Must See Non-Conference Games

Postby wildjays » Thu Aug 18, 2016 9:09 am

Over on White & Blue Review, we compiled the top 8 must see non-conference games for this season.

Do you agree with these or did we miss one? I purposely avoided the exempt tourneys so didn't look at the "potential" games in those.

This is a good list. Add in all the "potential" matchups and this OOC will be a lot of fun.

I would say Georgetown @ Syracuse would be bigger than UConn @ Georgetown....

in terms of important games- I know you say no exempt tournaments- but I would say the known one of Seton Hall/Florida is gigantic. win and Seton Hall gets 2 more good games. loss- and Seton Hall's exempt tournament isn't good. That game is FAR more important than the one vs Cal quite frankly.

Also, I would suggest for your site- for the Saturday home games to put for TV as Fox/FS1/CBS. Because CBS will get some of those home games.

Xavier @ Colorado should be a good one.

St. John's vs Cuse in the Carrier Dome. The Johnnies trying to make it 3 in a row since the Orange left the Big East for the ACC.

on your TV schedule- I would definitely put the UConn/Georgetown and Virginia/Villanova as Fox/FS1/CBS instead of just Fox/FS1. Odds are extremely good that at least 1 of those 2 will be on CBS. Would be much more of a shocker for both to be on Fox or FS1 than for both to be on CBS.

Yeah I am sort of guessing on those right now. It all depends on how the TV rights are set up. I actually would be surprised if either of these are on CBS because I could see them looking at some other conference games for those same days from the SEC or Big 10. In the past it seems the Big East games that were on CBS were in-conference games.
