Heading to Northwestern. A little more info on the rest of the Gavitt Games.

After getting Indiana and Wisky I guess it was inevitable to get a perennial also-ran. Fortunately the Cats have been better lately so this should be a chance for a quality road win.

This is a chance for a quality road win, but it is more likely to be a quality road loss, UNLESS we get Tugs. This is one of those games where we will need more scoring,it will be a very tough road game. Cats are bringing back almost all their players, and they certainly looked better than us at the end of last year. Even if our new recruits sans Tugs do better than expected, it will take longer into the season for them to jell. We will undoubtedly be an underdog in this game.

You are quite the Debbie Downer. The Jays will be fine. Not guaranteeing a win, but sheesh.

Heading to Gonzaga for start of H/H series.

AWESOME

Gonna be a tough out of conference schedule!!

Wonder what network that will be on. No lose situation, so good scheduling move by adding GU.

The other home game the Zags added is Incarnate Word. I hope they fare better against them than a certain other team we are familiar with.

One of the ESPN networks, almost certainly. They've got first-tier rights to the WCC and it's doubtful they'll pass this one up; not a lot of competition in November/December for marquee games in that late-night timeslot (presuming this ends up as a weeknight game). Of course it could end up on a weekend, in which case it would probably be part of the Zags' regional TV package on ROOT Sports (and streamed on ESPN3 for everyone else).
