For those that forgot, the SEC and Big East are having a "challenge" over the next three years. Over the course of the next three years, all 12 SEC teams will play once and 12 of the 16 Big East teams will play once. There's 4 games each year (hasn't been announced if they'll be neutral site, on campus). It starts up next season.
For giggles, here's my 4 match ups for this coming year. I'm keeping in mind that teams will obviously change their rosters over the next month with NBA defections, transfers, etc. Since teams can only be used once as well, I'm thinking you'll see two good "projected" games each year, and two avergage "dog" games each year.
Tennessee @ Marquette (Pearl back to Milwaukee!)
Georgetown @ Florida (who knows what these rosters will look like, but both teams should still be good/ranked heading into next year)
Miss St @ Providence (dog game)
DePaul @ South Carolina
I realize this is pointless to even speculate about, but it's Friday and somewhat slow right now.
In order, my preference of SEC opponents I'd like to see MU play in this Challenge:
1. Florida
2. Kentucky (If Crean goes to Kentucky, can you imagine a Kentucky @ Marquette game???)
3. Tennessee
4. Field (we might see LSU in Maui, and we just played Alabama and South Carolina recently, so throw the rest in a bag and pick)
