2023-2024 Schedule

I'd be surprised if JB was still with UD this season. Seemed like a good one season opportunity ...

Maybe Brannen’s not allowed in the Shoe? For sure I’d love to see X, Miami & Dayton every year. OSU? Sure, but there’s just not a rivalry there.

That was my initial thought...

I don't think you get rid of X. I do think you attempt to schedule OSU. However, I don't think they're going to be interested as long as Gene Smith is roaming around up there but we should give it a shot.

Yes they sure like to savor the bad taste that remains in their mouths from the championships we took from them all those years ago. That was just too hard a pill to swallow.

Why would you get rid of our biggest rival....
not to mention the tradition? Just get good enough to beat them for crying out loud.

I would say that at one point in time, loserville was our biggest rival. That kind of went away once the Metro died and they did not join the Great Midwest with UC. Then it really ended when UL went to the ACC.

Why get rid of X? If Wes ever wins one, it might become a good rivalry again. I'd love to play all 3 (x, Dayton, to$u) every year in home and home series'.

We used to play X, Dayton, and Miami every year.

Home and home makes sense. I’d get rid of Xavier if necessary to play Dayton every year.

We've talked several times on this board about doing something similar to the state of Indiana's Crossroads Classic weekend. That's probably what this Dayton thing should have been.

I just saw something about this.

Why though? Just play a home and home. Then you don't have to pay Heritage and Nederlander/Anschutz anything and the schools get all the concession and parking revenue. Right?

Rothtsein: Cincinnati and Dayton are finalizing an agreement to play next season at Heritage Bank Center in downtown Cincinnati, multiple sources told College Hoops Today.

I had lunch with my UCATS rep last week & he indicated UC should be in a holiday tournament. No specifics nor was he 100% sure it would happen.

There is no longer a rule anymore prohibiting the # of years in which you can play in an "MTE" -- this is the only guidance I found, separate from the By-Laws https://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/com...MBB_MTEFAQ.pdf

You can't play in, say, Maui back-to-back years or play in the same event as a conference foe.

UC has played in an event every year for the last 10 or so seasons except for the weird 2021 year in which they had all the COVID cancellations and probably scheduling issues up front.

I paged through Xavier's schedule and have them in an MTE every season from 2006 to date (including hosting an on campus "Xavier Invitational" in 2021)

[Lobot]

Isn't there a rule about the number of early season tournaments within a certain number of years?

Yes there is but It's escaping me as to how many you can participate in over a set amount of years. I think playing in Maui last year means this is an off year for us.
