These are the confirmed games:

Nov 11 - North Dakota
Nov 21 - Maui
Nov 22 - Maui
Nov 23 - Maui
Dec 1 - at Texas
Dec 4 - Nebraska
Dec 10 - vs BYU in Las Vegas
Dec 12 - vs Arizona State in Las Vegas

So barring some H&H series they're keeping secret, the home non-con schedule is going to be four buy games and Nebraska. That's a schedule you make with March seeding in mind, because it's going to make your season ticket holders grumpy when it's announced (and then they'll forget about it if, partly because of that slate, they're watching the Jays in Des Moines the first weekend of the tourney, and KC the second weekend).

So a home schedule with six buy games against midmajor level competition. One thing's for certain, it better be an undefeated home nonconference or it is a complete and utter disaster!

And I might be the only one -- but I have no interest at all in seeing us play Arizona State again. I'm so tired of Hurley and that team. Yuck.

So the Jays will plug in a game or 2 in that 10-day stretch between No. Dak. & Maui. And probably again in the 7-day
span after Maui?

Another B12/B1G team may be a good option - #22 TT, #15 TCU, Oklahoma? #20 Michigan, #25 Illini, Iowa? Kansas in KCMO?

This game completes the current contract with ASU. I'm with you on not wanting to see them on future schedules. Not sure how much external pressure there is to get a regular Phoenix-area game with the CU med school campus there, but between that and Mac getting some winter golf in before conference play starts, it wouldn't surprise me to see ASU again. Because 'Zona isn't doing a H&H, and the other options are worse.

So ASU may become a staple on the schedule? Perhaps a neutral court game in Phoenix vs the LA teams (USC or UCLA) from time to time?

Every year there’s 3 or 4 neutral site games at the Suns arena. Normally two mid major matchups and two bigger matchups. They’ve had like Gonzaga, Tennessee, Texas A&M, normally U of A frequents them. They call it the Colangelo classic after the suns old owner and the hall of fame runs it. If they wanna do something with the new med school, might as well do it by the arena down the street

Does anyone know if tickets to these games will be available through CU ticket office? Not sure how neutral-site games ticketing has been handled in the past.

It seats 12,000 I doubt tickets will be an issue unlike Maui.
