That's something, if it happens, to keep us occupied this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others? 76Classic in Anahiem which will give us 3 games there (and a cupcake at home?)...the teams so far listed are BC, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Santa Clara, Washington St, UC Riverside, and Villanova.

If so, what games do we know about... Washington is here We are at NM Portland comes here (?) We go to Chicago St. (?) Others? Yes absolutely, change it. Time to look to the future. I don't want to look at last year's results again. I think the Bills will play at SIU and the nonconference opponents are known, even though we don't know the dates. Home/homes with Dayton and Xavier again. Somebody earlier said that the Bills will open at home against Tenn St. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dneuner Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I believe we start the SIU series back up. True, and it's at Chaifetz this year, if I'm not mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshoe Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 True, and it's at Chaifetz this year, if I'm not mistaken.I am virtually certain siu starts on the road this year. Majerus mentioned at the golf tourney that we were playing furman at home during finals week. I would not consider that game a certainty...

kshoe Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 76Classic in Anahiem which will give us 3 games there (and a cupcake at home?)...the teams so far listed are BC, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Santa Clara, Washington St, UC Riverside, and Villanova.I don't think there is a buy game associated with the 76classic. It might mean we only have a 29 game regular season, not sure though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality Is Job 1 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Pre-season trip to Australia is off. They will be going to Canada around the 3rd week of August instead.Thanks for the update. Isn't that before the semester starts? They can't take the trips when classes are in session. If it's before the semester starts, doesn't that mean that John Manning can't participate, even if he has been in summer classes? Or is it a Labor Day weekend trip and the two weeks of practice will start around the third week of August? If the latter is the case, then Manning will be able to participate.

For-DaLove Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 -I think the rules were changed and JM will be able to go -I am glad there is a trip Correct. Rules changed about 3 (?) years ago. As long as Manning takes a summer class he'll be allowed to go. Absurd- It's before the semester starts. Classes start pretty late next fall.

majerus mojo Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Per @studurando, the Washington game will be November 20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshoe Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Looks like Timmerman is getting in on the fun. Nothing we didn't know already but certainly enough to replace that crappy ass record on the front with something more appealing. http://www.stltoday.com/sports/college/slu/article_0e8416fc-8647-11e0-aecc-001a4bcf6878.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this holds, our 2012 slate will be very good. bad boyz for life To summarize the non-con schedule as we best know it: 1) Washington - Nov 20 (certain) 2) @ 76 Classic (certain) 3) @ 76 Classic (certain) 4) @ 76 Classic (certain) 5) @ Loyola Maramount (certain) 6) @ SIU (certain) 7) Portland (certain) 8) @ New Mexico (probably) 9) @ Chicago St. (maybe, I say maybe only because Timmerman didn't mention it) 10) @ Big East buy game (maybe) 11) Buy game (maybe Furman) 12) Buy game 13) Buy game I'm not sure if we'll get to play 13 or 14 non-con games. It was my understanding that if you wanted to play 14 you needed to play in a 4 game tourney and we are only playing in a 3 game tourney, but I can't be certain. If this holds, we are talking about only 5 home non-con games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
