We got this.

[Galway Eagle]

Thinking we'll probably play each team twice once home and once away.

[muguru]

Here's what i want to see...ZERO home Sunday games(road is fine), no 3 game road trips. No 8:00 home starts, only 1 or 2 6PM home starts. Lots of Saturday home games.  I don't think that's asking for too much, is it??

[tower912]

I think you should prepare for disappointment.      Since FX1 wants to have double headers, there has to be a game starting at 9 PM Eastern/ 8 PM Central.    Three schools in the central time zone.   Nobody wants to watch DePaul.    Which leaves Creighton and MU.      And they need Sunday programming once football is over.

The Big East office has a leak.

Guru just a needs something more to complain about.

guru, we were unbelievably blessed last year with a great schedule.  Hope for the best, expect something less.

This would be fine, just don't want any Sunday home games during football season.

That's okay, just put MU's 8:00 games @ DePaul and @ Creighton So easy MU's doubleheader games can be at 6..I'd rather have home games at 6 then 8.

How is this statement different from years past? Also, many doubleheader for the past couple of years had been 5:30/7:30. Truth be told, other than year 1 of the FOX Sports Big East, the 8pm games have been limited.

Well stated, chickadee. I strongly concur!

We got rid of the Admirals

[Mr. Nielsen]

We got rid of the Admirals

Funny how fast the years go. The Admirals are going into season four at UWMPA.

We got rid of the Admirals

What I'm mostly talking about is that we got 6 of our 9 conference home games on the weekend.  I's be really surprised if that happened again.

[We R Final Four]

Yes....and our best non con games as well.

[GOO]

I'm fine with Sunday games.  The more Friday, Saturday, or Sunday games the better.  Ya, Saturday night games are the best, but there are only so many of those to go around.

Bad teams on a Monday or Tuesday at 8:00 are pretty much a waste of a ticket for me.

I understand, but MU had third pick at the BC. And, the Bucks are more inclined to plus up Saturdays with basketball operations is my observation. Efficiency> Staff for 8 hours, swapping out only the floors, same seating configurations versus ice and hockey, concessions maximized/food and beverage costs minimized, get shared fans downtown for a full day of basketball. And the Bucks owners know that both basketball teams share fans with the Packers...so Sunday's are better for gymnastics-like events that draw a very different target.  FF owners are for profit. The BC was non-profit.

Throw in Fox who is all NFL on Sundays until early February.

Of course, I will likely be wrong.

#AdmiralsNoMatta.

We used to be priority #3 then #2 and now we're priority #458.  It's no longer the Bucks then us, it's the Bucks and then every concert, monster truck show, Kevin Hart special and WWE match that the Billionaires want to schedule. 

Last year we got a Sunday afternoon and the Bucks were on a road trip, why?  Because Monster Truck had Friday, Saturday and Saturday evening

The biggest issue with 8:00 tips is they NEVER start right at 8:00 almost always closer to 8:30. Yes, that half an hour does matter.

8:15pm tip.

Yet, MU had only 3 of those home games last season.

[oldwarrior81]

but didn't Fox change the start times of many of the early games last season?

The start time was moved to 6:30 eastern on doubleheader nights, which allowed the 9:00 eastern starts to actually be near 9:00.
Previously with the 7:00 eastern starts they would push back the 9:00 tip to around 9:15 to accommodate the first games possibly running long.

That's 3 too many...plus if you include non conference starts I think it was more than 3.
