2009-10 pre-conference sked?

[MARQKC]

Forgive me if I've missed this: Has MU announced opponents yet?

Looks like we're playing Centenary on Nov. 13:

Does anyone know when tickets for the Old Spice tourney go on sale? Am planning a Florida trip over Thanksgiving, mostly because of MU playing at the Disney sports complex. FYI -- the venue is small, holds only about 6,000. Another reason I want to purchase tickets soonest. Thanks.

Looks like last year the bracket was set end of July and tickets went on sale mid-August.  Didn't check to see if they're available through travel packages before that.

Judging by my calendar, looks like Centenary is on a Friday night.  I imagine this is opening night.

Also, a couple other educated guesses on scheduling based on past years/tradition:

UWM:  November 20/21st (Friday/Saturday)
UW-Madison:  December 5th/December 12th

That is a great Thanksgiving tourny for us.  Good competition, but nothing too daunting for freshman.  It is a toss-up as to who would take tournament.  Great chance to play some fellow Jesuit schools.

How will UW and UWM be next year?  I know that kid Hughes will be back at UW, but is that it pretty much for them?

UW-Madison will again suck on paper, but will contend for the Big Ten/Eleven title.  Just like every year.
