2016-17 non-conference schedules

[MUPanther]

Well, the game is on CBS. The other leagues don't want to go head to head with the SEC with primetime slots open.

I know it's on CBS...but the SEC and ESPN are in bed together. Like, the SEC network was created by the SEC and ESPN. The SEC network is run out of offices that ESPN has in Charlotte, NC. Every weekend during the season, CBS picks its game for that weekend, and then ESPN gets their picks, and the rest are shown on the SEC network, basically. So every weekend during football season, there's one SEC game on CBS and the rest on are ESPN run networks.

That would be the reason ESPN doesn't put something opposite the SEC championship game.

Yes, I know all that. Thanks, but CBS has the rights to the #1 game each week and SEC Title Game. Has nothing to do contract wise there is not another game on a different network. If you want to think that, fine. Going back to the main point, college hoops will lose very bad going up versus a so called money 5 league title game. Even more so the case, when it's the liquid ratings gold in the SEC Championship Game. I'm not saying it's a bad thing that X at BU is on espn2, it's just not a good thing on that date/time.

I have two tv's in my mancave, I'll be ready for Xavier at Baylor. It will be a huge game!

Crosstown Shootout is set for January 26th (Thursday), 2017. This will presumably be on "Rivalry Week" and on either ESPN or ESPN2.

Go ahead stever, tell us all how horrible this will be.

I think Rivalry week is normally later in Feb(when Duke/UNC 1st game is on.

It's a good date though regardless. Only negative at all for Xavier is that they would then have a short turn around before BE game that Saturday presumably. And could have a situation where they could have 3 tough games in a span of 5-6 days.

The Dec. 17 matchup between SU and Georgetown will start at 12:00 p.m. It will be televised by ESPN.

I never said there was anything contractual about it. It's common business sense and common knowledge in these parts that ESPN, intentionally, won't compete with the SEC title game. And as you pointed out, anyone that wants to watch both games will find away.

that's a tough schedule. Throw in Pitt and it would look like the old days! Oregon, Cuse, Uconn, Maryland and Miami all will be tough ones. Looks like you could end up with Whisky and UNC if you run the table in Maui as well.
