I wonder if this means that Syracuse is off the schedule. If so, can you really blame them, after the last 3 years?

So are these games confirmed for next year.

23 Total Confirmed:
18 Big East Games
Duke
Cuse
3 Games in Advocare (Mizzou, West Va, Nebraska, Marist, Long Beach St, Oregon State)

Is Cuse confirmed? Aren't they expanding to 20 ACC games next year, making us GTown, UConn up in the air?

awesome.  if cuse is off, maybe can get a series going with uconn

Also playing @ Long Beach State  - Return game from Lavin Days
Arizona State - Neutral site in Los Angeles

No idea about Syracuse
Maybe take a year break and start up again next year.
Should play one big out of conference game a year.
Let UCONN rot right now, only helping them by playing at MSG.

There were reports that Cuse does not wish to renew the series.

Mullin needs to schedule a 10-2 non conference record next year. And least 8 cupcakes.

1. Is next year finally the year that SJU will be ready for tournaments and a tough schedule?
2. Surprised that Syracuse would end it now sense they would be playing at the Garden.
3. Is SJU still the last out of conference team to beat Duke at home?

I like how next years schedule is looking. The Advocare Tournament has some high major teams but its not nearly as brutal as Maui. Its a good chance to win a game or two against high major teams. Duke matchup is great for us, chance for a big signature win and losing the game doesn't really hurt us. Wasnt aware of the Arizona State game but thats another chance to beat a team that should be improved.

I think Mullin has already made it crystal clear that his teams can overlook anyone, no matter what.

Yes.  Every year there's an article about it as Duke's non-conference home win streak grows.  Their streak is at 132 right now.

One big out of conf game? That's pretty weak. At least two or three.

Sorry meant 1 big out of conference home game - Duke or Syracuse.  I'd be happy with both.

I think we need to play UCONN again. A few cupcakes and that's it in my opinion. The RPI is so important and being or losing to LIU/Brooklyn does no good.

Good stuff. Love the Duke series and glad it's back on. Hopefully we continue getting better so this becomes an every year event.

Cuse is done. They didn't want to renew.
