2012/2013 Schedule

I am facing a full court press to find out when we'll be playing Pitt at MSG this year?  When will that information be known?  Many thanks.

We should not be embarrassed by our non conference schedule,compared to Hoyas! Shades of Big John and St. Leo's!

I saw a lot of good teams on that schedule.

I don't think their schedule is stronger than ours.  We don't have the strongest this year, but I don't think it was by our choice.  Just the way it worked out with Duke on hiatus and ucla ending our series.

We have a chance to one high major team before January. Baylor. A team that lost a lot of experience.
Georgetown plays Florida, Indiana/UCLA, Tennessee and Texas. Not to mention quality mid majors in Western Carolina, American, Duquesne & Liberty.

All I see for us is a possibility of Baylor or maybe Murray State. Every other game is basically easy, or should be.

Our schedule is designed to give us practice coming together as a team. If we do that and we perform in the conference play, we'll fine, and that places a lot of pressure on just conference play. We phage practically nothing to gain but experience until January.

Hopefully we can at least play Baylor.

The pressure is almost always on conference play.  That said, "taking care" of the non-conference teams regardless of strength can really do a lot to push you into the dance if you are borderline at the end of the year. 

The team is very young and needs time to play together to gell as a team,develop chemistry and for Lavin to determine the starting lineup. The easier schedule will allow this ,plus Branch will be on the team just in time for the rigorous BE schedule which will give us plenty of games against quality competition. I dont think playing UK early last year w our  young ,thin team helped us. Furthermore, the easier early schedule will help w confidence. Lets hope we dont have a let down and loose to the patsies. A long as we get our share of Ws we ll be fine.

I hear ya about the #1 ranked team, but we have nothing outside of Charleston that will help us prepare for the BE. South Carolina is awful, and they lost what little they had. UNC Ashville was a nice story last March, but how much of that is even returning? They are losing their top 3 scorers. We should house them.

Fordham? St.Francis? NJIT? Hard to even get excited about these. I'd like to see us play someone with a fighting chance.

Playing cupcakes never seems to hurt the development of schools like Cuse who are always a player in the post-season.  Basketball is basketball.  Being tested is good, but still more important is developing the schemes and chemistry to take us the distance.  The Big East is a long season and we won't be deer-in-headlights when league play begins. We do return 4 starters who know what it's like to play against the big boys.

What is more important is that we don't tank before the Big East schedule and win as many as possible.  How we are
playing is more important than who we play.  I too would like one or two more big names in there, but if we get Baylor and a few more tests from south carolina, Detroit etc, we'll be fine.
