Future Schedules

[wildjays]

Wouldn't think they would have 2 teams from the AAC.

These tournaments are usually agreed to years prior. Wichita and Memphis were likely in different conferences when they agreed to join

This is correct. And yes Memphis is still in Battle 4 Atlantis. Marshall is in a round robin MTE with Virginia Tech, Coppin St. and Tennessee Tech.

If we get a Gavitt game I’m looking for another cupcake. If not there are two holes to fill and I think you’ll get a La Tech (last year version) type team and a cupcake. We’re going to get another cupcake, deal with it.

Jays don’t need to schedule up beyond the three football schools, two on the road, and three tough neutral games. That’s enough with a tough Big East. Jays need some breather games where the bench can get cleared and Z and company only have to play 20 minutes.

If there is a Gavitt game then the schedule is full. With UConn joining, lost 2 non-conference games.

I'm guessing my math is wrong or there's a game I'm missing. Right now, if we get a Gavitt game won't we be at 10? I'm guessing they'll do 31 games right? Maybe there's a locked in Battle 4 Atlantis mainland game in the contract, too?

I apologize I was wrong. I was counting games wrong and interpreted the changes to scheduling wrong.

Even if the Jays are in the Gavitt games there is still 1 non-conference game that can fit into the schedule.

Schools under the new rules can schedule 28 games + MTE with 3 games or 29 games + MTE with 2 games.

Creighton with Gavitt Games is at 27 (20 Big East games) + Battle for Atlantis (3 games). That means one more non-conference game is a possibility

The tricky part is that if the MTE contracts were signed before June 26, 2019 and all the teams were signed to the MTE, Battle 4 Atlantis could have a "mainland" game yet as the 4th game of that MTE and then the schedule would be full with 31 total games. If there isnt a mainland game, then technically Creighton could have 1 more non-conference game to add outside of Battle 4 Atlantis.

Confusing, yes. But you get the gist

Kansas vs Creighton. December 3rd (Thursday)

Wonder if this is one we sit out of?

Looks like @BIGEASTMBB will be participating in the PAC-12 Coast-to-Coast Challenge in 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons. Eight teams from Big East will play PAC-12 teams in Vegas in 2021 and then same teams would play in NY in 2022.

Edit - looks like 4 games including a women’s game.

Looking at the newsletter if it follows this year's format it appears to include 3 MBB and 1 WBB game. So maybe only 3 Big East men's teams the first two years and then 3 additional in the final 2 years based on the 5 year rotation and 4 years of Big East involvement. So 6-8 of the MBB teams involved over the duration.

Pretty crazy that a home game with us is being ranked tougher than a neutral court game with Kentucky for Kansas' non-conference schedule. I'll gladly take the recognition of being KU's toughest non-con opponent and a W at Allen Fieldhouse to go with it

Any word on when Gavitt Games announcement will be? Was end of May last year, but obviously they may be holding off with Covid.

Dec 12, 2020 - Creighton at Nebraska
Dec 11, 2021 - Nebraska at Creighton

Both Saturdays. I'm glad both schools have agreed that this game should be on a Saturday rather than Sunday or a random weeknight.
