I would say it is far from difficult.

If you scroll down to UMass, he says we have home games pending with UCF and Akron in addition to the games Mike has listed in the 2021 preview. That would give us 11 non-conference games thus far. Mike's list:
Schedule
Confirmed
November 9 (Tue) - UMBC - Home. Unclear if this is a one-off or this begins a new series.7)
November 12 (Fri) - Yale - Away. Unclear if this is a one-off or this begins a new series.8)
November 15 (Mon) - Penn State - Home. This season's game begins a home-and-home series, in conjunction with an agreement for UM/PSU football games.9)10)11)12)
November 27 (Sat) - Rutgers - Home. This returns our game at Rutgers from November 2019.13)14)15)
December 4 (Sat) - Harvard - Home. This game concludes our series.16)17)
December 11 (Sat) - North Texas - Neutral. Jon Rothstein reported UM/UNT will be part of a triple-header in Fort Worth, about 40 miles from UNT's campus.18)
December 19 (Sun) - Fairfield - Home. This game concludes our series.19)
New Hampshire, date TBD - Home. Reported by Rocco Miller.20)
UMass-Lowell, date TBD - Home. Jon Rothstein reported we will host Lowell again.21) Prior to the pandemic season of 2020-21, we had hosted UML for our season opener for the previous four seasons.
Wish the scheduling would done earlier in BB as in other sports as Hockey and Football, for vacation planning. Like to book a vacation in NH this fall after leave peeping season. So it's four games waiting for info UNH, UMassLowell, UCF and Akron. IS that correct?
Go UMass!!

The Jersey Mike's event, usually in Jamaica, has historically been an 8-team field. It's at 6 now. Either they tweak the format or the organizers are going to scrape the bottom of the barrel for 2 more available teams.

Website is up but it's pretty much just a front page of photographs
https://www.jerseymikesclassic.com/

Info on the venue, the McArthur Center at Eckerd College, is scant. Renovated a couple years ago. From the few pictures I've seen, it's smaller than Fordham's Rose Hill.

When it was the Jamaica Classic:

The 2019 event had 5 smaller schools and then URI, Utah State and LSU. Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll find the equivalent to that this year with the remaining 2, if they add them. A Mountain West school and a power 6 school. As Umass is the obvious replacement for URI. We shall see. UNCG is usually a very good team. I wouldn't mind going up against them.

Twitter @roccomiller8
UMass will host NJIT as part of its non-conference schedule. Date is set for December 22nd.
https://twitter.com/roccomiller8/status ... 7593917440

Newark NJ's Highlanders went 7-12 overall / 6-10 America East last season, their first in the AE after moving from the Atlantic Sun. Their leading scorer, Zach Cooks, was a senior last season. Not sure if he'll return.

We played NJIT back in 2011 when, ridiculously, they were in the Great West. Since then they languished a couple years as an independent, then did 5 years with the A-Sun.

Taken from 69's post, just updating.

Schedule
Confirmed
November 9 (Tue) - UMBC - Home. Unclear if this is a one-off or this begins a new series.
November 12 (Fri) - Yale - Away. Unclear if this is a one-off or this begins a new series.
November 15 (Mon) - Penn State - Home. This season's game begins a home-and-home series, in conjunction with an agreement for UM/PSU football games.
November 18-21 (Thurs-Sun) - Jersey Mike's Classic - neutral - 3 Games against Ball State, Green Bay, Weber State, FIU, UNCG, possibly +2 others.
November 27 (Sat) - Rutgers - Home. This returns our game at Rutgers from November 2019.
December 4 (Sat) - Harvard - Home. This game concludes our series
December 11 (Sat) - North Texas - Neutral. Jon Rothstein reported UM/UNT will be part of a triple-header in Fort Worth, about 40 miles from UNT's campus.18)
December 19 (Sun) - Fairfield - Home. This game concludes our series.
December 22nd (Wed) - NJIT - Home. Reported by Rocco Miller
New Hampshire, date TBD - Home. Reported by Rocco Miller
UMass-Lowell, date TBD - Home. Jon Rothstein reported we will host Lowell again.21) Prior to the pandemic season of 2020-21, we had hosted UML for our season opener for the previous four seasons.

So that's 13 confirmed with the possibility of 2 more against UCF and Akron. Which brings them to 15. I'd have to imagine the UCF/Akron games won't be played then. With 18 conference games, 31 is probably the max.

Doesn't the Jersey Mikes count as one game?

^Could be. Nothing confirmed. But year's past it was a 3-game, 8-team tournament like most of the rest.

Northeastern on twitter says that we will be at their place on December 7th.
"Jack didn’t have any envy in him," Calipari said. "He was the greatest coach to ever coach here."

The Green Bay announcement on Jersey Mike's basketball said "The classic will stretch from Nov. 18 to Nov. 21 and include three games against mid-major opponents," implying there won't be a school like LSU. However, I think there are some pretty good teams playing.

The Jersey Mike's site now shows the teams in the field, the same 6 we heard about before. Still need two more for a proper tourney.

I got my season ticket EMail reminder and they are planning on 16 home games. Since 9 are conference games, that leaves 7 non-conference games (putting that Isenberg education to work :D ). Using Mike's preview page and some other reported items here is what I found:

11/9 - UMBC
11/14 - Penn State
11/27 - Rutgers
12/4 - Harvard
12/19 - Fairfield
12/22 - NJIT

Also, a game against either Lowell or UNH.


Away:
11/12 - Yale
11/18-11/21 3 games in the Jersey Mike's tournament
12/7 - Northeastern
12/22 - North Texas (technically a neutral site game)

Also, 9 games in the A10. That's 31 games in total and 31 seems to be the norm.
