hope our guys don't feel the need to also honor Dickie V and that Dickie V enjoys the night the same way that Louie C enjoyed his dedication night

That Detroit game is of waste time. I think there is no need for that game.

I don't mind it at all.  We have reached into Detroit to recruit with this class  (Sir'Dom) and this game certainly won't hurt our exposure to kids in that area.  A nationally televised game is always awesome for exposure.  And a road win like this will help our RPI much more than a win vs a team like Columbia at CA.  Detroit is an up and coming team and in what is sure to be a hostile environment it will be a tough game but I love playing mid-majors on the road.  Look at last season, our loss to Fordham turned us around.

I for one, like seeing Detroit (Mercy) on the schedule. Not every year, but once or twice (away & home). I usually complain when the same old opponents are scheduled year after year. That is why, I enjoyed the 2010-2011 season, with those teams that STJ played in the 2 tournaments.

That Detroit game is no waste of time. They have top 100 talents in Eli Holman and Ray McCallum. They hav a chance to be at the top of the Horizon League. Game is definitely not an easy game and might be a decent win for post season consideration. Also, as mentioned - Lab can prove that he gets his recruits chances to play near home, a good selling point.

Well, until the Johnnies go to play LSU or Tulane.

We owe them for the Lopez clank that put us out of our first tourney in ages.

It's a good idea to play road game in basketball hotbeds. Always seemed like Detroit is one of them. I mean seriously, what kid doesn't want to leave Detroit?

It wouldn't surprise me if we have an annual trip to the West Coast either...give the West Coast kids a trip home.

We owe them because Lopez took a characteristically stupid shot?

Re: Detoit being a waste of time, you cant and shouldnt schedule every non big east game against a Duke or Kentucky. Furthermore traveling to different regions of the country helps prepare them for the post season.

Any time on national TV is good

Well I plan on going to make the road trip to lexington for the Kentucky game. Detroit maybe I'll just watch that one on tv although airfares pop up cheap to detroit a lot

There is a reason why they are so cheap

I know last years sked was brutal. No doubt. 

But man, I think this one's worse.
