Our future basketball schedules

[SouthBayHusky]

When we win our next national championship in the new Big East, will it be considered our third NC in three separate conferences? Would have a nice ring to it.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Cincinnati ( maybe a home and home) given the special rivalry we’ve developed with them. I think it would be good for both schools and fans

This is why we have a bad rep on Friar Talk.

friar talk??? ?? ??? LOL sounds like a bunch of...

never mind

Lighten up Francis. This is why the Big East wants us. We bring a little swagger, even when we are down.

Glad about the home and home. Living 20 minutes from the Dunk, I always go to the away game there. Never easy, lost to a lot of mediocre PC teams there over the years.

One small thing that some of you have probably forgotten is that we get one more perk of joining the Big East; we play in the Big12 and B1G challenges every year.

Our schedules are going to be sweet.

20 Big East games
Big 12 team (Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, or West Virginia)
Big 10 team (Wisconsin, Michigan State, Michigan or Ohio State)
Syracuse (most years)
3-team tournament
One more big school (Arizona, Oregon, Tennessee)
4 local creampuffs (Yale, Harvard, Quinnipiac, Vermont)

We are going to have a top 10 SOS almost every year, and 18 wins will probably get us in to the tournament most years. 18 wins wouldn't get us into the NIT out of the AAC. We would need 23-24 wins just to get to the tournament. This move was the right move. We needed to get basketball right. Football will sort itself out. Big 10 schools and ACC schools schedule home and homes with us (Duke just did a week ago).

UVM, Yale, Harvard are cream puffs?

You’re one angry human

Given what happened with the old boneyard, I’d say you’re all a bunch of d bags

Like I said, we have championships to back it up and you don't.

It'll be refreshing to know that 26-10 won't get us a 7 seed..... I think

26-10 in the big east (i'm assuming that means we have a good amount of quality wins) would probably land us on the 4/5 line depending on what the W/L looked like. The Big East is a much much much stronger basketball conference in the eyes on the committee (and in every metric across the board)

Nova went 25-9 this past season and got a 6 seed in statistically the weakest year for the Big East since the C7 split off. On the other hand, Cincinnatti went 28-6 in the best year ever for the AAC, and got a 7 seed. In the exact same region. Lol
