If I recall correctly from a Rosiak blog, MU was still working on finalizing another BCS conference opponent for December...judging by Juan Anderson's recent tweet, it appears to be Washington

@juanonjuan10:Ayeee just found out I play my fam @30dezz next year. Marquette vs Washington, 2 Oakland boys. How often do you see that?

Maybe it's George Washington, Washington U in St. Louis, or Washington & Lee?

I looked at Simmons' tweets, apparently the game is being played at Madison Square Garden. That'd be an interesting location for a Midwest team and a West Coast team. Obviously this hasn't been confirmed yet, but that would be pretty cool.

If Marquette is playing Washington, it's not the Coaches versus Cancer.

St.John's, Arizona, Texas A&M and Miss. State are in that field.

I also wouldn't rule out MU playing another SEC team this year as part of the expanded Big East-SEC Challenge. That means only 4 teams from the Big East won't participate, and there is no way that a Big East team that advanced to the Sweet 16, won't participate IMO. Although, they may just make the MU-Vandy game, part of that. We shall see. But if not, that is another quality team added to the schedule.

MU will not be in the Big East/SEC this season. MU already plays Vandy and LSU.

Big East Tournament

Looking at that, personally, I think it's risky, but also potentially a great schedule. As of right now, it looks like just two ranked teams in the non-conference, Vandy and UW, but Washington, LSU, and some of the Paradise Jam teams will have a chance to make the tournament. I think anything less than 11-2 in non-conference would be a disappointment, though.

As always, the Big East will be brutal. But if the home/away projections are correct, I love that we get three of the projected top four teams in the Big East (Pitt, Louisville, UConn) on home court, and the one that we face on the road (Syracuse) is a team we seem to have finally figured out how to beat, though admittedly beating them at the Carrier Dome is much more difficult than anywhere else. Depending on which teams we play for mirror games (and where we play them), we could very well be looking at a top-3 seed with this type of schedule. It's bold, but with fewer potential hiccups in the non-conference than last year and also fewer RPI-dragging cupcakes (especially if FAU comes through).

Kudos to Cottingham, Buzz, and the people in charge of scheduling. As long as the team handles business on the court, we're well on track for a top 15 SOS next year.

brewcity77- That schedule looks correct to me.

It's way different in past years. I see 6 to 9 tough games in the non-conference. Washington will be strong. Ole Miss and UVA will be better than most think.

I think season-ticket holders with enjoy only 16 total games at the Bradley Center this season. 9 in the Big East and 7 in the non-conference. 3 of the 7 are versus Vandy, Milwaukee and Green Bay.

Correct, but the non-conference should have 7 home games. 13 total, with 4 neutral (Paradise Jam, Washington at MSG) and 2 road (LSU, UW), leaving us 7 at the BC (Vandy, UW-M, UW-GB, possibly FAU, 3 others).

I'm just hoping for the three others to all be projected top-250 RPI teams. If that ends up being the case, we could have an immense non-con schedule.

As far as tough games, I agree there are numerous tough games, but I don't think the tough ones this year are as tough as last year. I think UW is about even to last year. They lose some key players, but get us on home court. Vandy will be better than last year, but at least it's at home. And while Washington, Ole Miss, Virginia, and LSU could all be tourney teams (yes, I know how bad LSU was in 2010-11) I don't think any of them are as tough as Gonzaga was last year, much less Duke.

Mr. Nielsen

Sorry, I had 16 games at the BC with 7 of them being non-league games. I don't worry to much about the RPI. MU, just needs the teams they play to win.


Washington, for the past two season are really strong at the end of the year. MU would be playing them around, Dec.6.

Virginia, ESPN's Joey Brackets has them as the "first four" out. So bigger things could happen for them.

LSU, it's an SEC school and it's on the road.

Drexel, won at L'ville last season. They play in the CAA that sent three schools to the dance and one went to the Final Four.

Vanderbilt, I"ve seen many pre-season polls that have them ranked #5 to #15
When was the last time other than Wisconsin, that a ranked non-conference team played Marquette at the Bradley Center?

