[MU82]

That's some nice math by Rothstein.

Rothstein:

MU at PC Dec 19th

[brewcity77]

Rothstein is starting to leak conference games. Hopefully that means they’ll announce the full schedule today

Per Dave Borges, full schedule is coming Friday.

After opening at Providence on 12/19, I imagine we either host either Butler or Georgetown on 12/23 or play at Creighton on 12/25.

Why?

Looks like our game at St. John's is also being held at MSG.

Zach had Georgetown playing twice at MSG.

Zach had Georgetown playing twice at MSG.

I saw that as well. My guess would be Creighton once, and Gtown once.

The Big East is actually punishing Ed for being a traitor so they’ll play all road games this season.

AKA the world's most umami arena

[brewcity77]

Why?

Per Rothstein, here are the Big East openers:

Marquette at Providence (12/19)
UConn at Seton Hall
Villanova at Creighton
Xavier at St John's

And he's reporting these are the current 12/23 games:

Villanova at DePaul
St John's at UConn
Seton Hall at Xavier

If we open with Providence, we won't play them again. That leaves just Butler, Georgetown, and Creighton. Butler and Georgetown likely play each other or host DePaul to open Big East play. I expect whichever team hosts that game will travel to Fiserv on 12/22 or 12/23.

Creighton's Christmas game was so popular with the fans both in person and on TV, I'm guessing they'll do that again. Not impossible to imagine us playing at Providence 12/19, hosting BU/GT on 12/22, then playing on Christmas in Omaha.

Regular season will end March 9th at Cintas. Marquette closes the Big East campaign at Xavier. X has parking passes for sale that reveal all their home games.

Some at Creighton leaked the CU schedule.
MU @ Creighton 1/6
Creighton @ MU 2/3

[cheebs09]

Some at Creighton leaked the CU schedule.
MU @ Creighton 1/6
Creighton @ MU 2/3

Feels like that could be NMD.

So their place on xmas break and out place on a Saturday? Yes please!

So their place on xmas break and out place on a Saturday? Yes please!

It's Omaha, NE.  Their building will be packed and loud.

Exactly. Creigton is the pro team in town. Place is a Zoo, 365.

Georgetown at Marquette 12/22

[Jay Bee]

So Freemantle AND Hunter likely out for the year? Ooofta (sic)

Is Freemantle official? I still have him stated for 1/2 of his minutes.

Xavier could fall into that Georgetown and Butler tier.

Abou Ousmane will need to be great for them.

No but Cbs sports reporting someone from “within the program” saying they don’t expect him at all this season

They have a lot of interesting pieces and Miller can coach...but that is a lot of fresh blood on one roster without Hunter and Freemantle. Claude would be the only returner who played in even half their games list season. I have no idea what to expect from the Serbian and the Lithuanian they just picked up.

[PGsHeroes32]

Pretty unlikley they pick up that much foreign size if they are not expecting him to likely be out all year or close to it.

I heard last week both were likely out for the year, but chalked it up to rumor. Not sure if this is just that same rumor getting picked up nationally or if Freemantle will join Hunter on the shelf.

[Mr. Nielsen]

Schedule comes out at 10am
