    I don't understand not wanting to play Dayton. It was a GREAT rivalry.

    We all hate UC. Would it still be fun to hate them if we didn't play them?

    There's no fun in enjoying their misery if we're completely out of the loop.

    Play the game.

    Looks like we were unsuccessful getting a high major home/home starting at Cintas unless this was the plan all along.
    I guess it's a positive from a resume building standpoint that we have 6 high level games and only one at home.
    I'm good with all those buy games this season. We have a lot of new pieces and a new coaching staff. The 3 Maui games plus Wisconsin, Missouri, Cincinnati will provide plenty of OOC sos.

    So X opens with IUPUI? I wonder if former UD recruit Stephen Thomas is still on that team? (Some of the long timers on this board may get this joke).

    Not terrible, a stacked Maui field will be the brutal part of the non-conference, decent resume builder, and enough to keep us tested going into Big East play. I like it.

    The exhibition game is still TBD.

    Didnt see this before my post, funny we used same adjective but that field really is stacked. Kinda bummed we are playing in a tourney that good in a year with so many new faces and unknowns.
