2017-18 Schedule Thread

[Washingtonian]

No idea with Auburn, but also sometimes date and times have to be finalized based on TV availability as well. Probably more times than dates, but regardless the point remains.

I have a feeling Auburn will end up on the SEC network.

Sometimes it's the other school who announces it first, as was the case with Auburn.

Just getting ready for the JMU discussion thread

The hotdog game is precisely why we need to keep this series going no matter what.

 

[GMUSig03]

JMU press release from Mason says team will play 7 games in November, currently 6 are listed. So if another is listed we will know the answer to the Louisville debate.

 

[MasonFanatic]

It appears that we will NOT have a game on Thanksgiving weekend this year.

 

[GMUgemini]

If the Louisville game is legit, it's not a horrible non-conference slate.

By the way, I see vcu transfer Samir Doughty just committed to Auburn.

Can only imagine this will be the "kids take over EBA" game this year. probably gonna be a 12 noon start time, Friday before Christmas. just like the last few years.

I never understood that as a game anyway. People are usually stuck in traffic or too busy entertaining guests, plus the opponents were usually meh. And no students.

Here's Louisville's Schedule so far... based on the rumors, the game could still happen. We host Lafayette on Nov 10 and then play in Cancun on Nov 16. So Imagine there could be a game between Nov 12-14. I know someone mentioned Nov 13... so its possible.

On another note... good for Louisville for traveling for a lot of their non-conference games... sike.

U OF L'S 2017-18 NON-CONFERENCE SCHEDULE
Nov. 17: St. Francis (Pa.)
Nov. 21: Southern Illinois
Nov. 28: at Purdue (ACC-Big Ten Challenge)
Dec. 3: Seton Hall
Dec. 6: Siena
Dec. 9: Indiana
Dec. 11: Bryant
Dec. 16: Memphis (in New York City)

It was JMU last year and even that game didn't draw well:

I hope I am wrong, or this is just a coincidence.

But George Mason Women could potentially play Louisville in the second game of the season.

They both play at the Preseason Women's National Invitation Tournament. I believe If they both win their first game they would play each other.

A chance for us to see former future Mason basketball coach Lavelle Moton and his team in action!

I was looking at their roster, they had 7 seniors, and have a bunch of JuCo's coming in and one transfer from Cal State Northridge that will be eligible. They gave Ohio State fits last season, and nearly won in the 1st round/play in game of the NCAA's.

They ended the season with only a 202 rpi, but from the sounds of it they should be much better next year. So get ready for a good rpi boost. The non conference schedule is looking pretty good. This shows Dave's confidence in the team this year. It shows he is thinking about creating a resume for the tourney!
