No Gavitt Game this year

[kcg88]

This always made the most sense to me. Rutgers has played three while many Big Ten teams have only played two (and Michigan State has played zero).

Rutgers, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Nebraska, and Wisconsin have all played 3.

Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Northwestern, Ohio State, and Purdue have all played 2.

Those seven plus Michigan State was the logical arrangement for this year.

Now we need to get another P5 school on our schedule but time is really running out for that.

I have all the confidence in the world it’ll end up being a quad 4 opponent with a 300+ NET.

Play Princeton!!!! Different paced games will help for tourney.

I agree but am sure we are in the minority on playing Princeton.

There is no benefit to playing Princeton.

Mich State @ SH.

That is the rumor but I don't think it is definite yet. SHU should try playing them, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio State, Indiana, Purdue, Nebraska and the other 6 BIG members every year and 7 of them twice every year. That is 20 games every year against perhaps the toughest conference in the country. That is why RU's SOS is one of the highest in the nation. I myself am so glad we are in the BIG.

No loss skipping a game associated with that guy and his extended family of Providence minions. Plenty of other good options outside the CYO league.

Nah. MSU has played in Jersey several times in recent years. Big game for SHU? Sure.

2 preseason top 25 teams. When was the last time MSU payed a top 25 NJ team in NJ?

Not NJ but they played Kentucky at MSG in 2017 and Duke in 2012. Plus this year's Champions Classic is at MSG as well.

Never?

I'm not sure SHU will be a preseason Top 25
Possibly, but not certain
