seaofred92 Posted April 6, 2021 Author Share Posted April 6, 2021 I’ll be curious to see what the schedule looks like next season. So far we know: Multi-team event* (Neutral- likely over Thanksgiving weekend) Creighton (Home- date not set but likely will be early December) Kansas State (Home- game is set for Dec 18) ACC/B1G Challenge (Likely Road) Gavitt Games* 10 B1G Home games 10 B1G Road games * - Not 100% for 2021-22 schedule The Gavitt Games are scheduled to take place the next two seasons. Each B1G and Big East team are obligated to play a minimum of four games in the series- NU has played 3 so far, with no Big Ten team having yet played in 4. That means NU will likely participate in either next year’s or the following year’s games. You’re allowed to schedule 28 games with a 3 game MTE draw or 29 with a 2 game MTE draw for a total of 31. I’m guessing NU will want to play as many home games as possible for budgetary reasons and may even opt out of a MTE if it means they can play additional home games. If I had to take a guess- our schedule will look something like the following: Opening game (buy game) Opening game (buy game) MTE- 3 games in a neutral site Buy game Creighton Buy game Kansas State B1G Game B1G Game Buy game OR start a high-major H/H Buy game OR start a high-major H/H Remaining 18 B1G games We played Wichita State in a secret scrimmage a few years ago- wonder if we’d inquire with them about a home and home series. Local opponent great fan base and they should be back in the NCAA Tournament next year too. 1 Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 I can see the reasoning but I find it hard to believe they're going to pass up the paycheck. I'm sure here and there but I'm not sure about wide-spread. Quote Link to comment

I'm sure here and there but I'm not sure about wide-spread. It seems a bit silly. If you have a player that is elite level at a high major, eventually he will be showcased and teams might come a calling. If anything, I think you almost use it as a selling point-- We took a kid few believed in and then everyone came a calling. Quote Link to comment

Maybe a coach from a random team like St Bonaventure or something sent him that and he extrapolated it for clicks but that doesn’t seem like something that’s really going to happen in my opinion Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Word is we are close to finalizing a game vs. Auburn to be played in Atlanta on December 11. That would be close to home for the McGowens. Also, the matchup vs Creighton may be moved up to be included in the Gavitt Games. 1 Quote Link to comment

Two very juicy nuggets although to be honest I’d be kinda annoyed by having the Creighton game be part of the Gavitt series Quote Link to comment
