Surprised that you don't have their game against UCLA on Nov 30 listed. Will be on FS1.

In addition here are some games based on BIG10 teams:

SC vs USC - Nov 15
Michigan vs UConn - Nov 20
UConn vs USC SC - Dec 13
Iowa vs UConn - Dec 20

Yeah I picked the NC State game. Because it was the first game.

Baylor vs Duke-Nov 3rd. That one is going to be huge for both programs. Duke being ranked going against a Baylor program that isn't ranked.

Guessing Baylor will be ranked, but TBD. ESPN has Baylor at 16, and the early ballots (Mitchell Northam and Joe Vozzelli) I have seen for next week’s AP poll have Baylor at 17-18. Iowa-Baylor on Nov. 20 should be a good game, perhaps for a spot in the top 25.

Louisville vs UConn-Nov 4th
Princeton vs Georgia Tech- Nov 9th

NC State has games with Tennessee, USC and TCU all in the first 2 weeks. Going to find out how much they miss Rivers, Hayes and James real quick!

STATE also has have a exhibition vs High Point. Y'all lucky it won't be televised

I thought the winners and losers were facing off on Thanksgiving

You are correct

Oh man. Did we forget UCLA vs Oklahoma-Nov 10th? That one should be exciting.

Actually, this is one of the best barometers of teams hoping to make the jump into the Final Four conversation. Cori's teams are always good early and seem to never develop during the season and Jennie B likes to run, run and run some more. She has one of the "true bigs" that has already played against Betts and that Betts will have to defend. Can UCLA force OU into a half court offense and can UCLA get enough open looks for Kneepkens and Leger-Walker to score efficiently. How CLW fits into the Bruin scheme (if you want to call what Cori has as a "scheme") will be curious to me as she never had this much talent at WSU.
