if we lose 2 games, can we still hang the banner?

Or, rather than being like 99.999% of the sheep, he's being unique and predicting 2 games get cancelled. Correct. If it snows during the season as much as it has rained in the last month, we are doomed! :-)

Rothstein tweeted today that the Temple game at the Palestra will be Saturday, December 6th. Obviously going to be a tough act to follow from last year, but glad its definitely on a Saturday. I'd imagine its on some kind of TV, my guess would be NBCSN or ESPN2.

He had tweeted earlier this month that the Temple game at the Palestra will be that Saturday, 12/6. So we'll have a Big (5) week right there in the early going.

How I see the schedule going – 13 Games TOTAL
11/1 or 11/2 EXHIBITION GAME 11/8 -11/20 Colgate–Homecoming Miami* Palestra 11/22-11/26 St Peters - Barclays Classic St Francis - Barclays Classic 11/28 Rutgers* 11/29 Virginia/Vandy* 12/3 Villanova 12/6 Temple* Palestra
FINAL EXAM BREAK 12/8-12/12
12/13-12/18 2 GAMES @drexel FREE SLOT 12/20 @towson 12/23 @hofstra
HOLIDAY BREAK
12/27 –1/XX Penn
A10 play starts sometime around January 1 due to 18 game schedule.
We seem to have 10 confirmed opponents meaning 3 we still don’t know about 2 of which are the games before the Barclays. My concern is the Miami game. The last thing I think anyone wants is that game during break. With the exception of Penn games I don’t remember the last time we played a game at the Palestra when students weren’t on campus. I know we played both the Penn State game and OKState game at the Palestra during session. All in all looks like a very promising schedule to me.

Don't think you'll have any concerns about Miami game this year. Why do you think we will open with Rutgers in the Barclay's Classic? The marquee teams are Virginia and Vanderbilt. Promoters want them to meet in the championship game. My feeling is it will be La Salle vs. Virginia and Vanderbilt vs. Rutgers in the first doubleheader. BTW, the first two games at Gola for the Barclay's Classic are St. Peter's and Sr. Francis (NY). Colgate is the homecoming game.

I could see how that be the marque matchup even though Vandy isn't very good. Just looking at last years they had the two southern schools and two northern schools play one another. However, Ole Miss and St Johns probably was the marque matchup. As long as we get to play Virginia thats all I care about.
St Francis should be the favorite in the Northeast next year. Lost only 1 player. St Peters also should be decent as well, they were pretty young last year and still have their best player Dominique.

Regarding the Hurricanes, I heard our return game may be in the works for late 2015, rather than 2014 as previously planned. My source is unconfirmed.

Takes a major hit without that game. Beyond irritated. A series that was planned to return to the palestra for two plus years can't be figured out. Makes complete sense. Better yet its going to be in late 2015 meaning students won't be on campus. Nice one G, quality work. Can't wait to replace it with some "tough" mid major.

Disappointed given that 2014-15 will likely be a much stronger roster than 2015-16.

I'm glad the kids will be in school for both Temple and Villanova. Seems like 'Nova always fell on vacation days.
I see 9 wins there.

Looks like there's a chance the Explorers will be part of the ESPN 24 Hours of Hoops Marathon again with a rematch against Quinnipiac on November 18th.

Yea the 18th is definitely the date of the marathon since the champions classic is that night. It would be cool to be a part of it again, but why would ESPN want us this year?

Not sure how many checkboxes there are, but "willing to play before noon" and "short east coast commute" are likely among them.

I see 9 wins there. too many new pieces in place for me to have any sort of forecasted win totals this season. Not of headlone-grabbing names on there, but a lto of people thought we had a weak schedule last season as well, which proved to be inaccurate.

My initial reaction was to think this is a weak schedule. But if we win the first three games of the Barclay's Classic, we presumably get to play UVA. As well as Nova, and I assume Temple will be decent. No idea if Towson is strong this year because I don't know who they graduated, but they've definitely been trending up. If we lose any of the early Barclay's games, I don't think we're the kind of team that will get much out of facing Virginia anyway.
