2021 Jimmy V Classic at MSG: Syracuse vs Villanova

[cliftonparksufan]

Good move. Nova will draw a big crowd and get the most buzz of all possible OOC options. We have the two best programs from the Northeast going head to head.

Let the trash talk begin!

Hopefully we are at 100% capacity by then. The only reason I would bring that up is because of a certain someone.

Cornell
Colgate
Villanova-MSG
at Georgetown
B4A- 3 games
4 TBA tomato cans
20 ACC games.

Maybe not Cornell. Out of respect.

It will be interesting to see if we play St Bonaventure. They are ranked 15th in the too early ESPN top 25 for next year. They only want to play us when they think they can win.

Pretty sure in 2016 we got in mainly due to winning in Atlantis and 2018 we were 11-2 in OOC including beating Maryland/Georgetown/UConn.

Agreed, but on paper that 2016 team is a lot better than our 2021 team. 2016 team had 3 guys go to the NBA and 1 guy in the G league... our 2021 team might have 2 NBA guys max? I'm also not optimistic about the defense from the 2021 team yet, assuming QG is gone.

 

[Eric15]

Absolutely love this matchup. Us going three years between games at MSG is a crime against humanity.

Damn, with Nova, Gtown, ACC/B10 challenge and 3 of these teams; Arizona State, Auburn, Baylor, Connecticut, Loyola Chicago, Michigan State, and Virginia Commonwealth, that’s one heck of an OOC schedule for us. Not to mention anyone else good we might add like St Bonnie as Tom mentioned.

Hopefully it works to our advantage. I feel like we are much better suited than say two years ago vs Iowa, Okie St and Penn St.

Villanova (100 miles away) will get credit for leaving their home state.

Syracuse (250 miles away) will not.

 

[Chris02M]

Give me Michigan State at the Dome or an away game at Indiana.

bigten opponent should be home since we went to the rat trap in jersey last yr

 

[Orangezoo]

I like we have at least 2 BE teams and maybe 3 in that list given we just added two former BE players who are both very high IQ guys.

 

[ORANGE OATH]

Wow, what a schedule!
Did I miss Michael Jordan has come out of retirement. Did the NCAA give him 4 more years, and he has committed to Syracuse !
Wow, buckle up this should be quite a ride !

 

[hoopsupstate]

It’s a schedule that can set a team up for the ACC or put it in a situation where you’re on or off the bubble before the ACC even starts. When was the last time we won at least 10 games before the ACC starts?

 

[Cusefan0307]

So I will definitely be making the trek down for this one.

2018 we went 11-2. We lost to Kansas in Miami and the Bonnies at home when I believe they called a terrible charge on Oshae at the end of regulation.

There was a terrible charge against him in regulation and he also missed a putback that would’ve won it in overtime. Or was it the other way around?

I can’t remember the specifics, but I remember we handed them the game. Happened a few times with that team that season.

 

[skurey]

Love a good hard schedule

Plenty of chances for quality wins and hopefully lots of entertaining basketball

other way around but yeah both were terrible (obv for different reasons)

Don't need play st bon.

Don't need play st bon.

If they want to come to the Dome, the same with Buffalo, I say let's go. I have been saying that we will have a good team. Our record is a question because of the schedule we will have. Let's have fun. the Committee doesn't hold it against you. Just the opposite.

Pretty sure we're not inviting Buffalo back anytime soon.

 

[721Comstock]

Pretty sure we're not inviting Buffalo back anytime.

FIFY.

 

[sutomcat]

Yes. I do not expect they will play in the dome for at least as long as JB is still the SU HC.

 

[dasher]

Pretty sure we're not inviting Buffalo back anytime soon.

I know and that is silly. Because they were gloating? That happens in every game. Maybe JB doesn't notice it when our guys do it. Just silly.
