2024 Schedule...

One theory punctured. Might Class of '52 Stadium been unavailable for another reason? Did Princeton just not want to host? Other?

The site was picked well in advance. It’s how they do things now, just as if Navy somehow made the second round as a seven seed, they could end up “hosting” the second seed at their home stadium.

Was there a doubleheader at the Dome that day? Or were there 4 different sites, each feeding a winner to the Final Four?
 
Seems to confirm what we've been hearing.


Definitely a stacked OOC, lot's of tough games for sure, Delaware is definitely no gimmie either, though Vermont seems like it it will take a step back with all their losses to transfer and graduation. Still think the addition of Maryland was overkill when you look at how good Army, Cornell Hopkins are projected this year plus ND Duke and UVA in conference but if you feel you got a great team no better way to find out then to play an elite OOC.

Boston was dropped due to some scheduling conflict with the basketball team.

Huh, so another change will be needed. I know there was some talk of ALbany not being on this years schedule, maybe they will be re-added now. Sounds like it will have to be a Fri night game that weekend.
 
We're playing Notre Dame on Sat, Feb 24. It's Jim Boeheim Appreciation Day.

WBB has the Dome on Feb 25.

Looks like it will have to be a Fri night game then if SU's playing a home opponent. Not undoable by any stretch especially if the lax game starts at 5 to give the facilities crew plenty of time.
 
Another poster said Manhattan will be on the schedule which I believe has been mentioned here before. So the schedule at this point looks something like this?

Non-Conference:
Army
Cornell
Delaware
High Point
Hobart (?)
Hopkins
Manhattan
Maryland
Vermont

ACC:
Duke
North Carolina
Notre Dame
Virginia

That's 13 games. Will they add another? Last year they played 15 but that was without the ACC Tournament. I imagine they will scrimmage twice this spring which will leave 14 competition dates open, if the limit is 17.

I am kind of over playing Maryland, I think in terms of talent, SU is probably pretty even this year but they just don't seem to match-up well with what Tillman does. Perhaps that changes this year. For personal reasons I wish they were playing BU. Albany could make sense if it's a logistical thing, but I think adding another Ivy League team would be best. They are not apparently playing Princeton which is strange just playing them once.

Home game guesses: Army, Hight Point, Manhattan, Maryland, Vermont, Hobart, Duke, Virginia
Away/Neutral Site game guesses: Cornell, Delaware (n), Hopkins (n), UNC (n), Notre Dame

Only two true road games seems kind of unlikely but you never know? I am probably missing something super obvious.

I think its unlikely they only play 13 games, I suspect another mid level team will be added to the schedule. I would be pretty surprised if Albany doesn't find its way on there.

They are looking to replace Boston. Not sure who the opponent will be but Utah was mentioned.

Good news. Any info on Albany are they off for sure? Hobart is on though correct?

au contraire, cuse has played the terps well when they haven't had an equal team. given they want to be on the upswing, now is exactly when they want to play maryland. imo.

need to hope that 2 of 3 b/t army, cornell and delaware have good seasons, and that unc outperforms, or their sked may look a game or 2 short. boston would've been a good one, as they've managed to be there several seasons in a row. utah would be good insurance and give them another possible top 20.

the classic catch 22. cuse needs unc to be good, but not that good (and vice versa) so that they dont take their spot on a hypothetical bubble. or just be so good that it doesnt matter where anybody else finishes. on paper i def like cuse's roster more than unc's

ideally unc finishes as a clear top 20 win but does not seriously threaten for an at-large themselves. that would have been the case last season
 
No Albany this year.

Little surprising to be honest as I know how much the game means to Marr but I know there was animosity about SU not agreeing to rotate home and away.
