I think we got it pretty much perfect this time.As an XL ticket holder I will say that St Johns on a Saturday night two days before Christmas should be an absolute madhouse and i will take Marquette in the first battle to see who will sit atop the conference. XL should be rocking for both games.
Selfishly would have liked to swap Butler or Xavier out for Creighton or Nova but what can you do. Have to divide the schedule up somehow.
100%. That Johnnies game is going to be nuts. No one’s working. BE home opener. Weekend night. Pitino back in town. Holiday cheer in the air and in my beer can. Cooleys coming in to Hartford for a Sunday afternoon massacre as well. First time in 10 years Nova comes to Storrs. I like that 4/5 weekend BE games are at XL - means more students at the weeknight BE games, which are going to be against awesome opponents too. This might be the toughest schedule in the country, right?As an XL ticket holder I will say that St Johns on a Saturday night two days before Christmas should be an absolute madhouse and i will take Marquette in the first battle to see who will sit atop the conference.

I don't think there is a close 2nd to us. @ Kansas, IU, Texas (most likely), @ Gonzaga, UNC and then the Big East.100%. That Johnnies game is going to be nuts. No one’s working. BE home opener.

That annual event has less cache than Lafayette-Lehigh.LOL the once "Marquee" Syracuse vs GTown game is in the morning! The ride to the gutter has been delightful to witness.
Some who stand outI don't think there is a close 2nd to us. @ Kansas, IU, Texas (most likely), @ Gonzaga, UNC and then the Big East.
Because six of our eleven games are against a really poor level of competition.Some who stand out
Arizona: @ Duke, Mich St (N), v Wisconsin, Purdue (N), Alabama (N), Florida Atlantic (N)
Michigan State: Duke, Arizona and Baylor all neutral sites

As a UConn fan in the Midwest, it's getting annoying how none of their visits to Marquette or DePaul seem to ever fall on a weekend. My 3 closest Big East venues are Marquette, DePaul, and Creighton and they're all weekdays. At least Creighton was a weekend last year, but couldn't fit it in my schedule. Shouldn't the more regional games that require less travel be the weekday games?
Thankfully Marquette is only an hour away for a weeknight.
DePaul staff getting creative with their schedule announcements. The Creighton entries are spot on.
