My season ticket invoice was more than last year, so I'm guessing that is the case.

That's 18 reg season games.

+ 9 Big East Road Games = 27

+ Chicago Invite which I think counts as 1 = 28

+ Tennesee = 29

What's the max you can play again?  Can we fit in the Wooden Classic?

IIRC, we only had one preseason game last year.

Yep, only one pre-season last year due to the K-State scrimmage.

The Chicago Invitational counts as 1 game on the overall schedule, but includes 2 home games and 2 in Hoffman Estates.

That means technically, there are UWM, UW, 5 buy games and 2 Chicago Invitational preliminary round games. 

Admittedly, there probably won't be much difference between the CI games and the buy games--but the schedule doesn't reflect any major shift in strategy--just the luck (or lack of luck depending on your point of view) of getting to play two extra home games as part of the CI.

You can add Presbyterian College to next year's list of buy games. The mighty Blue Hose will be coming to the BC Dec. 27.

Huh? Presbyterian College?

I've got to email Rican on this one. It'll be just enough to get him back posting.

Great nickname.....the Blue Hose


They can bring their cheerleading team with them if they want, too.

In case you were wondering, Presbyterian College was #333 in the RPI last year and finished 2-25 against Division 1 teams.

They beat Radford and Army
