I'm gonna be that guy...

There are a million things I would watch before that Holiday Festival at MSG. Those are painfully boring match-ups.

Yeah but regional match ups that will fill up MSG. It's also on a sunday during the end of the NFL season. I don't think it's meant to entice a national audience.

Marquette's schedule as of right now:

11/7/16-Rockhurst-Milwaukee-Exhibition
11/11/16-Vanderbilt-Anapolis-Veterans classic
11/14/16-Howard-Milwaukee-2k classic
11/17/16-Michigan-NYC-2k classic
11/18/16-TBA-NYC-2k classic
11/22/16-IUPUI-Milwaukee-2k classic
11/26/16-Houston Baptist-Milwaukee

TBA-Fresno State-Milwaukee
12/10/16-Wisconsin-Milwaukee
12/19/16-St. Francis (PA)-Milwaukee

Not every game has been announced yet, but it looks much better than the last couple of years so far. Should be fewer sub-300 teams.

Definitely better than recent years. Georgia is quietly a good game. They have a decent shot of making the NCAAs next year.

EDIT: You guys will play either Pitt or SMU in the second game of the 2k Classic. Pitt returns a lot and should be solid. Not sure if SMU will be good or not with all of the program turmoil.

College of Charleston added to Nova's schedule, will play at the Pavilion on 11/23. This is the fourth game of the Charleston Classic exempt tourney. So far Nova has the 4 Big 5 games, 4 Charleston games, Notre Dame, Virginia, and Purdue scheduled. 2 more games to be added.

Any reason for the addition?

It's actually not too bad of a "weaker" game. last year they were #120 in Ken Pom- and finished with a RPI of 135.

The other 2 games will likely be buy type of games. Your Delaware/Lafayette type of games.

Virginia home game
Notre Dame in Newark
Purdue away
St Joe's, Temple home
La Salle, Penn away
Charleston now home

Yeah, but I'm not the best person to explain it. Something about an extra game that doesn't count if you play in an exempt tourney if you schedule it right. Xavier has the same thing with UNI and their tourney, you can end up playing the same team twice(maybe) so you can get an extra home game and have 31 regular season games, or something.

Apparently we're looking for a mainland game for the B4A then that would finish us up.

I wonder how many teams are like Marquette, with only one road game.
