2017-2018 Basketball Schedule

Recommended Posts

I also find it hard to believe it is Gavitt tip off game because of the 2K Sports classic which is around the same time.


We'll have to play in the Gavitt Tipoff again soon. It's an 8 year deal with each B1G getting at least 4 games and 8 B1G teams will get 5 games.

We might play a Gavitt Tipoff road game in the Northeast and then just play at MSG for the 2k Classic later in the week.

The Big Ten is planning to play two conference games in early December of 2017, sources told FanRag Sports.

The two games would be part of a “Big Ten Weekend”, which would feature the conference’s football championship game on Saturday, Dec. 2nd.

Each basketball program would play one home game and one away game under the expected plan, with the games taking place between Friday Dec. 1st and Monday Dec. 4th, a separate source said.

The same source said that the Big Ten will not have games between Christmas and New Year’s in 2017, with conference play resuming in early 2018.

If it doesn't bump the RPI's of every team in the B1G, it will at least perceptively make the top teams in the B1G look better; similar to how $EC football plays conference games in weeks 1-3 and they automatically get vaulted up cuz their wins appear more significant.

It'll also help selling and keeping ticket holders having a familiar home game on campus early in the year amongst the usual December games like Sacajawea St.

According to a report by Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports, Indiana will play in the 2K Sports Classic in 2017 along with Providence, Virginia Tech and Washington.

Nothing glamorous about this, imo, other than the recruiting aspect of it all. Those 3 other teams is about our level of "elite" (if you want to call it that) now though, sadly

Those should be much better 5th and 6th games for the RPI than this season.

IPFW - 137
Liberty - 191

VaTech - 39
Prov - 63
Wash - 190

IUBB no longer playing in 2k sports classic in 2017. Saint Louis replacing us according to Jon Rothstein.

Not sure if this is a good or bad omen. Could also mean we're playing a Gavitt game(Big East) on the road and don't want to spend a week straight away to start the season.

This has nothing to do with Crean if that's what your referencing to. Glass said before our dumpster fire season he was getting a "major" home game for 17-18. The odds are the 2K sports classic interfered with that game happening.

Very interesting decision in my opinion. This is an east coast game to help east coast recruiting imo. We've tried to play in east at least 1 time per season since Crean started honing in to the East Coast.

Things are starting to happen.
