2021-22 Non-Conference Schedule

[brewcity77]

So let's start with what we know, which can be further augmented by what we learned and effectively had confirmed today.

• UW-Madison (A)
  
• Big 12 Battle game
  
• UCLA (H)
  
• Gavitt Game
  
• Three of West Virginia, St. Bonaventure, Clemson, Ole Miss, Temple, Boise State, Elon (N)
  
• Four guarantee games

The Big 12 game is most likely on the road because we played at home last year. The Gavitt Game is likely to be at home because Marquette plays those opposite to the UW-Madison site.

When I tweeted out expectations for the schedule today, Mike Broeker corrected my assumption of a home Charleston Classic game by saying "No Charleston campus game. Doesn't exist anymore. 4 buy games."

With an 11-game max (due to 20 conference games) that essentially tells us Marquette will play 4 home guarantee games and we will play both the Gavitt and Big 12 Battle games.

UWM ?

UWGB?

[tower912]

And break our winning streak against UWM?

You spelled extend wrong.

[tower912]

But I spelled 'break' right.

Hope we get Clemson for an OMP vindication gamel

Mr. Nielsen :
Is New Hampshire one of the Four buy games? So does this mean we are at a full 31 game schedule

Thanks

New Hampshire is one of the four buy games. MU to play 31 full games. 20 Big East games.

What became of the announced Big East/PAC-12 Challenge?  Is that no longer happening?  I believe some games were supposed to be played in Vegas and NYC, if I'm not mistaken.

Only 8 teams from each conference are participating. If Mr. Neilsen is correct (and he always is on this stuff) that may mean that we are one of the three teams left out in the cold.

I'm not sure that was ever announced. UCLA and Arizona wanted no part of it, so the idea crashed.

Looks like it was announced.  Perhaps we are just not in it?  But I don't think there's been any announcement or update since the SBJ ran a story on it last May.

Most of the conference vs conference events are scheduled through 2022. That's why they booked two games with Notre Dame in 2022-23 and 23-24.

Humm. Good find! I guess we shall see if anything comes from this.

They could count the UCLA as part of challenge. If I recall. When the Big 12 Challenge started we were in the middle of a home and home with K State and they counted that game as part of the challenge.

Could be, but the original plan was to have all of the games take place in Vegas this season and NYC next season. Having UCLA at MU would be a significant departure....though that game could explain why MU is one of the three teams left out.

Marquette will host SIU-Edwardsville on November 9th. The game will serve as the season opener for both programs.

Carlos Curtis used to post here and is a big MU fan, iirc.

Looking forward to seeing Desmond Polk in action. He got some good experience as a freshman so hopeful he can do well in his return to his home town.

Was also nice that Carlos Curtis got some meaningful  playing last year for SIU E as well.

Always good to see local kids making progress