I think the RPI is really important, especially after last year. South Dakota had a winning record, yet still had a sub-300 RPI. If we had added two more South Dakotas instead of Vandy and Duke, we probably wouldn't have made the tournament despite two more wins on the schedule. The SC is looking more and more at who you play in the non-conference, especially for BCS-conference teams, because that's one of the only factors a team can control. Play too many cupcakes, even ones with winning records, and they will punish you for it (see Colorado or Va Tech last year). But then again, maybe this is just my personal "run up the flagpole" argument :)

Agreed, I love this game. They are losing Thomas, Bryan-Amaning, and Holiday, so my guess is it will take some time for Abdul Gaddy to get back from injury and really take over. But Lorenzo Romar has a knack for making the tournament and succeeding. My guess is they'll be good enough to get in, probably with a top-50 RPI. And I love that we play them at MSG, the heart of Big East country. Much easier to get MU fans to New York than Washington fans.

Virginia and Ole Miss both have upside. I'm just hoping for a favorable first round draw. TCU would be very nice, it's a nice storyline for the PJ people (future Big East and former C-USA foes) and they could be another top-200 RPI (208 last year, return much of that team) opponent.

Quote from: mupanther on May 14, 2011, 11:23:07 AMLSU, it's an SEC school and it's on the road.

All I can say is thank god we are there this year and not next. Their top two scorers last year were freshman and they are bringing in a top-100 PF who will likely become a big-impact guy. We should be able to beat them on the road this year as they will still be very young, and when those young studs mature, we'll get to play them at home.

Quote from: mupanther on May 14, 2011, 11:23:07 AMDrexel, won at L'ville last season. They play in the CAA that sent three schools to the dance and one went to the Final Four.

For mid-majors, they'd be a solid foe. Likely top-100 team and outside shot at a bid. I'm hoping to see Ole Miss and Virginia as they seem more solid to be top-100, but Drexel wouldn't be a bad shout in lieu of one of those two in the PJ.

The last one I remember was Wake Forest in 2003. But looking back, I missed one...we hosted #15 Arizona at the BC in 2004. Still, it's been a long time. This is a great opportunity, and don't be surprised if that maturing LSU team finds themselves ranked when they come to the BC in 2012-13.

Brewcity77- Great feed back!

On the RPI thing- I was stunned that MU got an 11 seed. I thought playing Wisconsin, Duke, Gonzaga and Vandy shows more than beating up on some cupcake at home. I thought MU was a 9 seed.

If MU can land Florida Atlantic this season to the Bradley Center, it's a bigtime sign that they do care about the RPI.

MU, just got to hope that the teams they bring in to the BC wins games and stays out of the RPI top 300 range. Last season, Texas A&M CC was a solid team coming into the 2010-11 season. Things didn't playout that way and they ended something like 10-21 with the RPI around 285.

I hope MU doesn't play Norfolk State in the Par. Jam.
271 in the RPI, last season.

Wake and Arizona, I remember that well! That is a long time ago.

I hope the fan base is loud for the Vandy game. (If it's on a Saturday, I hope the place can be filled) The fans sat on their hand for the NC State game two years ago.

Don't think we can play both Ole Miss and Virginia. I have to figure they are the 2 and 3rd rated teams while we are the top team in the tourney. It looks like it is a 4 game tourney as someones worst fear has been realized. We play a home game against Norfolk State before the first tourney game on island against Winthrop.
Lazar picking up where the BIG 3 left off....


brewcity77

So the Paradise Jam will include 4 games for Marquette. We first play a home game against Norfolk State, then travel to the Island to take on Winthrop. Next up is either Ole Miss or Drake, followed by our last game against Virginia, TCU, Drexel, or Norfolk State.

Also, it looks like another buy game will be Mount St. Mary's. They have a 3-year RPI average of 175.7 and return 5 of their top 6 scorers from a team that finished with a 230 RPI last year. This looks like another solid buy game. Here's the quote from Dave Golladay, a player on MSM:

@DG343 "What I'm hearing we've got the makings of a great schedule next season UConn, Marquette and more to come"

That leaves just one more buy game, assuming all the reports leading to the above schedule are true. I really applaud this effort by Marquette.

Mr. Nielsen

Great find on the Mount St. Mary's!

I know MU is looking for a buy game on Monday, Nov. 28.
