2023-2024 Schedule

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

[Carthage World]

Over 100 teams listed as participating in early season tournaments, and UC not among them (obviously we'd have heard if they were in one already, just saying). https://collegehoopstoday.com/index....023-24-season/

Hopefully the early season slate isn't just a bunch of cupcakes + at Xavier. Obviously there is something to stacking a bunch of wins ahead of the daunting Big 12 slate, but always good to play a few big games early. Certainly for season ticket holders need a good name or two.

It would be great if we could get a "Buckeye Classic" going among the state's D1 teams.

4 total teams playing across a weekend in November/December.

2 of those teams are either UC, OSU, Dayton, or X.

Then you include 1 MAC school (Toledo, Ohio, Kent St, etc) and 1 Horizon League team (Wright St, Cleveland St, Youngstown St).

Obviously try and rotate schools year after year.

You could rotate sites between the Cavs Arena & Nationwide Arena.

UC vs Toledo & OSU vs Cleveland State on night #1. Winners and losers play each other on night #2.

Feel like it would be a pretty good draw.

@JonRothstein: Source: Cincinnati will host Merrimack on December 19th at Fifth Third Arena.


Merrimack, as you may recall, won the NEC conference tournament but was ineligible for the NCAA Tournament... thus, Fairleigh Dickinson got in instead.

As it stands UC, UCF, and BYU are the three weakest teams in the Big 12. That could obviously change in the next few weeks, but if preseason standings came out today those 3 teams would be picked to finish 12-14.

Wonder if that's the reason?

It's probably a nod to include all legacy Big 12 teams leaving only one opening for the four incoming schools, and Houston is clearly in the best position to positively represent Big 12 next year.

UC is not among the eleven Big 12 schools partaking in the 2023 Big East-Big 12 battle, per Jon Rothstein https://twitter.com/JonRothstein/sta...160088576?s=20

Houston gets a road game at Xavier, while the other three newcomers (UC, UCF, BYU) are the lone teams not participating.

I would have liked a Marquette game for old times sake

Actually, the B12 settled on an 18-game schedule. There will be five home-and-away games each year. However, back in October they announced only one such dual matchup for each team for the next two years, setting these up as rivalries. The remaining four home-and-away games will be determined later.

Thanks, I knew I couldn’t be right about that, so I was coming back to correct my post, and now I don’t have to.

We also know our Big 12 opponents, WVU twice, everybody else once. That means a 14 game league schedule.
