Depending on how we do against IU I might fly back from Galway to see this.

All very strange

Looking through ESPN Events (owner of the tourney), it appears most of their other tourneys (Champions Classic, Jimmy V, Charleston, Advocare, Wooden) have released brackets.  Plus Maui and Battle for Atlantis have released theirs.  I get losing BUY games from random schools but why can't they set the Big 4 in Brooklyn?

[We R Final Four]

That was one hilarious joke.
We play Kansas.  Hahahahaha.
We may or we may not—-Just a joke.

Has there always been a day off between games at the neutral site tourney? I know we played every day in Maui. Is it different with only 2 games vs guaranteed 3?

That day is Thanksgiving Day.  ESPN probably has other events that day?

It depends on the tournament. I appreciate this one because it avoids having a game on Thanksgiving.

Didn't realize that. Makes sense. Thanks

[We R Final Four]

Thanksgiving tourneys at MSG in years past have been Fri/Sun.
Even though not at MSG, I think the Wed/Fri schedule maybe more favorable to travelers.

Not unusual.  The Orlando dealy plays on Thanksgiving but takes another day off before wrapping up the 3-game per team tourney IIRC

The NIT date  format is new this year. It was for the past couple of years. Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday.

[cheese ball chaser]

Off topic but anyone know when single game tickets go on sale?

Correct. Orlando, Conway, Charleston, Fullerton are Thur, Friday and Sunday formats. That's because the ESPN events don't play on Saturday's because the windows are jam packed with college football.

October 6

Flight times are nice and only $366 roundtrip from MSP.. need to consider a Weds-Sat trip. Anyone else from the Twin Cities going? Let's get a cheap room and split. (You must be OK with me mackin new york gurlz and bringing them back for a few minutes tho)

gomarquette.com has the Kansas game in Lawrence instead of NY.  I assume that is incorrect.

It is incorrect.

gomarquette.com is a rogue site that has been perpetuating half truths about Marquette basketball for years; Tom Crean donated $100,000, Golden Eagle is our mascot, QDoba is a dining option.

Stick with MUScoop, the official site of MUScoop, you'll never be misinformed.

[Dr. Blackheart]

So, Big East schedules due out after Labor Day. Scoop detective work suggests we open on the road.  Where?

Who gets the new arena conference lid lifter?  DePaul?

Also, who do we think gets NMD in the new arena?  Nova?
