UConn will most likely not be scheduled to play SC, Oregon, and probably Oklahoma due to having contracts in place to play those schools during the 21-22 season. Since it's a round-robin type 12 game format, they'll play 3 out of the remaining 4 schools.

But if they are in the tournament, they might play them twice, it seems, right?

While I agree that UConn will probably not play South Carolina, what the heck do you mean "exhibition / scrimmage". In season tournament, results are just as important as any other OOC game. With the added advantage that the 3 games count as only 2 in your "# of games played" count. |

There are 8 teams playing games over 3 days. Assuming they don't play more than 1 game/day, it's entirely possible to see two separate round robins with two separate champions. So SC and UConn need not necessarily meet.
