UConn women’s basketball opponent preview: The contenders

Despite the shift to the Big East, the best teams on UConn women’s basketball’s 2020-21 schedule is still highlighted by their non-conference slate. The Huskies are set to face three top-10 opponents in Louisville, Baylor and South Carolina —- and will likely add a fourth with Mississippi State if both teams’ first games go as planned during the opening weekend of the season. In an improvement from the AAC, two Big East teams do make the honorable mentions here.

The Contenders:

2019-20 record: 27-6, finished at No. 9 in the AP poll

This game is not set in stone, but barring a monumental upset from Quinnipiac or Maine, the Huskies should face the No.
