All Things 2015-16 B1G Schedules


SDSU would make it 3 Summit League opponents on the schedule. Would be unusual to have 3 from one conference, but maybe Pitino has decided to give this schedule a regional flavor, based on what we know so far.

I don't mind playing 3 or so games against the summit league. It's better than playing against SMSU. Also I doubt we'll end up playing against Stanford given we have 3 against against decent competition already (Clemson, Temple and Oklahoma state) with the possibility of 2 more in the tournament. It'd be nice to have a home and home with a mid tier program from a conference a step below the BCS but I doubt it'll happen.

Yes, the Stanford thing is just me wishing for something that won't happen. I will be disappointed if there's not a true road game. With this young of a team, I think it'd be bad practice to send them into the Big Ten season without having played a true road game.

I agree, I loved that home and home we had with Richmond. I wish we could have kept that going as I thought it was beneficial for both teams in the long run.
 





Michigan State releases non conference schedule. http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools.../2015-16/misc_non_event/201516mbbschedule.pdf

The two missing games are Nov. 20th- Home vs. Arkansas-Pine Bluff and Nov. 23- Home vs. Eastern Michigan. Interesting that EMU is the non-bracketed game for the Wooden Legacy as all other particpants besides MSU and Evansville are playing someone else in the field.

Was just about it to post it, thanks. You guys are too quick for me. ... and this is one of the main schedules I've been looking for.
