2014-2015 Schedule

@JonRothstein: St. John's will host both Saint Mary's + Long Beach State next yr + also play Tulane at the Barclays Center, source told @CBSSports. #sjubb

Like them all, Tulane returns their two leading scorers, two leading assist men, and two leading rebounders. St marys is always a good squad and returns their best player. Long beach returns their 4 best players which include two pretty solid transfers and a couple kids from the NYC area. Schedule is shaping up nicely.

Sorry, meant to post thread in Jungle section. Please move.

This info is bloody lovely.  Cheers mate.

The St. Mary's game is interesting.  I assume it is a return game from Lavin's first year when they played St. Mary's during the opening night ESPN marathon (that game was on at like 1 AM NY time).

The other thing is does that game get played at MSG?  St. Mary's certainly warrants it with their consistent play over the last 10 years or so but I'm not sure if they have a fan base in the area or that will travel.

I'd have to think the game will be in Queens.

Tulane game at Barclay will be a graveyard.

One of the biggest scheduling mistakes last year was not having any true road games before conference play started. I think it hurt the team out of the gate in BE play.
Hopefully its a mistake they dont repeat

penn state game I sat 1st row exactly center court. I will be at the same place this game. Atleast they have beer and comfortable seats.

Well Syracuse is on our schedule so that's a true road game.

On somewhat related note, Ed Manetta now Director of Sports Programming (College BBall, Boxing and High School) at Barclays...Told him he better not try to kill the BET

@LBST 2015 will most definitely either be on the way or returning from Maui. Too many miles, too much in expenses to think otherwise.

One thing that always jumps out to me in OOC scheduling is finding out which coaches are actually friendly and respect one another enough to matchup. Randy Bennett, Dan Monson, Bo Ryan, great basketball minds. I like the company Lavs keeps.

Like Shemp among the geniuses who are the real Three Stooges.

Having the chance to beat Cuse and Zags in the same year is defiantly something to get excited about. Cuse has been torturing us for years and the Zags have crushed our NCAA dreams (especially when we were #2 in 2000)...Let's get our shite together this year and make it a great year!

Credit to Lavin for learning his mistakes from last year and challenging his team for this year.

Yea, but there are so many kids from NY who go to SU, won't that really be like a home game for us?

"The Red Storm have been a different team over the past two years when the 6-5 Pointer (5.9 points, 3.2 rebounds last season) has played expanded minutes at power forward and he should now have that type of opportunity next season with the departure of JaKarr Sampson, who left St. John's early for the NBA."  Is this true?  Anyone know the +/- with dom at the 4?

No need to get there early. Sheesh!

@JonRothstein: Fordham/LIU + St. John's/Tulane will be a double header at the Barclays Center on 12/28/14, source told @CBSSports. #SJUBB
