2016-17 non-conference schedules

[JohnW22]

No Xavier fans have bad mouthed the league and they shouldn't. All Xavier fans are greatful to be in the league and couldn't be happier.

Evidently being selected for another Gavitt Game (GG) was Not all that pleasant a surprise for the Creighton staff. They had been diligently working on upgrading the non-conf schedule when the GG was announced. Getting a GG supposedly threw a monkey wrench into the negotiations for as many as 3 other games (date conflicts, moving games, re-scheduling, etc.), including a major H&H which we had been teased with prior to the announcement. So thanks to getting the Wiscy game, 3 other games have been uprooted and possibly put in doubt. Oh well...the staff makes big bucks, let 'em earn it.

St. John's will travel upstate to play Cuse Dec 21st. Jon Rothstein is reporting it's part of a multi-year series.

interesting Hoyas play @ Cuse December 17th. 2 big games for them both over their christmas break. Obviously there are a lot of people in the area but still.

Just wanted to post and say you two made me laugh on this gloomy Friday Morning. Needed it after realizing that the upcoming election will mostly likely be Hilary vs Trump. Oy!

How about some of you X fans not bad mouth the league YOU JUST ENTERED because one little thing didn't go your way? We've been here 30+ years. We've earned our spot. Now be quiet and earn yours too.

1. No one is bad mouthing the league. I think X fans unanimously love being in the Big East. We just wanted to complain for I think, very obvious, understandable reasons, over something fairly trivial but you were hell bent on not allowing any sort of commiseration it and taking personal shots at Xavier fans for reasons I can't understand.

2. I think Xavier has earned our spot. Don't think that's much of an argument.

3. You sound bitter as hell

He's bitter and he seems to have a hard on for Xavier.

In the meantime, he should shut up until the Johnnies make consistent contributions to the conference.

I could care less about X. Even at our worst we hung right there with your best. You better hope we don't get better. BTW our contribution to the conference is bringing it into existence along with PC and Gtown. Love how X fans are so butthurt when people call them out on their BS complaining. College basketball didn't start 16 years ago guys.
