Rutgers finally has released its schedule, although I am reminded by RU board denizens that this is around the time it's usually released.
Key home games: Stanford (11/11), LSU (11/25), Maryland (12/3), Temple (12/30), Louisville (1/20), UConn (2/5), Notre Dame (2/19), DePaul (2/27)
Key away games: GWU (11/18 ), Duke (12/6), Tennessee (2/11), UConn (3/3 - BEast finale)
RU also will be participating in the first-ever Maggie Dixon Classic, at MSG in New York on December 8.
Good Knights
Edited to add: I see someone beat me by one minute.

If my post had been as detailed, you'd have beaten me, by MORE than one minute!

St. John's, being a BEastie and all, also announced today. No nice neat link yet, but the OOC highlights include NC State at Vermont's tournament (followed by either Brown or Vermont), at Hartford on 12/7, a tourney at UAB 12/17 and 12/18, and your chance to boo and hiss at Baylor (if such is your inclination) on 12/22 when they visit Carnesecca.
St. John's BEast home slate seems to be the middle to bottom of the conference: South Florida, West Virginia, Pitt, Marquette, Villanova, Louisville, Seton Hall, and Notre Dame... which means Rutgers and Connecticut on the road, and I could have bleeping sworn we played UConn on the road last year. They've switched off the home-and-home from Marquette to Seton Hall (and then put both of them on weekdays, way to discourage travel, youse morons).
I like RU's schedule better. Much more interesting weekend games. Oh, what to wear on 1/5, Red or Scarlet?

No fair - I want my schedule too . I think Marquette is trying to see if they can be the last BE school to announce their schedule. I haven't seen a schedule for MU, Providence, Seton Hall, Syracuse (website looks like they've announced theirs but it only has Nov games listed), Notre Dame and Villanova.
Bumming me out all the more is the fact that the BE announced the composite men's schedule today.
I'm guessing the Marquette-Rutgers game will be on TV with the 9p eastern/8p central start time - Marquette's home games usually start at 7p central and the only time they've had an 8p central start time is for TV. I know last year's game vs. Notre Dame on a Tuesday was at 8p on CSTV.

Yikes! That sounds like some type of schedule. And facing Rutgers and Uconn that early. I hope Vanderveer and Wiggins are ready.

and Cal loses one to academics...

Lenita Sanford, who was to be the top incoming freshman on the Cal women's basketball team, will not play for the Bears.
The athletic department confirmed Monday that Sanford, a 6-foot-1 forward, did not meet NCAA initial requirements. She has enrolled at Trinity Valley Community College in Texas.
In November, Sanford signed a letter of intent to attend Cal on scholarship and was admitted to the university, contingent on meeting NCAA academic requirements for incoming student athletes. She attended summer classes in Berkeley in an effort to do that.
Sanford is now required to attend a community college for two years and earn her associates degree before attending an NCAA Division I school. Sanford, who has been relieved of her Cal scholarship, is not obligated to return to Berkeley. |

That's really unfortunate. But good luck to Lenita. I hope she does well at the JC level and reconsiders Cal once she's done.

11/17/07 vs. UC Santa Barbara Tempe, Ariz. 4:00 p.m. MT

Not bad, some pretty decent matches. I don't know why CTT insists on scheduling UNC. I guess it's a measuring stick for her program.

Me too! They also have an exhibition game against the US national team. With this schedule, they could end up with several early losses yet still be a very, very good team. But of course I'd rather see some stunning early wins!

Agreed. But after seeing Rutgers season with all their losses, maybe a lot of tough challenges early is better because the team is toughened up and they're ready for all the big games come tourney time. Stanford definitely needs to step it up after their second-round loss this past tourney.

After how poorly they performed against Rutgers, ASU needs to be able to prepare itself against teams with a lot of speed/athleticism on defense. UNC probably won't be as strong as it's been the past three seasons, but the game will still be a good test for ASU.

That's the theory, anyway; I really hope it works for us. There's really not a downside to a tough early OOC schedule come March -- both in terms of tournament readiness, and because even if you lose them it helps your RPI.
I just hope we do well enough that the tough early games inspire confidence in our younger players. Especially Tennessee -- there have been so many heartbreaking losses in that series the last few years that I feel like we would really be helped by the emotional impact of getting that monkey off our backs. Of course I guess there are a whole lot of teams that can say that exact thing about Tennessee . . . .
Should be some enjoyable games, no matter what the outcome!

Trax10usa and bballfan2005: Are you kidding? for a team (Florida) that won just 9 games last year but still schedules "21 games versus teams that competed in the postseason last year, including 16 against 2007 NCAA Tournament teams" ... name 5 other schools that play as many games this season vs. 16 NCAA Tournament teams.
From what I can see, there are a ton of 'dangerous' teams ... mid-majors who will circle this game on their schedule b/c it's an SEC team.
Looking at their 2006-07 schedule, it looks like most of the games are probably 'return' games...
It's no wonder that last staff was fired... they had no idea how to schedule w/ the talent they signed!
