Nothing significant. Coach P said it's still a work in progress but they are in the final stages. Did confirm home games with George Mason and LaSalle.

Apparently this years game is set for Friday, Nov. 23rd.
It would be nice if it's on BTN, but given that the game at Minny wasn't, I won't hold my breath.

It looks like this year's schedule could be potentially the most interesting schedule since the Flannery era. Penn State, George Mason, Missouri, etc. I would like to see a couple of decent Ivies added to round out the schedule.

I wonder how many PL schools will have Boston U on their schedule this coming season. I would guess around 1/2.

raises an interesting quandry. take Bucknell as an example. what if we agreed to extend the series we had with them providing us a home game this year and BostonU one the following year. in that case, they lose out unless we played them three times with on noncon came at Boston. certainly not likely. who would want to agree to a one game series as the away team? maybe no one plays them this year unless a contract already exists.

What a great day to avoid shopping and go to a hoops game.

have not yet received the usual request to commit to renewing season tix. iirc, they usually sent that out in late June. wonder if this indicates we are having difficulty filling out home schedule, and hence lack sufficient info to price the package. any thoughts or has anyone received info on ticket renewals?

137, if you have some time, can you put together what we know about the Bison 2012~2013 schedule? That would be appreciated. Thank you.

Here's a combination of what we know plus some rumors/guesses:
Nov 9 or 11: 2K Classic Opener: at Purdue, Alabama, Villanova, OR Oregon State
November 16-18 (probably): 2K Classic Sub-regional - 3 games, possibly at Niagara or maybe Hofstra.
November 23: at Penn State
Other road games: at Missouri, at Princeton, at St. Francis (PA), at Cornell, at Richmond (?), at Loyola (MD).
Home Games: Kent State, LaSalle, George Mason, Marist, Dartmouth.
The above shows 16 games, which is the total allowable number of ooc games, given that the four games in the 2K Classic effectively count as two games.
Note: Not 100% sure about Richmond, but BU still owes them a game if it was a 3-for-2 series ( as the LaSalle series was). Also not positive about Marist but that is likely since BU played them in 2012 but not in 2011. Additionally at one time there was a rumor about Harvard, but that game could only take place if one of the above games is not correct.

That looks like an exciting schedule. I hope that they open with Nova, but I would be happy with any of the teams in the 2K Classic Opener.
BTW, why Niagara or Hofstra for the Sub-regional 2K Classic?

I find the PL schedule very amusing. For years the PL did not revise the schedule. We opened with Navy, then American followed by HC etc. Then last year they finally changed things up by simply reversing the schedule. Now here is the reversed schedule again. One thing is certain, they don't spend a lot of time thinking about the hoops schedule at the PL offices.

BTW, why Niagara or Hofstra for the Sub-regional 2K Classic?
Someone on Niagara's board said they were hosting a sub-regional. I don't know if that is accurate but I have no reason to think it isn't.
As for Hofstra, that is just a guess on my part. My rationale is that (a) the sub-regionals hosts normally are teams that were in a Gazelle Group event the previous year; (b) Hofstra was in the Legends Classic - a Gazelle Group event - last year; and (c) they are confirmed as being in the 2K Classic this year and are likely one of the bigger names.
Looking back at the past Gazelle Group events, the following teams played last year and have never hosted, thus making them possible hosts for this year:
- Hofstra
- Cleveland State
- Princeton
- Morehead State
- Eastern Kentucky
- Austin Peay
- Bowling Green
- South Dakota State
- Sam Houston
-----
- Akron - hosted one subregional game last year; don't know if that disqualifies them from hosting this year.
- Boston U - already has another game scheduled for probable dates of 2K subregional.
- George Washington - not in any tournament this year
- Duquesne - hosting Legends Classic game this year
- Lehigh - in preseason NIT this year
Of the teams listed above who are available to host, Hofstra and Princeton seem like the most likely. However, BU could not be in a Princeton pod UNLESS the report about a two-year home-and-home with Princeton is inaccurate.

I'd selfishly vote for Oregon State as the opener for the Bison 2K game. My sister lives in Corvalis and works for OSU. Also, Regardless the outcome of the election, The Beavers would still be coached by the First Brother-in-Law, Craig Robinson.
So it would finally put me over the edge to go to Oregon to see my sister.
Although it is a Home Rutgers Football weekend (my other fan passion) and would have to give up one of only 6 Home games this year for the Scarlet Knights.

Following up on the above, I see that Princeton is scheduled to play Rutgers on Friday 11/16 and thus presumably unavailable to host a 2K Classic sub-regional.
Also I see I did not originally put Niagara on the list. They are "confirmed" as one of the two sub-regional hosts. Of the available teams, my strong preference is still Hofstra.

I alway like it when the Bison play Princeton or Penn. It is unfortunate that Princeton cannot host the sub-regional.
