CBS' Jon Rothstein tweeted it out.

Big time

Fordham could be decent next year, and if keep things up could be on the rise. Would be great to start things up again.

I guess if we're going to have cupcakes, it's better that we reach out to NYC, rather than to some no-name school from a podunk town.

Fordham's Severe is a baller

I caught some of their games on TV last year for whatever reason. May have been playing Harvard. Decent squad. Typical December game we'll win by 8 and you'll wonder why it was 15.

It's still an Atlantic 10 school.

"if we're going to have cupcakes"?

You can't play Florida and Texas every night. It's a long season and there are lots of dates to fill.

The obvious, being in the AAC their OOC games can't have many cupcakes.

Give me Maryland Eastern Shore and I'll be satisfied.

A10, NYC school and some good players on their roster. Not bad for an OOC where we dont have to go back to their place.

yeaaaaaaaa!

Of course. I should have worded that: "Given that we're going to have cupcakes..."

We need the home games and the cash flow that accompanies it.

I do wish we tried to get more mid-majors than just purely bottom-feeders though, especially with our conference providing enough of a soft underbelly to our schedule.

I don't want to be Duke. Let's not get in any bad habits that induce first round losses . . .

I'm not a big shooting my load early kind of guy.

 

[primus74]

Better than playing Maine last year and their RPI of like 320.

 

[breezy]

more jesuits to beat

Might as well schedule Coppin State.

Anytime UConn can play a school from the Bronx and the New York media can identify it as a game between two local teams , it can't hurt.
