All I know is that there will be another game in Coral Gables next year, and then the Hurricanes will visit Philly in the fall of 2014. I know we will be at Villanova and at Penn.
Are we also going to Penn State next year to return their game?
Will we definitely play Temple at home? It is our turn to host them. Our other three big five games are tentatively going to be on the road (including St Joe's at the Palestra).
Will we host Siena?
The Paradise Jam (Nov 22-25) will feature La Salle for the fourth time. Other participants are: Loyola Marymount, Maryland, Marist, Morgan State, Northern Iowa N.Illinois, Providence, and Vanderbilt.
Any other known opponents?

That is a very good start Hykos.
This is what I know!

I've been meaning to start this thread since Doc G's last podcast was put up. Usually this time of year we've switched our focus to the next season because the one at hand is all but a formality to finish up. Glad to see we haven't lost sight of our roots.

Any other known opponents? Yes we play at Miami FL next season and they come to Palestra the year after. Penn State is away. Siena is home. I assume you are correct that we play Temple at home and away at Villanova. Penn and SJU are away games but at the Palestra. One correction to Paradise Jam. It is Northern Iowa and not Northern Illinois. Should be an awesome tournament. I also believe that Iona was a one timer. |

This info was confirmed as of a month ago. At that point, there were 4 games left to schedule. Haven't heard anything since but it wouldn't surprise me if they filled a couple of them: Home: Temple, Siena, Hartford Away: Miami, Villanova, Penn State, Penn Neutral: Paradise Jam (3 games) Hartford game is the third game of a two for one deal. Iona and Sacred Heart were one-shot guarantee games I believe the series' with Delaware, Central Connecticut, Rider, Northeastern, and Bucknell ended this season. The Paradise Jam typically seeds based on the previous season's RPI, so if their brackets were announced today, they'd look like this: #1 La Salle vs #8 Morgan State #4 Providence vs #5 Vanderbilt #3 Northern Iowa vs #6 Loyola Marymount #2 Maryland vs #7 Marist That gives the team a very good chance of facing at least 6 BCS schools (2 in the Virgin Islands along with Miami, Villanova, Temple, and Penn State). www.paradisejam.com/mens-tournament-info/ |

Can't tell if our success this year makes us more enticing to larger programs or less because they don't want to potentially lose to us

Villanova is no longer BCS though right? As of right now, that split won't officially happen until the 2014-15 season, so they will still be considered members of a BCS conference until July 1, 2014. That could change but most media members think there are too many negotiations that need to be wrapped up regarding NCAA money, the ownership of the Big East trademark, etc., for it to be done by this July. |

Can't tell if our success this year makes us more enticing to larger programs or less because they don't want to potentially lose to us It will get expensive because they will want to play at the Palestra. But I wont complain! Also most big schools unfortunately will not play us, even with our strong projected RPI next season. Schools like Georgetown game the system by playing no one OOC because they rely on playing their conference schedule to improve RPI. |
