This 12 months, the definition of “The Huge East males’s basketball schedule is launch sooner or later after Labor Day” is actually one week after Labor Day, because the convention introduced the league slate for all 11 males’s basketball groups on Monday morning.
It’s, for now, simply the schedule of video games, solely the dates the contests might be performed. The TV assignments and begin occasions might be introduced later, and truthfully? That provides us an opportunity to publish a SECOND BLOG in regards to the schedule, and that is wonderful by me. It additionally means we do not need begin occasions or tv assignments for any of Marquette’s non-conference video games. We have already written about that schedule over right here.

Is there something attention-grabbing in regards to the schedule within the official Huge East press launch? Nope, it is simply noting the dates the place there is a most of 5 video games scheduled and issues like that. Something helpful within the Marquette press launch? Nope, aside from a notice that Nationwide Marquette Day remains to be up within the air formally. With that in thoughts, let’s drop within the desk model of the schedule after which level out issues of curiosity…

Issues that stood out to me:
As for the Nationwide Marquette Day factor, the rule of thumb is “final weekend house sport that is not Senior Day.” Senior Day might be Friday, February 26, towards Villanova, so we do not have to fret about that. The final weekend house sport is Saturday, February twentieth towards UConn. That is your more than likely candidate, however remember the fact that 1) we want the TV schedule to work with us and a pair of) Marquette goes to do a full fledged 1977 Nationwide Championship Anniversary Day someplace in right here. If for some motive, the UConn sport lands on Peacock, then that is not going to be Nationwide Marquette Day as a result of making individuals manage watch events throughout the nation with the added degree of “who’s bought a Peacock login” isn’t going to chop it. Keep watch over February sixth towards Georgetown and January thirtieth towards Butler, simply in case.
Finals Week for Fall Semester wraps up on December nineteenth, whereas Spring Semester begins on January nineteenth. It’s not ultimate to have the house Huge East opener on the day that the scholars should be out of the residence halls by midday, however that is what we have. At the very least the upperclassmen do not should be wherever, I assume? The one house sport that is utterly contained inside Winter Break is the Windfall sport. The DePaul sport on January sixteenth is riiiiiight on the sting, the Saturday earlier than courses begin, and we’ll see — as soon as we get a TV schedule! — if Athletics can persuade Res Life to have the halls open for the scholars to return on the sixteenth.
To place that half one other method: Marquette will play 4 of their first six Huge East video games on the highway. By pure math, which means 8 house video games and 6 highway video games the remainder of the way in which, and extra particularly, six of the ultimate 10 are at house.
The schedule is video games in bunches, by the way in which. Each single highway sport in league play is a part of two straight highway video games. Because of that mixture, solely these first two house video games should not part of video games at Fiserv in a row, and as soon as we hit January 30, Marquette has two units of three straight house video games. The primary one is three video games in eight days, and the opposite is three video games in seven days. Wild!
The gaps within the schedule give you seven days off for Christmas and 6 days off in February. Aside from that, Marquette is taking part in just about each three or 4 days.
Marquette will play each video games towards Xavier and Creighton earlier than they play Seton Corridor or St. John’s for the primary time this season. They get Butler each occasions earlier than they get the Johnnies for the primary time. Does this imply something particularly? Most likely not.
Marquette is visiting Creighton for New 12 months’s Eve. They went to Windfall in 2024, Villanova in 2022, hosted Creighton on New 12 months’s Day in 2021, went to Creighton on NYD in 2019, St. John’s on NYD in 2018, Seton Corridor on NYD in 2016, DePaul for NYE in 2014, and Creighton in 2013. 4 Creighton video games out of 9 across the first of the 12 months in 14 seasons is bizarre, proper?
Okay, I am clearly out of attention-grabbing issues to speak about right here. Something bounce out at you that I did not get to? Let me know within the feedback!
