26/27 season schedule

[John]

Little premature don’t you think?

every year it's the same thing.

Wish we didn't have to play 20 games against our bum ass conference. It would be so much more entertaining to see two more OOC opponents who are likely, 1. Better, and 2. Not officiated like MMA

Hope so, I don’t ever recall the big east being this poor. Willard had a lot of work ahead of him. Not sure if they don’t pay or just can’t stand playing for the guy but the whole team is in the portal

Nova is well resourced. Money is not an issue there.

UConn-Duke in NYC in February would be an unbelievable draw.

little further west. Lot further, actually.

Vegas?

here is what I think we can and should end up with

Beyond @arizona, N-Illinois and kansas

I think Hurley wants to go monsterous with the schedule everyone on here knows he said 7 or 8, I think he’ll do that

Duke at MSG/ I think it is mutually beneficial to both schools (Jon scheyer can look at the team he may face in March) and John Fanta told me in late 2024 they are working on a series. Could return this game to Greensboro.

@UNC Mike Malone coaching there as a new coach would be great for him to bring in the national runner up as a big home game and would give us a great 27/28 home game

Chat GPT reported this previously as a rumor

Gonzaga in Seattle- Jaylin Stewart homecoming as a senior, return to MSG in 27/28 (or Boston like they did in 07/08

Virginia in DC- the scene of the greatest shot (difficulty and stakes combined) with an on the rise Virginia team

Also a homecoming idea for Jayden Ross as a senior

If there is an 8th

Options

Michigan at MSG (jimmy v)
Kentucky at MSG (jimmy v)
Continuation of the Texas series game 3 being in CT
UCLA in Vegas

Thoughts?

With the NCAA going to 32 regular season games, we will have 12 non-conference games.

I agree with Hurley that I would like to see 7-8 high majors.

If we go with eight, we have four low-majors to schedule.

My bet is that we land on seven.

So far:

Arizona (A)
Illinois (Chicago)
Texas (A)
Kansas (H)

That means three more:

These are long shots but I would like to see a home and home with either Duke or Michigan.

I would take a game at MSG against Syracuse.

Then one other notable program home and home (someone like Wisconsin).

Already over my depression. On to next year…

Luke mentioned wanting to "mend fences" now that he's heading to BC. If we schedule them, we need to make sure they count as one of the low majors

He said today he wont schedule Luke. Its like him scheduling his brother.

Guess we can ignore my previous post then, lol.

I thought he might throw him a bone to help him out, at least in year 1

No more Gonzaga please..at least for a while. I don’t think it’s a draw that excites our fan base (at least for me) as much as it excites their fan base.

I like the idea of a home (Gampel) and home (Pauley) with UCLA, UNC (think regular season versus Duke waters down our history with them) in addition to the primetime slot at Jimmy V. UCLA is not a program that we have a tremendous history with but one that will be a premier matchup of blue bloods that will excite both fan bases and garner national attention.

Zags = pointless

No reason to further acquaint ourselves with a mid major that will inevitably go down the MM touilette'. Few's sauce has been euros and old dudes. The euro pipeline is now well discovered and old guys not an option. I'd be surprised if they are much more than a round of 32 team anymore.

Teams we need to schedule are many of the programs we had last year. Florida, Duke, Illinois, Michigan, Zona, Kansas, UNC, Kentucky, Texas, BYU, Houston, Arkansas, Indiana, Louisville.

There is going to be a squeeze.
