Not sure what you would like Hurley to do with the schedule this year. The scheduled Villanova game in January takes away a game you would play in December. He wanted to play 3 games before Charleston, and then 2 games before the Jimmy V Classic.
The team took their finals the rest of this week and some have some this weekend so no game scheduled. So then a game on 18th and 22nd, a break for holidays, and then a game on the 29th. That was big for Hurley as he didn't want a long break between last game in December and the conference opener like last year.
