2021-2022 Schedule

Looks like we're playing two games on 12/22. Maybe split squads? I'm sure we can beat No. Texas with our second string.

I can't get anything past you guys. Call it a typo, North Texas is 12/11. Good catch. Our 6-10 guys aren't that far off from the starters except maybe at center.

69, we read every word you post with baited breath (not sure what that means).

Definition of with bated breath
: in a nervous and excited state anticipating what will happen
They waited for the answer on their application with bated breath.

Ah, I spelled it wrong. I thought it had something to do with bait breath.

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 ). 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.

Save yourself from recreating the wheel.

UM communicated the non-conf schedule. Nothing we didn't already know from prior reports.

Dates, but no times/TV/streaming info yet.

[DirSport]

^^ Hey, I remember when I had to plan my entire winters based on those dates.

Looks like a hoop & hockey double-header on Saturday, 12/4.
Hoop vs Harvard
Hockey vs UM Lowell

No times listed for either, but puck is playing at Lowell on 12/3 at 7. You gotta play, sleep, get to Amherst, so I can't see them starting anytime before 7 on 12/4. That means hoop probably starts at 12 or 1. Any later cuts it too close, I'm guessing.

Must be those stripers you fish for on Cape Cahd confusing you. Stripers, not strippers

Usually hockey at 7 or 8

Difficulty scheduling opponents from power conferences continues. A few years back we'd see 4-5/year from those P5/P6 guys. Now just 2, and we only got those by accepting the football mis-matches Unusual to have 2 from Big 10.
Overall, seems like a very challenging schedule.

If anyone is thinking of coming to The Valley overnight for the doubleheader, you are already late on getting a hotel room. Get on it!
