aman and Patrick start with a breakdown of the UConn men’s basketball schedule. With practice starting, First Night on the horizon, a recent visit from a No. 1 recruit, and the season opener a month away, we’ve got a lot to talk about!

In addition to highlighting visit-worthy road games and primetime contests, we also review the non-con slate, which features road games against perennial contenders Kansas and Gonzaga along with dates at Madison Square Garden against historic powers Indiana and North Carolina.

The home out-of-conference games could be more entertaining, but they’ve got multiple trips to MSG to make up for it and the Big East schedule offers lots to chew on, including a primetime Gampel game against Villanova and opportunities to see Rick Pitino and Ed Cooley in their new jobs.

We also couldn't help but discuss the Cooper Flagg visit, along with expectations for this season and updates on the Huskies in the NBA. Enjoy!
