...with a Monday game against Maryland, would think if so, it would be Thursday or Friday.

...and with Illinois on the Sunday after Maryland, a Wednesday or Thursday game would make sense

Anything floating out there ?

3 OOC games will come back to bite us. NEED to get another game, even a cupcake. No random PA school has an opening? Lehigh Lafayette Colgate St Francis Oh Holy Sister of the Pine Mountains ANYBODY

On the Pikiell pod cast last week he mentioned 25 Games in passing conversation to a question about scheduling. This makes me think he knows only SHU will be added later on in Jan/Feb when their schedule allows. I think RU and NJ bureaucracy and Covid protocol testing stands in the way of adding last minute games.

Very frustrating watching Illinois play Baylor and now Duke this week and Iowa playing UNC this week, Indiana playing Texas, Stanford, and Florida State, Michigan State playing Notre Dame, Duke, and Virginia, and our best OOC game will be Syracuse. We are scheduling like a bottom-tier team. Wish we would act like we belong.

Good point. Pike did mention 25 games several times and made it seem that Big 10 testing protocols along with Rutgers reluctance to travel on planes has been an issue in scheduling . Pike also said he has arrangements with other schools to play should games be cancelled.

Hofstra replaced Rider in the MTE RAC event, and Wagner was to be played this past week but that deal fell thru. There were reports of Mohegan Sun and Oregon but that fell thru, and an attempt at getting back in Jimmy V vs Gonzaga but we were too late. The lack of non conference opponents will not be a strike against as much as the lack of quality opponents when it comes to seeding if we are to make the tournament. Part of me believes once Geo went Down the staff was reluctant to schedule another game, especially against a power 5 team.

There are 357 D-1 teams, the Ivy League, Bethune Cookman and Md-Eastern Shore all opted out. 347. About 50 haven't played a game yet, about 25 have played 1 game almost two weeks into the season. Just be glad, we have 3 in the bank and one tomorrow, and no major outbreaks happen on any B1G team during the 20 game schedule. Hopefully, we can get 24 games in this year and stop worrying about that magic 27 number. There are going to be a ton of teams that will lucky to get 20 games in, let alone 27 this year.

Agree with above. While I do hope we add another game or two I don't think it is the end of the world if we don't. Our schedule will be plenty strong on an average opponent basis if not a number of games basis, and it would be a terrible look to penalize teams heavily for number of games this year.

Does that scheduling gap exist because of finals?

St John’s has availability Wed-Sat. We owe them a beatdown.

St. John's now playing Seton Hall on Friday. Big East moving things around with Depaul (SHU's originally-scheduled opponent) and UConn (St. John's opponent) on COVID pause.

Reading comprehension is not your strong suit. We have 4 OCC games not three as I responded.

We need more whether we have three or four. On the other hand we do have the 4th toughest schedule going forward. Cupcakes are fine.

Bet NJIT or Monmouth would bus it to the RAC. Both need games coming off their COVID Breaks to start the year

For the record I was saying 3 would not be enough assume the Cuse game was cancelled, as it was right after they announced the outbreak within their team and people were saying this game was in jeopardy

seeing a lot of schools with pauses and cancelled games makes me think we should stand pat for now until Maryland and then add a game somewhere later in the year against a quality opponent.

I think we need 1-3 OOC opponents that we know we can beat and work on things like they did against our first 3 opponents, nothing left to prove against other conferences. B1G proved its dominance as the #1 conference. Nothing will change it tomorrow.

Seriously why help other P6 conferences when we know the 20 game B1G schedule is the toughest in the country.

St. John's is now going to play Seton Hall on Friday as Depaul cannot play because of covid.

Let's scout Maryland vs Clemson tomorrow night and go to Maryland Monday night. There is zero chance we schedule a game between today and Monday.
