Season Starts Nov 25

[GooooMarquette]

With only seven weeks until the season starts, they better start figuring this sh*t out, especially since they just lost 2 of their better games.

I'm sure they are working behind the scenes to get this put together, but I don't see the normal need to rush in getting it out. Typically, the hurry is to accommodate fans' schedules for getting to games, but since most everybody will be watching on TV this year, the release seems less urgent.

Aren't travel bans going to play a role in this? Does the state of Connecticut want a team from Wisconsin coming to play games without quarantining? Gotta believe these events will be local intrastate tournaments.

Saw a story that there will be no college basketball games at the XL Center in Hartford until the fall of 2021.

I don't think this will be a problem if it is a bubble.  They will be tested daily and will quarantine/isolate in the hotel if there is spread.

I will believe there will be college basketball this year when the first game is actually played.

Crazy to be picking seats today and not even have a schedule.

We usually don't have a schedule when we pick seats.

So we get to play them in an empty arena for their home game and then get to host them in a full Fiserv Forum (god I hope we're able to fill it up by then)?  Sweet.  Except that I was planning to go out there for the game before covid hit.

That will be a very tough opponent. They bring back almost every significant player from last season and add former 4/5-star Johhny Juzang as a waiver transfer from Kentucky. They finished last season ranked #80 in Kenpom which isn't very impressive...but that was because of a very slow start to the season (8-9 with losses to #108 Hofstra, @#127 Washington St, and #263 Cal State Fullerton). Once they settled into Cronin's system, they finished the season 11-3 including 4 top 50 wins (#19 Zona x2, and #35 Colorado x2). That was against the PAC 12....so you have to take it with a grain of salt....but they look like one of the top 3 teams in their conference, if not the favorite. Should be a fun one.

Yep, and an early season game for an MU team with so many new players. A win would be HUGE, but I won't freak out if we lose.

Anyone have a JS subscription to find out about the MU schedule here?

[TheTulsaWarrior]

Want to schedule max 7 non-conference games.  GB is in that mix.

Here is the schedule part
"Barring any coronavirus disruptions, the Golden Eagles still will play at home against Oklahoma State (Dec. 1) and its annual rivalry game against Wisconsin (Dec. 4). MU's game at UCLA is scheduled for Dec. 11. MU also is hoping to schedule a matchup with UW-Green Bay."

Badger game gets moved to a Friday. Must be for TV purposes.

Hair that is braided is much much longer than you think it is.

Is this multi-team event you speak of confirmed, or are you just assuming it is in the works? 

Honestly, would be nice to get a couple mid majors on the schedule that would be winnable games.  Right now we're already guaranteed 23 of our 27 max games are high majors.  Is a .500 season going to be good enough to get into the big dance this year without teams fattening up on cupcakes in the non con?

Who cuts their hair in 2020?  I haven't cut mine since like January.  Doesn't grow as fast as it used to, but probably last time in my life I will be able to (somewhat) appropriately rock long hair, so why not.
