Good series for SHU. Koch Arena is a tough place to grab a win.

Congrats to both Cuse and GTown for keeping a rivalry alive

Last season Boeheim said he would like Cuse to have a two game rotation each year between G'Town, Nova and St. John's. So if G'Town becomes a yearly event, not just the four years, look for Nova and St. John's to have alternating years with Cuse. I would like the Johnnies schedule a long term home and home with UConn but have heard nothing on that front except that I read that UConn was interested some time ago.

It looks like the Big East is scheduling some pretty big games in the non-conference. For the most part the strengths of schedule should be very strong. Just a recap of some of the more prominent games for each school:

Providence: Kentucky (Road), Notre Dame and FSU (neutral), BC (Road), Miami (neutral)
St. John's: Duke (home), Syracuse (Road) Plus Pre-Season NIT Field.
Creighton: Oklahoma (Home), Ole Miss (Neutral), Nebraska (Road)
Butler: Northwestern, Tennessee (Road), Indiana, Plus Battle 4 Atlantis
DePaul: Diamond Head Classic field
G'Town: Kansas, Indiana (neutral), Battle 4 Atlantis
Quette: Wisconsin, Arizona State, Ohio State (road), Orlando Classic field
Seton Hall: Rutgers, Georgia (road), Wichita State (road), Paradise Jam
Villanova: Syracuse, Legends Classic field, Big 5
Xavier: Missouri, Cincy, Auburn (All road), Alabama, Wooden Legacy

That is a very challenging slate for the most part. Fox will get a good number of these as well.

Just looking-
Providence- none
St John's- Duke
Creighton- Oklahoma
Butler- Northwestern, Indiana
G'Town- Kansas
Marquette- Wisconsin, Arizona St
Seton Hall- Rutgers
Villanova- Syracuse, Temple
Xavier- Alabama

Fox really when you look at it isn't getting a good number. Maybe some of those neutral site ones will go Fox, but not many. Definitely not proportional at all. Looks like 11 home games, 14 road/neutral site, and then all the tournaments(yes Fox will get some of the NIT games for instance, but it's the 1st/2nd round games, not the sf/finals at MSG). Also, not sure that some of the games like Northwestern and Rutgers are exactly huge games.

Really think a thing Fox is going to have to do is invest in at least 1, if not 2 of those exempt tournaments. It's a killer that all 10 teams are in those, and Fox gets NONE of them. To me, if I was Fox, that would be one of the first things I did quite frankly.

Wow, just .500 would be great against that slate!
