South Carolina is a good OOC home and away. Last year, South Carolina was pretty bad (124 on KenPom), but Frank Martin usually has them in the 70-80 range. For an away game, that would be pretty good. It's less valuable as a home game in 2022-2023, but I will take it all day long over SWAC/MEAC. Hopefully it's a sign that we are moving in the direction of better schedules. Agreed I think it’s good that we have them away this coming year as it’s a better positive for our net rank, also we all know the committee is biased towards power conferences (it really showed this year imo when the big 10 got so many teams in with only 1 through to the sweet sixteen and we had 2 in 4) so playing a p5 is very solid rather than, no offense, a coppin state. Since UConn is back and we still play home and home (which i think is great) that’s two less non confs we get so gotta make them count and this is a good start. We should still have a couple “soft ones” to help the team gel early so i like how this is December. But we should be careful with them and TCU because those losses can really hurt since neither are really projected to be on the bubble next season, gotta respect your opponent and we get to say hello to Dixon this season lol should be fun

Since currently we are probably only playing two tournament teams OOC (Cuse, probably USC or SDSU) is there any particular team or conf that people think we should play esp for the sake of the bubble? We just don't want a weak OOC to bite us in the ass again

Of course I would love to play Maryland, but that is a pipe dream!

Yea I know but just always feel like they missing a opportunity to bring a buzz to the city Definitely like if GW and us were more competitive in their respective conferences those would be fun year in and year out games for the city but even since we aren’t, that could still just be an obvious early season ooc game and GW’s arena is closer to G’town than cap one lol also seems more snug with 5000 seats

Isn't it easier for a team like Xavier to set their dates since they play in their own arena?

Hopefully Georgetown gets invited to future Jumpman Invitationals... I'm sure we will. I figure we were left out of this grouping because those are all teams that are part of the Jumpman Football brand which is still in its infancy. I assume it is part of their contracts.

Well there you go--not what I wanted. My undergrad v. law school. Always lean to the Hoyas but no one should sleep on the Aztecs. They are going to be a good team again this year and will have a home court crowd.

I know people are going to scoff at me bringing up Lunardi's bracketology in July but he has them as a 9 seed for what's that worth...

Yeah and USC is a 7 and there was no way we were gonna play st joe’s in the first game so let’s do our best bc if the Aztecs are gonna be around a 9 then it’s an important game for our chances
