Don't sleep on Grand Canyon. That's a deceptively tough home game. Louisville played there this past year (won by 9) and Pitino called the toughest road environment he's seen. I'm sure the students will bring it like that again for another high major opponent in SJU.

Nice to see the Johnnies challenging themselves and scheduling tough.

Oh i'm very nervous about that game. The Suns legend Dan Majerle is the coach out there. I'm sure thats how that game got set up, old buddies got to talking and put the game together.

I believe we also have Long Beach State on the road next year but waiting for someone to confirm that game is still on.

Xavier:

Baylor 11/28
Colorado
Cincinnati
Games against 2 of Hampton, Rider, Northern Arizona and UC Irvine

That looks to be a good schedule. A lot of potential resume builders

You'd assume that it'd be 2 of the teams that haven't missed yet in the first 2 years... so 2 of Creighton, DePaul, Georgetown, Providence, St John's, or Villanova.
