Indiana is mystery team #4 for next season's 2K Sports Classic at the Garden. #BCEagles, UConn, Indiana and Washington.

I remember this was brought up a while ago, but now Indiana is in the mix for this pre-season tourney. Gotta love this. Plenty of opportunities for UConn to keep playing in MSG.​

Given that Washington is already on our schedule, have to think that BC will be our first game in the Garden. Can't wait for that.

How do you know we won't be playing Indiana instead?

I'd imagine the people running the tournament would want to set up a UConn/Indiana final. Would get huge ratings.

I'd imagine they'd want a potential matchup between UConn and Indiana as the final.

Good to hear! Gotta keep the OOC schedule strong.

IU will still be good next year even after Oladipo gets drafted

This is good news. Besides the return trip to Washington, have we heard of any other OOC games scheduled for next year?

Sorry. Didn't realize it was a mini-tourney. I thought it was just the 2 games. I agree that Uconn/BC and UW/IU is probably what they'll do.

Presale for tickets is tomorrow it's November 21 and 22

They're going to be in for some growing pains I would think, but they've got an impressive recruiting class. Still, they're likely losing Oladipo and Zeller, and then Watford and Hulls, so the beginning of the year could be interesting for them.

When do season tickets for next year go on sale? Also, where are the pre-sale tickets for the 2K tourney? UConn site or Ticketmaster?

The usual guess, would be 2 American East, 1 MAAC team, 1 MEAC team, maybe Harvard and possible Top 25 team home/home series and could include Texas, hopefully it's decent and not weak...sick of these Coppin State teams, why not a in/state CT schools? Heck why not schedule once a year, 2 teams from the Catholics with teams being rotated on a yearly basis, one year with G-Town and Nova, the next year, St. John's and Seton Hall. I'd love that.

its too bad BC will lose before they play us

No matter what happens in the early rounds, the four "hosts" get to play in MSG.

Thanks, obviously didn't know that. Looks like we have a game to look forward to.

Just looked it up. The Texas series is actually a 4 game series over 6 years. Next year Texas is at UCONN, and the following year we go back to Texas.

So far next year...we have BC, (MSG) Washington or Indiana, (MSG) Texas (at UCONN) and Washington (on the road). Good start the OOC schedule.

that is quite the OOC schedule name-wise. BC is actually expected to be decent for the first time in a while, Indiana will likely still be strong, and Washington and Texas can't be worse than this year. Hopefully RPI boosts from all 3/4 games.

Yeah the RPI boost is huge. In conference play is going to be a double edge sword next year because although you will get the opportunity to play Louisville, Memphis, Cinncinati, and Temple twice, you also get the pleasure of playing the likes of UCF, and Rutgers twice.

 

[mcs333]

UCF s/b better next year. Currently they have 20 wins an RPI of 101 and with 4 of their top 5 players returning next year they have a chance to be an NCAA tour. team.
