Nah. Cuse needs to be yearly. It’s one of the premier rivalries in the sport and it’s on life support right now. A three year rotation of a home/home then the third year at MSG is perfect. Wouldn’t mind playing Pitt, UConn should never give BC the luxury of playing them.
Agreed. It would have been nice to have that third game against a top 100 opponent. In that case, there would have been time to make adjustments and try them out before the tournament. As things are, they will have no time to adjust if they learn against Auburn that something they have been doing won't work against higher-caliber competition. Could end up with two or three losses when a differently constructed schedule could have had them in position to have one or zero losses.
Eh yeah but when us and Georgetown were trash a few years ago the XL was still packed. Familiar names will draw a crowd and even when they’re bad they should still be top 150. They’ll be better once they fire Capel. But yeah Louisville would be fun too.
I am not as worried as my last post might make it seem. I was probably being unnecessarily melodramatic. That being said, even though there are very few new bodies, the team is quite different from last year in terms of roles, playing time, and chemistry. I am sure that there are still bugs to work out that won't show themselves until they play top-tier opponents. It would have been nice to have discovered and begun to address said bugs before becoming stranded on an island with no practice time/facilities available.
Yeah, but how is this gonna look if we don’t look up to play auburn tomorrow and our first four “tune-up” games were literally ranked 358/358 in terms of difficulty.
We should be available for the Gavitt Games. We're in the PK games.
Good point, but we've been near the bottom all season. In any event, I just noticed the ranking and wanted to share it. I didn't mean for it to support any kind of larger agenda.
My guess is @Florida, BE-B1G home, BE-B12 home, PK85, 5 cupcakes.
Not really. We were 353/358 before any MTEs started I believe, which is very close to dead last anyway.
Don't know how likely it is that we would get home games in both challenges, but that would be an awesome schedule.
that is perfect but i'd settle for a game against Cuse at MSG every year like xavier v. osu or marquette v. wisconsin on neutral floors.
why do we keep playing UF? i wouldn't say no obviously but let's mix it up a bit more if we can.
There are tons of people on the board who believe we’ve really improved from last year based upon our games played so far, so I don‘t think it’s disingenuous at all to point out it’s the worst collection teams anyone has faced.
I think we still have a pending game with them that was supposed to be played last year but was canceled.
