wow, between this and Atlantis, we are ramping up the OOC next year, I like it.

Winner gets the Swider Trophy.

The Cole Swider Invitational.

Swider against his old team, should be good!

I was just about to say the same. Add a home game in the ACC/B1G and I assume Georgetown and we are doing ok for scheduling.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Fun! If we are scheduling this difficult then JB must assume we are going to be pretty good.

 

[Trueblue25]

I will be there.

This is fantastic

I completely forgot about ACC/Big10, most seem to be picking us as a top 25 team next year, so likely we will be paired against a pretty strong Big 10 team.

Nova, Georgetown, and possibly Storrs all on the OOC schedule. Nice.

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

It seems like that, but the ACC could also be down so they need to ramp up the OOC schedule difficulty.

 

[Cusefan0307]

So very good chance we get all 3 of Georgetown/UConn/Nova. Need to at least win 2 of 3.

Why not hit Seton Hall and Providence also?

Settle all family business.

We should schedule DePaul in Chicago at 10pm on a Thursday night on CBSSN to really get the "we should still be in the Big East" crowd a taste of the GOOD life

so, Hurley can be the Moe Greene of this scenario. I like it.

hey, I am in, those are the only regular season Cuse hoops games I have seen in person since moving to Illinois! (saw the Gonzaga Sweet 16 game in 2016 too).

Settle all family business.

The Soprano and Patriarca familes would have to agree

 

[Cuseball]

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

Agreed. Conferences will probably match up Duke and UNC vs Ohio State or Michigan. Wouldn't mind having the chance to play Purdue (they return everyone and should be solid) or Maryland.

Not sure we will but a non conference game against St. Bona would be great too!

I'm a bit worried with our tough non con additions. Every year we seem to sneak into the tourney due to inflated win numbers/no bad losses in non con followed by a mediocre ACC performance.

With all the different pieces still figuring each other out at the beginning of the year, there is less room for error in non con. Might be able to make it up in an even worse ACC next year.

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!

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.

 

[Charbroil]

Nice. Another game to improve the out of conference SOS.

Now if we decide to not play Georgetown this year then the SOS will really skyrocket!!
