So the Bucks schedule has been released for 2008-2009, and looking at it, it appears that these slots are open for weekend night games for MU. Looks like depending on what MU and what TV works, we could be spending a lot of winter Friday and Saturday nights at the BC:

Fri. 11/7
Fri. 11/14
Sat. 11/22 (UWM): Bucks host Knicks night before, but on road this night
Sat. 12/6 (Wisconsin): Bucks off that day and play @ LA Lakers 12/7, so Wisconsin game could potentially be a night game
Sat. 1/3
Sat. 1/10
Fri. 1/16
Sat. 1/17
Fri. 1/23
Fri. 1/30
Fri. 2/6
Fri. 2/13
Sat. 2/14
Sat. 2/21
Fri. 2/27
Fri. 3/6

Weekend day games (Bucks are home that night)could be:
Sat. 11/15
Sat. 12/13
Sat. 12/20
Sat. 1/24
Sat. 1/31
Sat. 2/7
Sat. 2/28
Sat. 3/7

I'm sure most of those dates are for concerts and other events

I'm too lazy to do the work, but if you're interested in further narrowing the possible dates, this might help...

As of right now, there is no schedule for Dec up for the BC... but Wisconsin as a night game would be awesome. Students could wait during the day instead of all night to get in.

Perhaps it has changed with the Petit's not owning the Admirals but I thought the Admirals get second choice on dates and MU 3rd. It never ceases to amaze me how many Saturday night spots at the BC are filled by the minor league Admirals instead of MU. Back when MU played at the Arena most Saturday games were at night and not afternoon like today.

It has changed - I can't find the official release, but when we signed a new contract with the BC in 2006, we got 2nd dibs on scheduling..

I have a feeling we will play UW when ESPN wants us to play UW.

No doubt 100% true when Crean was in charge.

With Buzz? I get the feeling if he had a good reason, he'd tell ESPN to stick it. In a nice, southern aw-sucks way.

Maybe.
