I think it's lame that the Big ten doesn't prioritize scheduling more conference games on Saturdays. I get that they want the primetime slots during the week for TV deals, but Saturday hoops gets the juices flowing
True, but it looks like a couple of those are during semester break..ie no students.3 home Sat games for conference play and a Friday night?
Much better than last season!
This was my impression. You'd love to have marquee matchups on the weekend and we don't.True, but it looks like a couple of those are during semester break..ie no students.
Meanwhile we have to travel to Purdue, Ohio St, Iowa, Indiana, and Wisconsin for weekend games in front of their student sections.
Favorable schedule overall, but still underwhelmed by our weekend home games.
2 games against the predicted bottom of the conference finishersHere's the finalized schedule-

Oh la la!Saw that too, has a US flag on the post so looks like he will be here soon.
I may have to make the trip from tobacco road to that game. Five hours for a Friday night game ain't bad. I wonder how easy/hard terps tix are to get.It looks like a fairly favorable schedule to me. Feb doesn't look nearly as brutal as it has in certain previous seasons. Have marked Dec. 2 here in DC on the calendar. I'll enjoy a second straight season of seeing the boys play live!
I seriously wonder if they don't put some "big matchups" on the week on purpose because they know they'll pull good ratings no matter what. Illinois/Indiana is going to have great ratings any day of the week ... passionate and large fan bases that expect good years. Meanwhile, you might be able to turn Iowa/Wisconsin into a ratings win on a Saturday where it might deliver subpar numbers Thursday night.This was my impression. You'd love to have marquee matchups on the weekend and we don't.
C'mon over! Last year for a late Jan Friday night game they were effortless to obtain. I'd never seen the Xfinity Center that empty (announced attendance was 12k in an 18k arena but there couldn't have been more than 5-7k there.) Turgeon quit in early December and the fan base just abandoned the team.I may have to make the trip from tobacco road to that game. Five hours for a Friday night game ain't bad. I wonder how easy/hard terps tix are to get.
Teams like that, with powerful big men, scare me this year.Something tells me those last two March games will be pivotal!
see y'all thereSATURDAY IN IOWA CITY, BABY!
I expect to see you all there, great place to watch a game (as far as vantage points go), cheap tickets, a fun college town and the epic opportunity to watch Iowa fans feel humiliated as the arena is filled with orange shirts!
Take a look at the number of weekend home games Michigan has.3 home Sat games for conference play and a Friday night?
