No. 17 UConn to play Toronto Metropolitan in a game NCAA will recognize as a regular-season contest

No. 17 UConn is headed to Canada for a game Wednesday against Toronto Metropolitan University, which is not an NCAA team but a member of the Canadian organization U Sports. Rick Nixon, a spokesman for the NCAA, said the game will be recognized as a regular-season contest and all the statistics will count under the organizations' rules involving “outside competitions." The only caveat, he said, it that because TMU (10-0) is not an NCAA Division I opponent, a win or a loss won't be calculated in UConn's NET rankings for consideration in postseason seeding. The game was scheduled as part of a tradition at Connecticut in which Geno Auriemma tries to give his players from out of state at least one “homecoming” game in their careers at a school near their hometown.
