Marquette at home next year?

[awd4cy]

That is a nice game we are getting.

 

[ISUCyclones2015]

When was the last time we had a good matchup in this? Seems like we always get screwed

 

[Drew0311]

Glad we don’t have to go to Uconn

Had Creighton two (?) years ago.

 

[NoCreativity]

Nice!

I said what I said

 

[JP4CY]

Patrick McCaffery playing at Houston? Yikes.

 

[DrClone]

Like those matchups for the B12. Even considering the home and away games B12 teams should be favored or have a good chance to win most of these match ups.

 

[Sigmapolis]

Big 12 teams participating:

Baylor
Kansas
Houston
Iowa St.
Kansas St.
TCU
Cincinnati
BYU
Oklahoma St.
West Virgina
Texas Tech

Big 12 teams not participating:

Arizona
Arizona St.
Colorado
UCF
Utah

It looks like the "new guys" from the Pac-12 and the weakest of the four from last year were left off.

I'd still like to see something with the Big Ten.

Using the Torvik preseason rankings would give you this...

Houston / Purdue
Iowa St. / UCLA
Kansas / Michigan St.
Arizona / Indiana
Baylor / Nebraska
Cincinnati / Rutgers
Texas Tech / USC
Kansas St. / Wisconsin
Colorado / Michigan
UCF / Maryland
TCU / Ohio St.
BYU / Oregon
Arizona St. / Iowa
Utah / Northwestern
West Virginia / Illinois
Oklahoma St. / Minnesota

Left out = Penn St. and Washington

 

[HouClone]

Yeah, not sure why the Big 12 and Big 10 haven't set up a Challenge yet. Comparable team numbers, both Fox. SEC and ACC, both ESPN, set their Challenge up many months ago.

I actually think the Big East wins 6 of these. Five I think I favor the Big East regardless of the betting odds and KU/Creighton a coin flip and giving the nod to Creighton being at home.

UConn
St. John’s
Providence
Creighton
Villanova
Seton Hall

Just a guess because we have zero idea about some of these teams with the transfer situation. But that’s my initial thought.

Well since the Big 12 Big East challenge is ending after this upcoming season, they may very well be in the works

 

[CycloneVet]

Patrick McCaffery playing at Houston? Yikes.

I’m concerned for his safety

 

[Cardinal2001]

Big 10 and SEC will schedule matchups, they are the big dogs in the money. We should try the ACC, since they seem to have lots more success in the tournament than anyone else.

I say volunteer to go to UConn. Get some big games under our belt. We need to up the schedule strength, like Kansas does.

 

[Cardinal2001]

We should start playing Creighton ASAP.

 

[JP4CY]

We should start playing Creighton ASAP.

There is no reason to not play home and home every year vs them. None.

They sell beer there. +1

 

[CyPunch]

Creighton would be a fantastic home and home

 

[JP4CY]

They sell beer there. +1

"Dollar Beer Night in Omaha" is a big effing deal.
Not sure how many times a year they do it but it's wild.

 

[CycloneErik]

Maui, Marquette in the Challenge, and Creighton would make a noncon that's awfully hard to complain about.
I'll find a way, because dedication, but that would be a heck of a deal.
