Next Years OOC Schedule

[bob87]

More on the TU blog. Opening round games are November 9-13, midweek trip out to Syracuse would be in order. We play the three games at Sefcu on consecutive nights - Wow! I'm guessing the other teams are playing each other at the Cue on those nights also?

I have not seen info on the websites confirming what Mark S said about UA playing straight 3 nights. The website has the 4 "host" teams playing in the Garden 11/19 and 11/20. The dates of the first round are correct per the coaches vs cancer website. Somewhere already posted said the 4 teams would play round robins, so I would expect 3 doubleheaders at UA whether on 3 straight nights or with a day off.

Albany will be playing Michael Jordan's son Marcus next year as he committed to UCF yesterday.

That's pretty cool..chose UCF over places like Toledo, Davidson and Iowa.

 

With the Tarheels winning the national championship last night..and assuming the reports/rumors are true..the Danes will have played the defending national champs two years in a row..Kansas in 08-09 and UNC in 09-10..also played the eventual national champ Florida in 05-06..that's some fun scheduling.

UNC will be a very different team next year....Ty and Tyler will both be gone....Ellington might be gone also. Doesn't mean a thing as they will just reload but it will be a different team.

Mike Black has already played against him in Chicago so he should be familiar with him. Michael Jordan's son and Wynton Marsalis's son on tap for next year.

Yes , that means that is what Albany is looking for.

 

Hopefully if the report is accurate, they get that with a decent opponent.

As anyone smarter than a $iena fan knows, just because you want something doesn't mean you get it. You got to be providing a match for what the other school is looking for also.

Friday night I think, Channel 6 said Brigham Young was talking to both Albany and Siena about a game in Albany in 2010-11 (for Jimmer Fredette).

An NYC blog says we'll be playing Iona next year.

 

"- Next season Iona will be playing in the Old Spice Tourney in Orlando over Thanksgiving weekend. The home opener will most likely be vs. Boston University. They will also play LIU, Albany and a BracketBusters opponent at home this year."

Can anybody confirm the date for the Siena-UA game in 2009? I have heard December 5th a Saturday at 7pm. That would make sense since the series usually is played lately on the first Saturday in December. Should be a fun game and special for UAlbany fans to be able to see their team play a potential top 25 team in their own back yard.

The annual game is almost always on the first Saturday in December, or at least it has been the past several years. I would imagine that would hold true for this year too.

I agree, it'll be fun for the City of Albany to watch their team (UAlbany) play Siena. Though I'm not sure I'd put UAlbany as a potential top 25 team at this point, though perhaps by the Siena game.

MTS - I've also heard an evening game on Saturday, December 5, although the fact that there has been a $5 price increase on the ticket order form makes me think that it might be part of a womens/mens doubleheader.
