That'll be nice to give Minnesota fans a chance to watch Dawson Garcia.

[BM1090]

Totally fine. In fact, I prefer the somewhat weaker field.

Next year we have:

Wisconsin
Probably Gavitt game
Big East/Big 12 challenge game
@ UCLA

The schedule should be just fine.

[brewcity77]

Also, as the clear marquee team in the field we are virtually assured a campus game. The four aforementioned games, these two, one campus, four others. That's good.

Will all future Beast/B12 games be in a home and home series format, or did they just jump on that this year because we already had the agreement in place with K-State?

[Mr. Nielsen]

First round games are not normally on TV. Just ESPN3.

I would think they would not be H/H.

This will be practically a Rhode Island home game.  Fortunately they should be down now that Hurley is gone.

This is what I don't get...why on earth would MU agree to play in a tourney with no TV for the first round(or any round for that matter)??

Looks like the defending National Champs did that for this year

[swoopem]

Is this a thanksgiving tournament?

Yep, you nail my point. It is a Saturday/Sunday games. Saturday is loaded with college football on the family of ESPN family of networks. Since, Virginia is in it this year, they made ESPN News for their first round game. ESPN3 is all ways the case.

Weekend before.

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

Count me in for this tournament. 

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Lame field, but I like to gamble, so may try to make this happen.

[YoungMUFan4]

Count me out for this one. No desire to go back to Connecticut anytime soon after last March.

[brewcity77]

Marquette will play Rhode Island & Minnesota will play UCF, per Jon Rothstein.

3 awful teams - sick!

We will be playing at UCLA, home against Wisconsin, possibly(?) a Gavitt game, possibly(?) a Big East/Big Twelve challenge game, and 20 Big East games, to go along with neutrals against Rhode Island and UCF or Minnesota. Our schedule has PLENTY of good opportunities on it.

Rothstein did a quick preview of UCLA yesterday and if they have everyone back, he said they will be competing for a PAC-12 championship and a high seed in the tourney.

Will be a tough test for sure, as will Madison.

[The Sultan]

Next year is fine for a weak tournament.

[MUfan12]

Pretty sure URI and Minny are looking at MU the same way.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Wish we draw Minnesota.
