So we're hosting a top team on the Big Boy national TV network on the biggest "open" sports day of the season?  I'll take it!  Lot's of eyeballs will be pointed our way.

Could they make this National Marquette Day?

Maybe.  That's early but there's a chance we could get the pregame show and everything.  That'll be the focal sporting event of the afternoon.  I sincerely hope MU pulls the trigger.  Gives them all Saturday for pregame campus wide events.

We also have a crap ton of weeknight 8p starts.  When we win it okay.  But when we lose it's flippin' brutal.

I'm coming down this way.  Yes, I like the opening 2 home games.  Yes, I like Nova Sunday.  Yes, I like closing the BMO on a Saturday Senior day.  But there also a TON not to like from a Chicago fan's perspective notably some of the missing nat'l TV and the late weeknight starts.  Oh well, it is what it is.

Rather than driving from Chicago to MKE twice, why don't you just subscribe to the Sports Pack?  It's like $12 / month.  I believe it gets you every FSN + a million other regional sports stations.

True, but also throw in three 7:30pm games and that makes 8 out of 17 regular season home games starting at 7:30pm or later.  And remember, the 8pm starts are really 8:15pm.

At least they are all stacked together. Looks like I'm going to be adding the sports package to my account for the month of February. 10 bucks for four games, seems reasonable enough.

Get DirecTV.  Request the sports pack (they'll give it to you for free if you get to their customer retention people).  Then you'll get pretty much every college basketball game you'd ever want.

Only the FS1 boardcasts will be 7:45 and 8:15pm tip times. One is a CBSSN which is about 8:07 tip time. Needless to say, your point is spot on!

I don't have a lot of faith that Ewing is going to right Georgetown's sinking ship.  If he's too scared to compete against power conference opponents he's going to have a difficult time attracting power conference talent.  Just the entirely wrong tone to set from the get-go.

Georgetown really punched the Big East in the gut with this type of schedule.  It will, without question, be the difference between getting six teams in and five.  If they don't want to play a big boy schedule, then they don't have to play a conference schedule either. 

Long-term, Georgetown will regret not moving past the Thompson-era and keeping the new coach of the program in house.  It may have stung, but they really needed to fully cut the cord and stop living in the past.  Any Big East team that loses to Georgetown will be severely impacted, RPI-wise.  Very unfortunate. 

It also makes the case for expansion even more relevant.  When you have a program rebuilding - like a Marquette, St. Johns, Georgetown, etc. - you need to have strength in the middle, that way the bottom doesn't completely destroy the rest of the league (like the AAC is today with Tulane, ECU and USF).

Mini-plans will go on sale at 10 a.m. CT on Thursday, Sept. 14, and feature a four-game flex plan, with two games locked into the plan and the opportunity for fans to choose the final two outings from predetermined options. The annual National Marquette Day game with Providence (Feb. 3) and the last regular season home game in the BMO Harris Bradley Center against Creighton (March 4) will be included in all mini-plans.

Fans will then select one game each from two categories: 1. The Non-Conference Options, and, 2. The BIG EAST Weekend Options.

The Non-Conference Options: Choose either Purdue on Tuesday, Nov. 14 OR Georgia on Saturday, Dec. 2.

The BIG EAST Weekend Options: Choose either Georgetown on Saturday, Dec. 30 OR Villanova on Sunday, Jan. 28.

Each mini plan purchased will receive a FREE ticket to the home opener against Mount St. Mary’s on November 10. Pricing for mini plans start at $69 and a limited number of lower level seats are available.

Trying to figure out how I can get to a game or 2 this season.

Closest to me is Georgetown, but if the team I'm coaching (asst HS coach) is any good - and we are gonna be VERY good this year - we'll be in the middle of our playoffs and I won't be able to go. My team has a week off right in the middle of our season, and I might be able to make the games at Butler and home vs. DePaul.

Has anybody gone to a game at Butler? How tough are tickets?

As for the TV schedule ... I can foresee me having to do the bar thing quite a few times, especially for those games on FS Wisconsin. As for game times ... I'll figure out ways to make most of 'em work. Can't get my undies in too big a bundle for something out of my control.

I've been to a game at Butler. I don't really remember I got the tickets but it was that tough. I probably just bought them on Ticketmaster or maybe through Butler but either way it was easy. There was a strong MU presence too so everyone else must not of had a problem either.

