2017 Gavitt Games

[RU fanatic]

some of the matchups are starting to roll out. Believe us or Iowa will be left out due to participating twice and Michigan State hasn't participated at all yet. These are the matchups

Wisconsin-Xavier
Illinois-DePaul
Maryland-Butler
SHU-Indiana
SJU-Nebraska
Northwestern-Creighton
Marquette-Purdue
Providence-Minny

Participating twice doesn't mean a program won't participate next season.

Maryland has participated twice.

Villanova and Georgetown are the only two remaining big east teams, no way they'd match us with Villanova, Georgetown would be a nice game for us, but I think RU gets left our this year

Carino confirmed RU is out in 2017 but will host a game in 2018

We beat DePaul easily and they lost to Villanova on the road by one point. Just sayin'

Yeah, Nebraska was suppose to host this year and they are going to SJU.....

I said several months ago we would probably not be in this coming season as we have played at St. John's in 2015 & at Depaul in 2016. There are only 8 games and only 8 of the 14 BIG teams participate each season. We got shafted last year by having to go on the road 2 straight seasons. We better be home next season.

As to the BIG-ACC Challenge we should be home this coming season as we were away at Clemson in 2014, home with Wake Forest in 2015 and at Miami in 2016. Hopefully we will get Boston College at home.

Maryland has participated twice.

Just was an assumption based on an sb nation article I read

You would think that since we were in the BIG East, gavitt's actual league, we would be in these games every season. I guess that would be too much common sense.

You would think that since we were stinking up the BIG East, gavitt's actual league, we would never be in these games. I guess that would be too much common sense.

FTFY

Kudos, you were on the money it appears!

I believe the Gavitt Games have only 8 matchups so the OP's games posted are probably it for 2017.

We play SHU already and an ACC team that's enough
