Pretty nice slate.

Thanks, CLK!
It's good to see a schedule without any low ranked conferences (such as the NEC, Southland, SWAC, Mid-Eastern, etc.). Overall, a good mix with a Big East team, either a PAC-12 or MVC team in Virgin Islands, a MAC, Conference USA, Southern, Big West, Big Sky, Colonial, Patriot, America East and MAAC teams.
The pinned schedule thread has been updated.

I agree Phoenix. Here is a direct link to the DU article.

Thanks for the great leg work once again CLK. That's a solid schedule. The renewal with Depaul is intriguing. Let's just hope there's a season where fans can attend and all players can play, but looking at the COVID numbers and the number of unvaccinated persons it's not looking promising. It would be a darn shame if the fieldhouse can't be fully utilized.

Ray rich - I sure do agree. I have been enduring serious Dukes basketball withdrawal. I just hope I can see most games on TV if things keep deteriorating. CLK - thanks as always. I would have loved a guaranteed Power Five but overall a very exciting schedule.

I fully expect DU to require at least masks to get into the Coop. Possibly masks AND proof of vaccine. That will keep some away for sure.

Like it. What better argument/audition to make for the Big East than to slap around one of their bottom feeders in their house???

Interesting that one of these non-conference games has to be played at the PPG Paints Arena. This is a requirement of Duquesne as part of the commitment to host the 21-22 NCAA tourney games.
