Kolek planning to go pro
I would take the Rick SLU program right now.
News has been out for almost 10 minutes. Where's Brew or TAMU to tell me what to think about OK St.?
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
I have no facts or inside information to verify or support this... but wouldn't there be a scenario where the non-conf portion of the schedule is just cancelled? Many of the teams in buy games fly commercial and if travel is not sorted out by then I could see some serious difficulties. The "haves" (charter flights, full time team doctors, etc) would certainly have an even greater advantage over the "have not's to the point where the have not's might just decide to stay home.Only a theory...There's a point where this just isn't logical.
F Loyola Drake. Hate those guys.
Jon Rothstein@JonRothstein·2sSource: The NCAA has approved a 28-game schedule with a 3-game MTE and a 29-game schedule with a 2-game MTE.Significant news in the college basketball scheduling world.
Why go out to NYC? They should just play at the Rec Center
MTE?
Multiple Team Event. The early season tournaments.
Good, hopefully that means Marquette will actually play a full schedule for the first time in a while.
Is this new shorter schedule a 1-season concession to the coronavirus, or is it permanent?
I don't believe it's shorter. It just enables every team to get 31 games if they want.
This is huge for Marquette. Between Fiserv scheduling & MTEs not offering campus games, getting to 31 has been a struggle the past 5 years. They had to get a waiver in 2018-19 to play the 31st game and Howard's career was effectively cut an additional 3 games short because of 30-game schedules in 3/4 years.We have some fairly uncommon challenges and this will make scheduling much easier for Broeker and company.
Glad to hear it. Burning noncon games (even if it was because the Nov tourney didn’t give a campus game) has been an annoyance of mine in recent years. Hope Broeker is now able to get 31 regular season games on the schedule annually moving forward.
Jon Rothstein@JonRothstein·1mSource: Marquette will host Albany as part of its 20-21 non-conference schedule.
Bart Torvik puts them at 238 next season. Not bad, not stellar buy game
