Do we know anything yet?
I've seen speculation on the following:
Nov 25: at ASU
Nov 28, 29, Dec 1: Anaheim/Directtv/Wooden classic
Dec 20: vs New Mex in Vegas
Dec 31: at Creighton
Any confirmation of these or any other games?

Is Farleigh Dickenson forsure? I may be the only person excited for that game.
Update the wiki if things are known:

Did I completely miss this?
Yeah we agreed to a home and away with the buckeyes. I'm really hoping for a Saturday night game in which Duane is gonna make Aaron Craft look silly

This just might be Duane's first college game, which comes against a great point guard defender. I would expect Derrick to play a lot in this one.

Not so sure that Creighton would be on the 31st. Have seen articles saying it could be New Year's Day.
that's a farleigh ridiculous comment.

I guess that means Craft will be shutting down De. Wilson's much vaunted offensive game.

A sign of the new league; no 10 O'clock home game for MU on 1 Jan.
ASU in Tempe on Nov. 25. New Mexico in Vegas on Dec. 21.
From the ASU Website:

THIS IS HOW GOOD MARQUETTE IS: One of the best teams in the nation the past eight seasons visits Wells Fargo Arena on Nov. 25, and the Marquette Golden Eagles have been a consistent member of summer top-25 for next season. ASU will return the trip to Milwaukee in 2014-15. Marquette has been a top-30 RPI team in six of the past eight seasons, including No. 12 in 2012-13 when it reached the Elite Eight, and has advanced to the Sweet Sixteen in each of the past three seasons.
It has made made eight straight NCAA Tournaments, the sixth-best current streak in the nation. Only Kansas (24), Duke (18), Michigan State (16), Gonzaga (15) and Wisconsin (15) have better current marks. The Golden Eagles also have posted eight straight 20-win seasons.
MARQUETTE PAST 8 SEASONS: RPI/OVERALL RECORD
2012-13: 12/26-9
2011-12: 17/27-8
2010-11: 30/22-15
2009-01: 40/22-12
2008-09: 48/25-10

What about UCLA? Wasn't that reported to be a possibility this Spring.

If MU is opening with Creighton AND the "everyone plays on Day 1" is still on the board, then MU-Creighton has to be the main event game.

UCLA put on their schedule and MU is not on it.

Was that when people were speculating whether we were playing ASU in Vegas....or if we were taking part in the LV Tournament like UCLA is?

No, two different things. MU was in talks with a H/H with UCLA.

Georgetown/Villanova would easily trump MU/Creighton as the main event. Don't know if the leauge is planning that as the main kickoff, but they're stupid if they aren't.
Think about it--two classic Big East former national champions in their first matchup in the new version of the league?
You want to connect this new league to former Big East greatness, then this HAS to be the game. Hands down this would get more positive national attention for the league than trying to hype anything involving Creighton.

I see your point, but if they're pairing off MU & Creighton, they can't put Georgetown & Villanova together from an event planning perspective. Butler and Xavier have to be paired with one of The Seven, and you really don't want to end up booking a DePaul-Seton Hall game as part of the launch.
