Big East 2021-2022 Season Thread

[mileskishnish72]

Could be like last year when they announced the first 3-4 games (I think in Dec., even though I'm too lazy to look it up) and then fleshed it out only around New Year's. Covid got the blame, but it might have set a precedent.

All of the power conferences are out, so any day now...

In a way. Pac-12 doesn't have exact dates. Big Ten, SEC and Big 12 still don't have TV. The delay has to be with TV for the Big East.

All I had to do was think it (above), and Rothstein says it's this week. Happy to be wrong, hope to be making travel plans soon.

TV and pro leagues, since schools like MU, SH, and G-town share arenas with multiple pro teams (SH with one) and St. John's and Villanova share their secondary arenas part time with multiple pro teams.

Pump the brakes on the St. John's bandwagon

Three home games to end the season, I like it.

I see what you did there.

Tipoff times and television designations will be announced at a later date.

Creighton at home on New Year's Day?  Yes, please.

I like this schedule.  Only four "buy" games. 

But it annoys me that they are putting "BYE" on their schedule.  College basketball doesn't really have bye weeks right?

Where do you see that?

Edit: Yes, they do.

Bucks play at 5pm at FF. Guessing this will be a 11am game.

[Galway Eagle]

Where do you see that?

Oh, on the MU photo tweet. Thanks.

I know they *have* bye weeks.  I just have never seen them indicated like that on a schedule before.

Any idea when National MU day will be announced?

Not until next week when times and TV come out.

That stretch from January 19th through February 12th could be brutal. Home games against Villanova (perceived top BE team) and Xavier (perceived top 3 BE team) and 5 road games against teams projected to be at least a little better than us this season. If we're not careful we could go almost a month without a win.

Last three games of the season all very winnable. Could have some momentum heading into BET. Maybe we pull a Georgetown

Really? Then you must be frequently annoyed if adding the word "BYE" to the tweet of a college basketball schedule sets you off.

I'm over it now. Thanks for your concern.
