No need.

I'm sure his "Cupcake Spidey Sense" was already tingling when the OP was made.

Wow!  Here we go again.  Will Marquette ever play a team with a decent RPI?

ARE SOME OF YOU STUPID?????????????

My God, it's called schedule balance. Gotta sprinkle in some cupcakes.

Is it me, or do we know waaay more about the schedule this year, this early, than any other year?

We know 9 OOC games, July 4th.  Last year .. August, we only knew 1 (plus Maui).

Weren't some of us even a bit concerned when we learned our mirror and road opponents for the BE?  We got to get some balance somewhere...

Some people have no effing clue. Our SOS at the end of the year will be in the high teens, but that's not enough. Unless we can schedule North Carolina, Florida, UCLA, Duke and Memphis (all of them at home), then our schedule sucks. I'll say it again: Al NEVER played a Top 10 team in home inb the four years I was there, and I would guess without looking in his entire tenure that only four of five Top 10 teams made it into Milwaukee. You have NO idea how good the home schedule is compared to then.

Maybe LY, the coach had something else on his mind?

Last year the Big East conference schedule was released July 13th...this year it was released the first of July....two weeks ahead of last year.

I heard Buzz made it happen - he wanted to know his schedule by July 1st.

I dunno, I didn't hear this, call it more of a sense, but it was Trevor Mbakwe that demanded to know by Aug. 1st.  And we know what happens when Trevor Mbakwe demands..he gets it a month earlier.
