[XU 87]

10:00 p.m. home game on New Year's Eve against G-town.

[LA Muskie]

Does anyone have any idea what channel FSN-L is???

I was guessing FSOhio since it didn't appear anywhere else but I'm not sure what the L would stand for.

Local, I believe.

[XUOHTX]

Local, I believe.

Yep. Looks like I will have to purchase the sports pack on DTV for the month of January.

[XUOHTX]

BTW. I won't be creating a schedule this year. X has a pretty slick way to download it now. http://www.goxavier.com/ot/xavi-scheds.html (http://www.goxavier.com/ot/xavi-scheds.html)

As long as it's not Latin

[BMoreX]

I had to double-take on the exhibition game...at first I thought it said Norwood.

[XU 87]

Or liberal.

[GoMuskies]

Or liberal.

It's Fox, so no need to worry.

[PM Thor]

Half of the home games are on days when I work. I go through this crap every freaking year. It's getting old. I need to consult with Mack about this.

Or change your job. LOL

[powerofX]

Lots of Saturday options to make the trip with my girlfriend. Want to show her X live for the first time. Will be back later looking to buy two really good tickets! Ha

This is an excellent way to pre-screen for potential marriage partners.

[nuts4xu]

Interesting that ALL of the Big East home games played on Saturday are played in the afternoon... and 6 out of the 9 league home games are on Saturdays.
too.

[Mrs. Garrett]

I'm happy that Xavier plays at DePAul on a Saturday this year. Last year's afternoon game on MLK didn't really work for me.

[NY44]

I love seeing 'The Crosstown Shootout' back on the schedule. Any particular reason it's so late this year?

Yes.

[paulxu]

Excellent. And the bottle is "to size."

[coasterville95]

I'm liking it!

Lots of Saturday games, and the Butler road game is at 2pm on a Saturday, that's doable. How hard a ticket is that game?

Not liking NYE at 10PM - I can cancel all other NYE plans? Will they be passing out champagne at Cintas at Midnight? And its Georgetown to, sothat is a must go.


I also thought I read Norwood for a moment.

Let's see Beer Fest is usually Feb 13 - so thanks for at least making the game on Sat at 3pm for recovery sake.

Coaster,

You will have no problems getting a ticket to Butler if you don't mind sitting higher up. There were around 150 of us there last year, and we drowned out the Butler crowd in the lower bowl.

Yeah, it's very easy and usually a very sizable X contingent.

[X-band '01]

With Saturday as a work day for me, I'm going to be thankful that they have the Fox Sports Go app available for Time Warner now.

I do like that the home finale against Villanova will be on the national Fox network; that could be for the regular season championship if everything goes right this season.

[Masterofreality]

Just don't take her to your old "Love Grotto" dorm room.

I've heard stories....

too.

I like that a lot. Easier commute from the North.

[Fireball]

I can't say that I mind the 10:00 PM NYE game.

Spending New Year's Eve with 10,250 of my closest friends while watching Xavier take town Georgetown as the ball drops in New York? I'm all for it.

[Muskie]

We've already booked a hotel room. (did so last week when first told it might be a possibility).

[paulxu]

So, NYE and the ref's swallow their whistles.
Game is over at 11:47.

Do you stay and hope there's a semi-party at the 'tas with ball drop on the screen and beer stations still open at 12?
Or, are you one of 8,246 people who run up the hill and squeeze into Dana's?

Well, then. I guess I'm not getting THAT game. :laugh:

46 people are going to be S.O.L., our max occupancy is only 8200

FYI, I downloaded the schedule to import to Outlook, but the first five games did not show up. I had to manually input them. Not sure if others will run into this.

I'm looking for Jalen to drop(slam) a ball through the hoop at the stroke of midnight to seal a victory.

This may have already been discussed so I apologize if it has. However, I got to say I am pretty disappointed in the non-conference slate this year. I understand that we are in the Big East now and so we don't need to necessarily go out and play a great non-conference schedule, but it would be great if we could play a couple of marquee games. It would be great to have those for rpi purposes, tournament seeding, and prepare our players for the conference portion of the schedule. Alabama is garbage, Missouri is still probably a year away from being a tournament team, and UC is probably going to be down a bit this year. I am not saying we need to go out and play Kentucky, Louisville, Duke and UNC all in the same year, but a couple of probable tourney type teams would be nice.

I do think that this year is still kind of a transition year into the BE scheduling wise. Next year we start the Gavitt Tipoff Challenge, which should hopefully add a marquee non-con game to the schedule. But I do agree, the Committee has been paying a lot of attention to non-con games lately (SMU) and it's critical to play some probable turnery teams like you said.

When your girlfriend/wife etc is not a Xavier Hoops person (her biggest flaw), these games stink. NYE, Valentines, etc. I can never make those.

We have 7 new players (more than 1/2 our scholarships!) who will play their first game for Xavier this fall. The vast majority of the non-con schedule comes at the beginning of the season when the coaching staff is still trying to get a feel of what each of those kids can do and how they will mesh with their teammates. I believe it was prudent to schedule a bit down from prior years, especially when we were in the A-10 when there were 4-5 members who were RPI killers, some of whom we had to play twice.

If the new kids come around and provide the talent, shooting, and additional depth we hope to see this year, we could still make the NCAA Tourney even if our seeding might suffer a bit because of the less highly rated teams on our non-con schedule. We just have to make the Tourney and then leave it up to our coaching staff and players to prove the Selection Committee wrong.

I'm surprised to hear you say that. Take a closer look at Murray State and SF Austin if you're afraid we are not playing enough quality competition.

With Saturday as a work day for me

You work Saturdays? Are you a mail carrier?

[coasterville95]

And this year they hit both NYE and Valentines day for you. Oh and Crosstown is on Ash Wednesday.

[bobbiemcgee]

Luther Smith will be glad to do a reflection session for 'ya.

Put me down in the confused column.
Do you have one of each (girlfriend and a wife)?
Did she (they) go to UC?
What the hell is going on here.

At different points, yes, yes, yes, no, and I never have any clue.

Good catch. I will have to do the same.

Let's just say that if I were a mailman, all of Nuts' skin rags would never make it to his house.

[PM Thor]

Wait, wait, wait....

Am I missing something? Where is the dayton game? Is it special and being held back so the vd crew can have a week of prep for it?

[xu82]

That game didn't show up on my Outlook Calendar download either......let me check again........Nope.

Guess I'll have to input it to January 32, Twenty Eleventy-Seven.

[Olsingledigit]

Took me awhile to figure it out too but it is Fox Sports - Local meaning Fox Sports Net. Bummer for me since I spend January in South Carolina. Three games are on Fox Sports - Local in January and even the Sports bars might not be able to pick those up. Maybe I can get those on the new online Fox Sports Go. Who knows?

[XfansinKy]

I believe this schedule will work out just right considering how many players are new to D1 basketball as well as some of the returning players who need a confidence boost. I also like the Murray St. game. They take basketball pretty serious there and have a good program. I don't know if the RPI will reflect that.
