Early Non-Con schedule

[muwarrior97]

Marq hoopers coming to Cali in November and Vegas in December, good opportunity for the West Coast alums to get out and see some hoops, looking forward to the short roadies from NorCal

Where is UW-Milwaukee...I so want to play them again

The impression I got after the UWGB loss is that we likely won't see either of them on the schedule any time soon.

With the loss of ND, L'ville, UC, Uconn, Syracuse & Pitt, MU can't give up home games to be playing at any mid-major. They will be doing H/H's with power schools.

Good.

Marquette is always going against the best interests of college basketball in the state of Wisconsin. Why is Buzz so afraid?

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Nov. 16 vs Ohio State will be a day game. Bucks play at the BC at night. Game might fall down to FS2 for the game.

We could move the game to prime time if we played the game on a boat

I don't think we should play UW-Milwaukee.  I thought Crean made a big mistake signing up for that series to play again.  It's been beaten to death, does us little good to play it in my opinion.  Others see it differently.

@MarquetteMBB: Rare opportunity during #mubb conference schedule should be announced this week.

Not sure what this is about...maybe a high profile non-con game to be added to the conference portion of the schedule? Possibly replacing one of the buy games?

I think everyone might be getting their hopes up here. It could be something lame like 3 consecutive home conference games, a couple of Saturday night conferences games in a row...both of those would meet the "rare opportunity" criteria. Is it any coincedence that this tweet came out the same day the Bucks released their schedule?? MU knowing what days/times the Bucks had at home, could have simply and quickly scheduled some Saturday night games, specifically in January when there are three open Saturday nights.

I can't wait to find out what it is!

Maybe it's because the State of Wisconsin has no concern for the interests of Marquette basketball.

Agreed---Load up with the big boys even if on the road.

You're always going to have buy games. It's stupid to think or suggest otherwise. But the Milwaukee and Green Bay games are more of a no-win situation. Win and at best you were supposed to anyway and at worst you are a bully beating up on the weaker local teams. Lose and you are a laughing stock and hear about it for years. If we played UIC, Valpo, or any other weak sister type school, you wouldn't see the same stigma attached to the games.

We were a Dominic James buzzer beater away from getting embarassed by Valpo.

St. John's vs. Marquette on February 1st in the garden as part of a tripple header.

Next Game Georgetown vs. Michigan St followed by

Knicks vs. Miami Heat.

[bradley center bat]

So, MU is playing at road game at MGS versus St. John's, followed by G'town & Michigan State. Plus, the NBA game at night has nothing to do with the two college games.

MU is playing in New York on Super Bowl Saturday.  I like that.

The coverage of the game will be greater due to the triple- header.   Attendance...?

[bradley center bat]

It's really not a tripleheader. You will need two different tickets for the event.

[Spotcheck Billy]

So will I need a tablet or a laptop to watch this game on the plane to Montego Bay Feb. 1?

And if we had, no one in the state of Wisconsin would remember it a year later, much less the eternity that a loss to Milwaukee or Green Bay would (will) last. When was the last time you heard anyone talking about the North Dakota State game?

We lost to UWGB (at home!) in the '94 (Sweet 16) and '95 (NIT Runner Up) seasons.  I don't think anyone remembers those years as years we lost to UWGB.

As iI remember it James scored 17 points in a row.

MU fans will have a hard time understanding that the home schedule will be nothing compared to what it once was.  The new Big East has GTown and Villy, the rest is nothing, add the bad
home games in Nov. and Dec. and you the fans will be getting ripped off.  Losing Pitt, Louey, ND, Syracuse are big time games that will be missed.

I understand the need for buy games. Every team does it. I agree completely on the games we lose as a result of NBE.

It'll lack the traditional major powers coming in.  But I think you underestimate how quickly people will develop emotional rivalries with some of the new schools.  I mean most people that I know had XU or Creighton or Butler on their short list before landing at Marquette and because the schools are so similar rivalries will develop and make the games big.
