Do we know if we are playing the early or late game at MSG

[cliftonparksufan]

next Wednesday. I know some people speculated that we would always play in the late game and that makes sense, but just wondering if anyone seen it yet.

Yes, Virginia Tech won tonight. Not sure what time but I would assume the late game

Glad to be of help on my first post The SU athletics site says next Wednesday at 9pm, following the first game at 7pm, which means it will likely be a bit later than 9 for the tip off in my opinion. http://www.suathletics.com/news/2011/11/15/MBB_1115114842.aspx

Did I read that correctly and see that we are the only team with even a VOTE in the current top 25 in this tournament? (someone might change that of course if they upset us) I thought this was the preseason NIT, not Coaches vs Cancer, Carrier Classic, or the actual NIT. I'm a little disappointed, as sometimes you can face 2 currently ranked teams in a preseason tournament, and establish a bit of legitimacy if you win it. We all know SU generally doesn't schedule marquis non-conference matchups like other schools, so I was looking forward to a chance to see at least one in the tournament. But from many years of being a fan, I know even a non-ranked team could take us out. Kind of a no-win situation the way I look at it, but maybe some of you see it differently. Heaven knows we have enough "tune-up" games for JB to experiment with line-ups and strategies coming up. Sure, winning by 20+ excites me, but winning by a decent margin against a reputable team is far more exciting to me.

Game definitely won't tip until 9:30. Even without a top 25 opponent, these will still be "BCS" games, which is nice
