Is this on an aircraft carrier?
If we get a Gavitt Games match up, we would have four decent non-tournament games pre-season.
Vandy
UW at home
Utah on road
??? Gavitt likely on road.
So...
Bucky
@Utah
Vandy (N)
And 2 of these 3
Pitt (N)
SMU (N)
Michigan (N)
Looks like we will have 1 more "good" game than last year. Unless you count Belmont as a good game.
Also looks like being a STH is continuing to be a fruitless exercise as TV pushes the best OOC game to neutral sites.

Gavitt is on the road, if I recall correctly MU asked for the home-away to switch in accordance with the UW game.
Sounds like Vandy's top 2 scorers are likely gone to the draft in Baldwin IV and Damian Jones. They return all the other contributors. Not sure what their recruiting class looks like but if Drew is able to bring Alec Peters with him as a grad transfer they will have a nice team.
MU & Creighton appear to be the two BE teams with no Gavitt games next year.

Based on dish usually knows what he is talking about.
Good start to the schedule. Especially good if we don't get a big ten game. Now it's just important not to go after the tastiest and most delicious cupcakes.
We owe these guys.

Also based on the timing. Gavitt Games started last year on November 15. We already have 5 games booked between Nov. 11 and Nov. 20. I'd be amazed if we could fit another game in there. Unless the Gavitt Games are going to be played later this season.
Honestly, we were probably out of the Gavitt games the second we booked the 2K classic. Its one of the earliest holiday tournaments.
Really want to see us get some revenge on Vandy, though this is a big Chance for one of their guys to show that MU missed on him.
Vandy is my second favorite hoops program...but a DISTANT second to MU. I will be very disappointed if we drop our third straight to them.
This is a good quality game.

Same here. I think losing Baldwin will actually make them better from a chemistry perspective. I know Jones said he was entering the NBA draft when the season began, but he still had not made it official. If he stayed, they would be tough. Really like Fisher-Davis too. Awesome game for me, and great opportunity.
Super excited for this matchup. Might make the trip to Annapolis with some vandy grads. Should be a great time!
MU should buy these tickets up quick... Friday nights in Annapolis are great.

I was thinking that this would be a fun trip. How would I go about getting tickets?

Mine too. I grew up on Vanderbilt basketball since the Warriors were a bit far away. But we owe them BIG TIME for the last time they were in the Bradley Center.
I think the Commodore needs to go down with his ship -- BIG TIME!!!!!!
Great coming out party for our revamped line-up and start on the way to the Final Four :-) !!!!
