Future Schedules

Home non-con last year was garbage, total garbage. It may be exceeded this year. Is the B1G still dancing with BE or did that end last year?

According to this article next year is the last year of the deal. Would be nice to get Michigan State or Purdue at home.

It would be great to get Michigan St on the schedule. It would keep us out of the Detroit Reginal if MSU goes there

Rothstein's report was accurate. Here's the official release from the Big East -- CU is at Oklahoma State on November 30. Third time in four years that the Jays have been on the road in this event.

There's no way they can have an atrocious home non-con two years in a row.. right?

Nebraska in Lincoln, the MTE in KC if I remember correctly, and now at OSU.

MTE in KC . . .. barf. Throwback to MVC non-con tournament days.

Hall of Fame Classic
Monday and Tuesday, November 20 and 21: Kansas City, Mo. (Jon Rothstein, College Hoops Today)

Boston College (ACC)
Colorado State (MW)
Creighton (Big East)

I believe the dates changed to Wed and Thur.

Well, that's wonderful. Another marquee noncon game that we get to watch on TV. Who wants a bunch of quality noncon home games anyway? You have to park, you have to walk, you have to stand in line sometimes, what if it snows... On top of that, this way we'll have more room on the home sked for teams with Dakota in their name. Maybe we could even bring in a Cleveland State or a Western Illinois. A guy can dream anyway.

Why does Creighton just keep rolling over on these premier games, anyway? This "thank you sir, may I have another" approach to meekly accepting non-conference assignments is baffling. We should have a little capital built up by now, and we should use it. I noticed that the BE-B12 series has the Big 12 hosting 6 of the 11 games. They could easily have flipped our game to give the BE a 6-5 hosting advantage and it wouldn't have made much difference. Seems like it would have been a good time to take a stand.

Some outstanding matchups though. UConn at Kansas (possibly a weakened Kansas, based on the stampede to the portal). Pitino at Huggins. Kelvin Sampson and Sean Miller mixing it up. Shaka's old team vs Shaka's new team. Some fun stuff.

Thinking about this further maybe CU worked this so they would get a roadie in Oklahoma for Trey’s benefit of playing close to home. Probably a good move. I take back my schedule whine but I already ate the cheese!!

If the 23-24 non-conf. schedule looked something like this, how would you feel?

To be clear, this is pure spitballing... Last season, the non-conf. consisted of 5 home, 1 road and 5 neutral games. Unless their are plans to have something like Vegas last season, I don't see how it ends up being fewer than 6 home games (with slim possibility of 7).

Mon., Nov. 6 - Buy Game
Thur., Nov. 9 - Buy Game (part of HOF Classic)
Sun., Nov. 12 - Buy Game (part of HOF Classic)
Thur., Nov. 16 - Home vs Purdue or Michigan State (Gavitt Games)
Wed., Nov. 22 - vs Loyola-Chicago (HOF Classic - Kansas City)
Thur., Nov. 23 - vs Boston College/Colorado State (HOF Classic - Kansas City)
Mon., Nov. 27 - Buy Game
Thur., Nov. 30 - at Oklahoma State (BE/B12 - confirmed)
Sun., Dec. 3 - vs Power 5 School (start of H/H)
Thur., Dec. 7 - at Power 5 School (start of H/H)
Sun., Dec. 10 - at Nebraska (game confirmed but no date confirmation yet)

Sat., Dec. 16 - Big East play begins

With the schedule above, the start of Big East play would be similar to last year. However, there's an extra week in the calendar this year for games to be played compared to when the NCAA Tournament begins. Selection Sunday isn't until March 17th (was March 12 this year).

Again, I'm just taking some guesses. Other than the game at Oklahoma State being confirmed by multiple sources yesterday and the 4 main teams for the HOF Classic in Kansas City (CU, Loyola, BC and CSU), I have zero knowledge of what the schedule could look like.

I'd personally be ok with the above schedule even though the HOF field isn't overwhelming. Big East should be very tough in '23-'24.
