I think a decent interval has passed, so time to talk about next year.
I'm focused on OOC, although one interesting question to me is how the conference schedule will change and, in particular, what teams will be home and home (besides Maryland, which I figure is locked, although maybe I'm wrong) and which ones will not.
Based on the schedule last year and the year before, I think these are potential games:
v. Arkansas
@ Tennessee
@ St. Joseph's
v. Temple
v. Iona
@ Syracuse or Duke (ACC-B1G Challenge)
Except for Syracuse/Duke, all of the listed teams were on the schedule this year but not the year before, so it seems likely that return matches are in order. Northeastern, Wagner and Davidson were the second games in a two-year span, and there's no particular reason to maintain the series with any of them. I left Colgate off the list because I kind of think it was a one-off, but I have no actual knowledge of that.
Does anyone have any scoop on other games, or ideas about what games would be fun? (Maybe not Seton Hall after playing them twice in 2 years, but I'd like to renew the Princeton series.)
