Best schedule ever?

Could be.

The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women’s basketball team announced its 2016-17 schedule Tuesday, with six games against 2016 NCAA tournament teams and five others that competed in the Women’s National Invitation Tournament.

The Mocs, who finished 24-8 last season, have 13 home dates on their schedule, highlighted by their home opener against Florida on Nov. 14, a game against Indiana three days later and a Dec. 27 game against Notre Dame. Wisconsin-Green Bay, which has won 18 straight Horizon League championships, is also on the home slate.

The nonconference road games include the season opener against Rutgers on Nov. 11 and a game against four-time defending NCAA champion Connecticut.
