I was looking at our basketball schedule...

[dawgstudent]

we only have back to back SEC home games once and it's actually 3 straight at home.

Other Schools:
Ole Miss - 3 times
LSU - 2 times
Alabama - 3 times
Tennessee - 3 times
Florida - 3 times

What ticks me off about ours is the Tues/Thurs games. I get that because of TV there are more of them this year, but all of ours on the road. We have 3 Tues and 2 Thurs games. ALL ON THE ROAD.

@Kentucky
@Georgia
@Florida
@MSU
@Alabama

Plus we also have 3 back-to-back road games.

I wanted to compare, so I looked at y'all's and Kentucky's.

Y'all only had 4 Tues/Thurs games. Two were away.

Kentucky had 8 Tues/Thurs games (wowzers). 4 are away.

Tuesday games aren't a problem unless you have a game the Sunday before or the Thursday after.

There aren't any Sunday games or Tues to Thurs games in the SEC.

However, Tues games, while not as big of a deal as Thurs games, are still more difficult because they throw off the rhythm of the week.

With Wed to Sat being the regular schedule, anything irregular is a slight issue.

The Wed-Sat "regular" schedule died a few years ago. Having the midweek game on Tue or Thur is as common as having it on Wed.

Well you know who is in charge of SEC scheduling.....

Lonnie Tinkle. Or at least he was...

No the past few years each team has had one Tues game and one Thurs game. The regularity of Wed-Sat was killed this year, but it's still the default schedule.
