UConn HuskiesJust like they did during the 2009-10 season, the two-time defending national champion UConn Huskies women’s basketball team will face the Notre Dame Fightin’ Irish twice during the upcoming 2010-11 season. In previous years, the Huskies had faced Rutgers twice.

The Big East also released the home/away opponents for the 2010-11 women’s basketball season and here’s how it breaks down for the UConn women:

Home – Notre Dame, DePaul, Louisville, Marquette, Pittsburgh, Seton Hall, Syracuse, Villanova

Away – Notre Dame, Cincinnati, Georgetown, Providence, Rutgers, St. John’s, USF, West Virginia.

If you’d like to see how the rest of the league breaks down, head over to the Big East Women’s Basketball website.

I would expect the full 2010-11 UConn Huskies women’s basketball schedule to be released in late August or early September.
