The Big East announced its 2008-2009 men's basketball schedule matchups today, and UConn will be spending a lot of time in the Midwest this season.

The Huskies' road opponents will be Cincinnati, DePaul, Louisville, Marquette, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh and West Virginia, as well as more local opponents St. John's and Seton Hall. Couple that with a trip to the U.S. Virgin Islands for the Paradise Jam in November, and a literal West Coast trip to Seattle to face Gonzaga in December, and UConn will be logging a lot of travel miles this winter.

UConn will host Georgetown, Notre Dame, Pitt, Providence, Rutgers, Seton Hall, USF, Syracuse and Villanova. They'll face Pitt, Seton Hall and Notre Dame twice and every other conference foe once.

Here are the home and away conference opponents for all the Big East teams in 08-09:
