When do they announce future Hoops schedules?

[rubaseball78]

So we should schedule glorified scrimmages against teams that don't help our resume at all on the off chance one player might turn their season around against terrible competition at the risk of injuring others (Baker)?

It didn't hurt our resume last year. Games like this give coaches a chance to work on things, experiment during game conditions as they prepare for Big 10 schedule.

I’m adding another confirmed game to the list.

Merrimack
@Seton Hall
@UMass
Gavitt Games vs. Big East
ACC/B1G Challenge
Miami (OH)
Michigan State, January 30, 2021 (MSG)

Certainly helped Young! Confidence and momentum a good thing!

Based on the NET rankings formula, let’s play a few cupcakes on the road.

Hi Hinson To the best of my knowledge. Jimmy V Games have yet to be announced. Not expecting but hoping...:)

Hey Big East Phil. Good call ! As always.

What’s Merrimack?

A Civil War era ship

 

[knights1212]

Merrimack is a Catholic College in Massachusetts that was D-1 last season for the first time and they won 20 games. They are in the same conference as NJIT. They were D-2 for many years.

 

[Fat-Tony]

Merrimack's coach is from Milltown, NJ. He had a very successful season.

Can't wait for hoops season to start back up again!

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Did Baylor have anyone from this past seasons' team go pro?

 

[Gavin1026]

Butler and Teague both declared but can come back

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Butler and Teague both declared but can come back

So they will have their full roster back plus their new additions. ?

If so, they will be unbeatable

 

[Gavin1026]

Forgot Freddie Gillespie also graduated, but yeah they are a guarantee to be top 3 team if Butler/Teague stay and they have no major injuries.

Guessing the lack of institutional control (recruiting violations, sexual assaults) for the Baylor Athletics Department does not affect their ability to participate in these kind of games. And these newer charges were on top of the scandals in the hoops programs a fairly long time ago, but within memory. Baylor Athletics has a tawdry past. Oh well.

There’s a reason they are ranked preseason #1. Pretty sure every preseason number has lost, so not unbeatable. But yeah, playing the #1 team is going to be very difficult.

Again, please don’t forget the murder their basketball program covered up. The worst of all those many transgressions.

 

[JavaDunk18]

Can think of the Baylor game as a rescheduling of the game we would have played against them on March 22 in Omaha..
