I was thinking this morning... how much I would love a 2 day BTN Season Kickoff.  Every game broadcast by BTN starting at 8 AM on the first day of the basketball season.  I would totally watch!  If you take everyones first games, the schedule could look something like this.

 

Day 1 and Day 2 would look like... All Times CST

 

8 AM-- Rutgers Vs. CCNY

10:30 AM-- Maryland-- Stoney Brooke

1 PM-- Indiana-- Indiana State

3:30 PM-- Illinois-- Southern University

6 PM-- Purdue Vs. SIUE Edwardsville

8:30 PM-- Minnesota Vs. USC Upstate

11 PM-- Nebraska Vs. Eastern Illinois

 

 

8 AM-- Penn State Vs. Campbell

10:30 AM--Ohio State-- Robert Morris

1 PM-- Michigan-- Central Michigan (I had to exclude opener vs North Florida since they would have already played MSU)

3:30 PM-- Wisconsin-- South Carolina State

6 PM-- Northwestern Vs. Loyola Maryland

8:30 PM-- Michigan State Vs. North Florida

11 PM-- Iowa Vs. Chicago State

Jayschool is on point. Northwestern could EASILY beat the Bluebirds & Bucky the Badger will have his hands full with Xavier.

Well Well Well

Bump

 

 

[throwback]

Providence currently a 2-pt favorite over the Rodents. Hopefully Minny can steal this one on the road.

I wish all of the Big East teams were involved in the Gavitt Games. Would be fun to have 10 games. To me, this event loses some of its luster when neither Michigan State nor Villanova are involved. Any Big Ten team would be thrilled to play Georgetown. Any Big East team would be thrilled to play Michigan. I wasn't expecting the Gavitt Games to be on par with the B1G/ACC Challenge, but it could be MUCH better.

[jayschool]

I wish Iowa were forced to play in it. Man, their non-con schedule is weak outside the B1G-ACC game against Virginia Tech.

[throwback]

Minnesota 86, at Providence 74

7:30 pm – Purdue at Marquette, FS1

[throwback]

Purdue 32, Marquette 30 at half - pretty good defense from MU, as Purdue has been scoring at will vs lesser opponents so far this season - Boilers led most of the half by 5-8 pts

 

PU was a 5-pt favorite at tip 

Edited November 15, 2017 by throwback

[throwback]

PU wins going away - man, Purdue moves the ball well. Impressive 2nd half offensively for the Boilers.

A couple of random close-ups on Ed Morrow on the MU bench during the broadcast

 

Great start for the B1G vs that other league with two double-digit road wins

 

Minnesota 86, at Providence 74

Purdue 86, at Marquette 71

 

Wednesday, Nov. 15 -- B1G leads 2-0

5:30 pm – Indiana at Seton Hall, FS1

7:30 pm – Butler at Maryland, FS1

8 pm – Creighton at Northwestern, BTN

 

Thursday, Nov. 16

**5:30 pm – Nebraska at St. John’s, FS1

7:30 pm – Xavier at Wisconsin, FS1

 

Friday, Nov. 17

7:30 pm – DePaul at Illinois, BTN

 

After Maryland and NW win tomorrow, NU can clinch things on Thursday. Setting up perfectly!

I haven't looked at this Gavitt Games schedule in awhile, but these do seem to be pretty even match-ups. Should be fun to watch!

[AuroranHusker]

Seems like they nailed the private-schools-with-guys-on-the-benches-being-jags matchup this season.

[hhcmatt]

I should have clipped this prior

KenPom does a conference ranking deal. It doesn't necessarily mean anything 

[throwback]

The Hall 37, Indiana 34 early 2nd half

[49r]

Hall pulling away now.

[throwback]

Ha, yeah, my thought that IU hung around for a half, so they might be able to hang around for 40 min didn't last long. 

Edited November 16, 2017 by throwback

[hskr4life]

Hoosiers now getting smacked in the 2nd half... yikes.

[49r]

In fairness, Seton Hall is....REALLY good...

[Noah121]

At the first media timeout, it's NU 8, CU 9.

[Noah121]

NU 29-38 CU with 6:30 left in the first.

[atskooc]

CU making NWestern look pretty bad.
