    Big East - Big 12 Challenge

    Per Jon Rothstein - Source: The Big East and Big 12 have officially agreed to an annual "challenge" between the two conferences, starting during the 19-20 season. Official announcement expected soon.

    I like it. There are 4 Big XII schools within about a 2.5 hour drive from me.

    Hopefully this works out better than the Gavitt Games in terms of teams coming to Cintas.

    Which means we'll be playing West Virginia every year.

    You mean you don't want another home and home with Baylor?

    My biggest question is what took them so long?

    My second question is does this really provide a guaranteed quadrant 1 game?

    Will we get hosed like the Gavitt games ? My question is why do get the shitty matchups, except for Michigan ? It's not like we're the
    chopped liver of the Big East. I can see us with 2 farm aid games at KState and Iowa State, while Butler gets Kansas.

    We played at Michigan who was ranked in the top 25 when we played them and this year we play the 2nd or 3rd best big ten team participating in the Gavitt Games. I get complaining from a redundancy standpoint, but I don't get the complaint from a match up standpoint. It's a tournament team coming into Cintas.

    A road game against a Big 12 team is almost a lock to be a Quadrant 1 game unless the team is rated above 75 in the RPI/NET/whatever statistic will be used going forward.
