There's the full release
My guess is that Nova game on Feb 27 will be National Marquette Day.
I think the opener is at Seton Hall.

That will do fine. A decent test to warm up with but one we should still win.

MU opens at home.

Probably suiting...those never seem to go well, do they?
We better make hay early, those last three are brutal. Probably the expected top three teams in the league in our last three games. Thankfully 2/3 are at home. My initial gut glance says 11-7.

Reminds me a bit of 2006, when MU played Georgetown and Pitt the span of three days. Won both and locked up a bid.
A few thoughts...
1) Everything is Wed. or Sat., except for 2 Tues. games.
2) Some nice weekend road trip opportunities: 1/2 at Georgetown, 1/23 at St. Johns, 2/6 at Xavier, 2/20 at DePaul, 3/5 at Butler
3) @DePaul on a Saturday - "this is our house"
4) Sat. night game against Creighton - that should be a fun one
5) Only 1 conference game weeknight 8:00pm start time, and it's against Georgetown so it's worth it.
6) Overall, the conference schedule looks very favorable for attendance. 5 Sat. games, 4 weeknight, but Seton Hall is basically a weekend, Georgetown and DePaul will get decent crowds, which leaves Providence as the most challenging from an attendance standpoint.
Any ideas why we are playing a non-conference game at the end of January (Stetson Jan 27)?

Just noticed that. Lots of teams play non-cons once the conference season starts, but it seems like a while since MU did it. Senior night a few years back maybe?
Stetson? In January?
Sweet fancy moses.
Looks like we will go 23-9 on the schedule.
Re: Stetson. My best guess is that Wojo doesn't want a week without a game.

Pretty sure it was just a timing issue. Looking for another buy game and that happened to be the only availability. I also wonder if part of the thought was limiting the number of games over winter break. They have a 9-day layoff in mid-September (between UW and Chicago State) but that's finals week. Better to hope you can get some attendance by having the game in the middle of the conference season than placing it in the middle of finals week when many students won't attend and STHs are beginning their holiday vacations.

That's a big one for me. Last year I think every weeknight home game started at 8pm or later except one, so nice to see that there are only four such games this season.
Wish they could have pushed the Presbyterian game on 12/27 back to noon...would make it easier to get home for the Packer game at 3:25pm.

Curious for the breakdown on that one. It's a 31-game schedule, so are you including Valley City State or expecting a first round Big East loss after winning at least 10 regular season games?

Sorry, I misremembered one game. 23-8. No source, just a prediction.

But why one of worst teams (336 out of 350 in kenpom) in the country?

Isn't it fairly obvious that they wanted to put together a schedule where they could rack up a bunch of wins?
Already getting the @Butler and @Xavier trips together. Anyone else looking at any roads games this year?

Confirmed
You are, without a doubt, a top 5 poster here. Quite possibly the best. Either you or the good Doc.

I like your list that I will add too.
Thanks to being on FS2, Grambling and San Jose State are 7pm games. There was zero 7pm the entire home season last year.
Three home games are at 6pm. Chicago State, Seton Hall and Providence.
Five home game are at 8pm during the midweek. A lot less from last season.

Actually just four 8pm midweek games (IUPUI, Iowa, Stetson, and Georgetown) - Belmont is also 8pm but that is a Friday night. Much better than last year.
That Stetson game has been known for several weeks so the BEast must have told MU when its bye was. We're particularly happy with the more limited 8p weeknight starts. Getting home after midnight is pretty tough.
Couldn't be much worse for a New Englander - mid-week games with Prov, SHU and Nova. Weekend with St. John's, but no nieces went there and can't get too excited. Trying to talk the wife into a long weekend in MKE for Nova/GT, but her first read is that precious vacation time in late Feb.spent in Wisconsin might not be the brightest.
I'm kind of digging the possibility of making the drive up from North Carolina to D.C. on New Year's Day and spending a couple nights there -- with the highlight being our Jan 2 late-afternoon game at GT.

Prepare to be disappointed. You think our Christmas break attendance is bad, Georgetown is lucky to get that for a weekend conference came in February.

Sounds like a nice opportunity for great seats....

I'll count Friday as a weekend game. ;)

Disappointed? I'm counting on it!
No students = no real HC advantage = MU win, baby.
Also:
No students = plenty of good, cheat seats for me and mine.
It's all good!!!
