    Interesting that the Saturday night game @Creighton tips at 9pm, figured 8pm would be the latest tip time , seeing that it is not part of an all-day Big East marathon. Talk about great exposure for a program, even the exhibition game is televised.
    Exhibition game is on local TV (Spectrum ).

    Correct, which is why I stated "televised" and not "nationally or regionally televised."

    - Lucked out again having Senior Day be on a Saturday - especially considering the first two conference games are at home. Was expecting the last conference game of the year on Mar 3rd to be a road game.
    - Will conclude the regular season for the 2nd straight year at home with Creighton.
    - Lots of start times at half past the hour.
    - The Big East will again be playing games on MLK Day (Mon, Jan 15) but it won't be all 10 teams. Only two games scheduled that day (Butler @ Prov and DePaul & MU).
    - MU has a stretch of 3 straight road games (@ Seton Hall, @ St. John's, @ Creighton) and 3 straight home games (Villanova, Butler, Providence).
    - Two long layoffs in the conference schedule -- 9 day break between DePaul and @ Xavier and a 7 day break between @ St. John's and @ Creighton
    - Awesome that the DePaul road game is on the weekend. More opportunity for fans to get down to Chicago and cheer on the squad to victory at the new Wintrust Arena.
    - Sunday, Jan 28th on big Fox vs. 'Nova. Nice! And that's the weekend break for the NFL before the Super Bowl so no potential conflict with a Packer playoff game.
    I am surprised the Saturday, January 6th, game @Nova is a 7pm tip. That is the first weekend of the NFL playoffs and there always is a game Saturday night.

    Not conference schedule here, but look at G-Town's NC schedule other than a home game against Syracuse:

    Jacksonville
    Mount St. Mary's
    UMES
    Richmond
    Maine
    Coppin State
    Howard
    North Carolina A&T
    North Texas
    Alabama A&M

    The wolves are howling!

    National MU Day game is an afternoon game. That's a bummer. Last year was a Saturday night game and was quite fun as the whole campus was one big party all afternoon long before the game. (It didn't hurt that it was close to 70 degrees in February that day!)

    Followed by Purdue at Indiana that day on FOX.

    That is effing atrocious and a slap in the face to the rest of the conference members. Hope they go 0-18 in conference play.
