Big ten Big east challenge

[WindyCitySource 600]

They'd never do Indiana/Butler but I, too, am surprised that Indiana didn't get Xavier, Cincy or Marquette. Creighton is not terrible, but by comparison it's a pretty weak match-up.

 

Still an upgrade over East West State Tech, though. 

[WindyCitySource 600]

Also... looks like there will be 8 games per year, so not everyone in the B1G will play every year. 

 

It would be pretty cool if Indiana drew a game at DePaul at some point with this event. Would love another opportunity to see the Hoosiers up here in Chicago.

Cincy isn't in the Big East, but I do agree with you that our matchup could have been much better, in both the level of play as well as the storylines.

Cool to know. We should get the W on this one. I fully expected Xavier or Marquette though.

Whoops forgot about Cincy

Thank God their coaches kid is gone or with our D he'd score 85 on us himself. 

Be aware of anyone that resembles a McDermott wearing a fake mustache or funny-nose glasses.

Yeah I'm not hyped about this game but it could always be worse I guess. I would have loved to play Xavier.

[OliviaPope40 6,543]

Not enough Big East teams for everybody to play.

[yogisballin 2,374]

Nebraska gets Villanova and we get Creighton? Kind of silly imo.

Yeah that's jacked up! I was really hoping for Nova here

Or Xavier, forgot them. I'm still a little messed up on the conference realignments thing

I don't understand why the B1G agreed to this.

 

 

$$$$$$$$$ and TV exposure not to mention trying to make further inroads to the east coast market.

$$$$$$$$$ and TV exposure not to mention trying to make further inroads to the east coast market.

If they wanted big tv exposure why not have Purdue play in this?







I could not even keep a straight face typing that.

Thriving east coast markets like Indy, Cincy, Chicago, Milwaukee, and Omaha.

I love this so much.

[OliviaPope40 6,543]

Butler will not be playing due to a conflict with a thing in sunny Puerto Rico that is around the same time.