Same.  I went Henry's year, bought the tickets in Nov / Dec and it wasn't hard.  Awesome place to see a game.   I would highly recommend.  Get there early, they let you walk right down by the court.

Oh, and I sat next to Todd Mayo's uncle. Guy was more drunk than us

cool nugget: he is the younger brother of Todd Mayo's father

This quote is priceless:

“It’s my belief that, why go out there and get my a — kicked to show my recruits that we need their help when I can stay home and watch other people get their butts kicked,” Ewing said.

Clearly Ewing has a lot of faith in his current players.

Guys, guys.  Ease up on Ewing.  He's a had a rough life, especially when it comes to playing top-rate competition

It is bad.  For 2 games chick's going to make me drive to Wisconsin and watch it at Caf's.  We'll attend the other two in person so no biggie there.  Guess I will get to that damn new arena downtown after all.

In Connecticut, the games that are not on Fox usually end up on one of the local sports channels, like YES.  I saw all of the Big East games on TV last year.  I think maybe one or two of the games against cupcakes weren't on, but otherwise we generally get to see them all.

Question: Can you get Fox sports -- Wisconsin in Florida using Comcast?

I want my Warriors this winter!

 I live in Wisconsin and through Uverse I get every RSN including

FSN Florida
FSN Sun
FSN South

You should be able to get it by beefing up your package (jb) just a little.

When I say I didn't see any FS2, I wasn't just referring to our schedule. They're not on the entire BE composite schedule. I don't get it.

Full schedule with times.

Georgia game is on CBSSN, grrr.
Miles--here is MUs sked with the FS2 game noted.

FS2 and the FOX Sports Regional Networks will air games not carried by FOX, FS1, CBS or CBS Sports Network, including conference and non-conference contests.

On the BEAST composite it seems to refer to all games not on Fox or FS1 as FSN.

There are no Big East conference games on FS2 if that is what you are asking. 15 non-conference games are on FS2.

Same.  I went Henry's year, bought the tickets in Nov / Dec and it wasn't hard.  Awesome place to see a game.   I would highly recommend.  Get there early, they let you walk right down by the court.

I appreciate the 4-1-1 from you, saveOD and swoop. Thanks!

Not sure I'll be able to swing it, but it's good to know I'll probably be able to score tix if I can.

I don't like the way they structured this year's mini-plan.  Usually we do the mini-plan and sometimes one other game (they used to have a five-gamer) but this year's structure gives you very little flexibility.  We will probably just buy our four games as single-game tickets, so it fits with our needs better (two people in Milwaukee and two in Chicago).  And the 8 pm weekdays are not great for getting back home sigh.

It's the same format as last year. Which did very well. This year you get an additional game for free.

By last year's RPI:

Richmond 72
Syracuse 86
Mt St Mary’s 137
UMES 279
Jacksonville 305
Maine 323
N. Texas St 338
Coppin St 336
Howard 339
NC A&T 350
Alabama A&M 351 (out of 351)

If they can go at least 8 and 3 OOC, they will have indisputably shown that they have one of the top 300 programs in the nation.

Brutal.  Seven out of eleven worse than 300.

There is a lot of pushback within GU circles on this one, but those who made the schedule don't care.

Georgetown will go into conference play undefeated or with one loss. They will get some good PR. Hopefully when they play St Johns the first time , both will have good records and that will generate a lot of media attention.

I don't believe that for a second. There is no way they'll be undefeated. I would be very surprised if they had one loss.

They should win the bulk of their games, but I expect 2 or more losses, even with that crapcake schedule.

Who do you expect them to lose to? Syracuse is also rebuilding and they play at Georgetown. Richmond looks like a barely top 150 team. The rest are all sub 250 teams. I expect them to have only 1 loss in the OOC. However, I don't think they will get any good PR because of it like MUFINY suggested.

Who knows...but bad teams lose games to other bad teams all the time.  We have had plenty of unexpected non conference losses over the years, and a loss to 'Cuse or Richmond would hardly be a shocker.

I get why, but I will miss the NYE/MLK marathons the Big East has done in recent years.  Those were really cool.

I agree, but it leaves holes in other nights for FS1 with no Big East games on those Tuesday and Wednesday's. We'll have Big Ten and Pac-12 games on Monday's, Friday's, Thursday's and Sunday's.

Both Syracuse and Richmond. It wouldn't surprise me if they dropped one to one of their cupcakes as well. I think Georgetown will be worse-than-2015-Marquette bad.
