There is a women's bball game in the Dome on the 20th. The womens lax schedule is not out yet but obviously that wouldn't really impact the men playing on the same day if they had a game on the 19th.

I think it's unlikely SU wanted to avoid Army, however, if Army was insistent on the 19th or that week I could see an issue from SU's perspective. With Maryland on the 15th and Harvard on the 22nd I am not sure they were looking to play Army mid week there. Be it right or wrong, that's not really a game you want in between two of the biggest OOC games on the schedule. Between Harvard and Utah makes much more sense to be honest, not sure if that was considered or not.

Playing Army is a pain in the ass but not having them on the schedule is a bit disappointing. That being said from an SU perspective it's probably not the worst outcome.  As good as Army plays versus SU, they (as documented by myself and Powellfan) usually struggle to keep up that level of play in the Patriot and inevitably the win or the loss as it's been the last few meetings usually doesn't look as good by the time May rolls around.

Interesting schedule for Cuse with no Albany, Hobart or Army.
