If you could make the schedule
« on: November 24, 2014, 08:33:02 PM »
No date conflicts, or travel issues. What 12 teams would you like to see this years team have scheduled?
In no order:

@Purdue:  Keady homecoming would be entertaining.
Oregon:  Nike at UA
Cuse:  NYs team rights?
Duke:  great at the garden, not so at Cameron
UMBC:  great mascot
@Princeton:  local and style not seen everywhere
@Indiana:  love to see a game there, even match
Hofstra:  get the island behind the team!
Clemson:  the SJU of the ACC
@Vermont: great place in November
UW Mileaukee: seem to remember similar styles of play
@Temple@Palestra: top5 arena for college ball and Jordan homecoming

9-3 or 8-4 OCC

UCLA. Wish I could have it out there a few years back.
Also, it would be nice to keep some of the old BE rivalries in tact, such as Uconn.

I don't think there is an SJU of the ACC. Clemson could have a great program, but they are a football school first, and a BCS school at that. They could care less about basketball. 2nd amendment sales however... They f'n love.

Like the new big east. Would play Syracuse and UCONN every year. Would play a Holiday tourney similar to this years NIT. Would rotate local teams, like Ohio State does in football.

was trying to find a team from the ACC that has had a similar past 20 years. South Carolina might be better from the SEC.

I would rather play Michigan State instead of Purdue since Gene Keady's existence on the SJU bench means nothing to no body.

Schedule Iona instead of UMBC and Manhattan instead of Milwaukee.

Why would we agree to a road game at Princeton and at Vermont?  No win situation there for us.

Oregon?  How about Arizona or UCLA?

Hofstra, Duke, Cuse, Indiana all yes.

Clemson?  How about UConn instead since we are playing Cuse and Duke from the ACC?and since UConn is an AAC team, delete Temple and play Kentucky or Kansas.

I love the logic for the UMBC game :P


My schedule:

@Hawaii    Why not give the kids a free trip to Hawaii? - unless you're Pitt and you lose....

Duke
Syracuse
UConn
Kentucky

@Gonzaga      West Coast Trip
@UCLA
@Arizona

Hofstra      The locals, every year, could alternate home/away
Iona
Manhattan
Fordham


Pretty brutal schedule, but in my make believe season my starting lineup is: Jordan, D'lo, Sampson, Harkless, and Obekpa, with Branch, Greene, Pointer, Thomas and Adonis (who is 25 lbs lighter and in peak condition) coming off the bench....also, I'd be coaching the team.

You have to play a preseason tourney which counts as two games I think
You have to play at least 4 tuneups from a group such as Wagner, LIU Brooklyn, Fordham, Marist, Monmouth etc.
I would play Manhattan or Iona yearly
I would say you must play Cuse and UConn every year

I would like to play a team in So Cal yearly
I would like to play North Carolina Kansas Kentucky Duke Florida Arizona every so often

Gonzaga should be a home and home always
