Schedule

[jsglow]

Hadn't looked at the site yet. Glad I didn't put any money down. Should be a fun atmosphere with a good opponent on a Saturday night.

In all fairness, the gomarquette site wasn't up yet when you made your guess.

The schedule says the X game is National Marquette Day.

That day will be a doubleheader.  Real Chili for lunch and Real Chili for bar closing.  I better start working out now.

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

I know what I'm doing on New Year's Day in the afternoon.

Well, no rest for the weary.  6 out of first 9 games are against teams in last year's NCAA.

[Mr. Nielsen]

Two Saturday night home games.

Lookin', lookin', lookin'...... about to call panther out......  Bingo! that Houston Baptist barnburner!

[Mr. Nielsen]

Houston Baptist still counts!  MU, non-conference or conference never has Saturday night home games untill finally last season there was one in a long while. This year two!

Only ONE 8pm weeknight game at the Bradley Center. In 2014-15, Marquette had zero 7pm games. Heck, almost all were at 8pm. That is a huge change as many hated the 8:15 tip times.

[GOO]

A move in the right direction, for sure.  Those 8:00 o'clock games are too late for us out of town old timers.

All good brother!  Took me forever to find it.  LOVE those 7p starts. Chick doesn't have to bust out of downtown CHI on the train too horribly early AND we get home in time to get a decent night's sleep.  Trust me, driving home nearly two hours in the wee hours after a Wednesday night late game loss absolutely blows chunks.

[Mr. Nielsen]

I think that's awesome we can get so many Chicagoland Marquette fans coming to the games.

I guess I shouldn't say my drive home is over the Hoan Bridge.

Pretty important to beat the Hoyas in Game 1.

3 very tough games after that. And then, after DePaul at home, 3 more that won't be easy at all.

If we can come out of these first 8 at 4-4, I like our chances of having a pretty nice conference season.

Noticed the same thing. I've got us going 2-6 in that stretch. Very front-loaded conference schedule.

Going to be challenging.  I had mentioned earlier in this thread that this represents 6 tourney teams out of 8 games.  Buckle up.

That is make or break tight there.  All much taller teams versus Midgets II.  MU better come out firing and hitting.  I think DePaul is even improved.  No easy games in the BEAST.
