As Orangelax astutely pointed out yesterday, Utah is no longer showing the SU game on its schedule and it appears the game will likely be cancelled. This would leave SU in a tough spot as just about every other conference is playing their conference tournaments that weekend.
However, SU would have some options First Robert Morris and Cle State are the other two independent programs both of whom have nothing scheduled after 5/1. ROMO has already played three other ACC teams this year, so this would seem to be the logical choice along with the fact that I believe they are the best Ind team at this time.
The other option would be teams who don't qualify for their conf tournament. The NEC, Patriot, AE, CAA and Big East are only taking the top 4 teams for their respective conf tourney. Obviously there is still some jocking to be done, but teams like Bingo, Colgate, Navy (potentially), St. Johns, Marquette, Merrimack, and Towson amongst others should all be available as they will know at least a week before that they didn't' qualify for their conf tournaments.
I hope* SU is out there making some contingency plans and reaching out to some of the teams I noted above, Gate, St. Johns, Towson are near locks to miss their tourneys plus ROMO with no tourney would be my top 4.
