Upon further review of the 2 schedules that have been released (AU & CU), there are games scheduled for Saturday Jan 28 and Saturday Feb 4 with Wednesday Feb 1 open.

The women's schedule, released by HC, shows a game on Tuesday the 27th and I assumed that the men's schedule matched it. The men's & women's schedules do not appear to match exactly.

So the possibility to move games from Sat Feb 18 to Wed Feb 1 does exist in the men's PL schedule.

So now you got my hopes up. I hope you guys are right and BU + at least 1 other PL school is included in the BB!

The 2005-2006 schedule has a placeholder for the Bracket Buster game on the 18th.. I believe the Colgate game has been moved (hopefully, the BU website will update with the schedule soon) -- and a road game at DePaul was also added in December...

From what I understand, the Out of Conference schedule should include:
OOC Road Games: Duke, DePaul, Niagara, Cable Car Tournament
OOC Home Games: Villanova, St. Joe

had not heard about DePaul, that's an interesting addtion.

can add:

@ Rider 11/18 (season opener)
Yale 11/26

even with bracketbuster that leaves 3 unknown games. at least one needs to be a home game. usual suspects Cornell, SFP and Robert Morris are all out there. they were also working on Penn and Princeton long ago, but i am not very optimistic that either of those worked out.

Author: Go Bison! [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 14:07:39 07/18/05 Mon 2 more home games to add to the mix - Cornell (12/7) and D3 Haverford (12/9). Ken - I think you're right that there still is an opening for one other game..

Author: KenZ [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 14:30:37 07/18/05 Mon thanks, but uggh to Haverford. do you know dates for the Nova and St. Joe's games? i originally heard Nova 12/7 and St. Joe's on 12/21, but you have Cornell on the 7th. I later heard Nova on the 15th, but it seems like that would be in the exam period (although it is a Friday).

Author: Go Bison! [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 14:37:19 07/18/05 Mon Sorry for the typos... Here's what I believe is accurate: December 3 - @ DePaul 6 – Villanova 17 – Cornell 19 – Haverford 21 – St. Joseph

thanks again. i am paricularly pleased that the Villanova game is while school is in session (and not during exams). gives the students the chance to see a major college team on campus.

i am a worrier by nature, so let me share my concern. while i like the way the schedule is shaping up for this year, we don't have a team on the schedule that 'owes' us a home game for 2006-07 unless the Rider or Niagara series extends further (both are return games this year).

if we play away in the bracketbuster that would provide one return game next year. assuming it is a struggle to get visitors this year (hence Haverford) next year likely won't be any easier. we were extremely fortunate to have Nova and St. Joes under contract before last year.

Author: Dan [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 17:24:31 07/18/05 Mon I'll defend the Haverford game in that in gives Frosh and the seldom used to get some court time.......further, as a DIII, they don't impact our RPI.

This is a very good schedule - with the exception of Haverford - kudos to Pat for taking on some serious challenges.

By my count you have 11 games listed - room for 1 more if the Bracket Buster come to fruition, 2 more if not.

Just using the 2005 final RPI as a measure, and assuming a win against Boston U in the first game of the Cable Car Classic you have 6 games against top 100 RPI teams and 8 against top 150. And that does not include a possible BB game.

By comparison, the HC Schedule - if they win their first game of the San Juan Shootout and the rest of that tourney holds form - HC will have 8 top 100 games and 9 top 150. A loss in the first round of the SJ Shootout probably drops that to 6 & 7 respectively without a BB game.

Both schedules are a nice step up for the PL Out of Conference schedule. I hope they both make some noise out of conference and the other schools follow suit and strengthen their OOC schedule this year.
