So I know we open with Colgate at home.

 

Looks like we're on the road in week 3 to Youngstown State.

Strange stadium....but terribly awful place to visit. That's a road game I will miss because Youngstown is just such a blech town...but I like the matchup and it helps keep what has proven to be a nice recruiting ground for UA Hoops and Football.

Ahhh the Ice Castle. The most lop-sided stadium around.

 

 

Plus they haven't been able to fill it in a long time so it looks even weirder.

I think one side is like 18,000 seats...correct?

17,000

 

The home side was built first.....I guess with the hopes of something greater.

OK so the full 2012 schedule is confirmed.

 

OOC is as follows:

 

vs. Colgate

@ Maine

@ Youngstown State

 

Then the rest of the NEC schedule. Its our tough year in the NEC as we travel to Duquesne and to Robert Morris.

 

That makes 4 very long trips - Duquesne, RMU, Youngstown State and Maine.

That...is a really difficult schedule. I don't know what Maine returns...but we easily could go 0-3 in OOC if Leathly doesn't come out firing from the get go...and we start out slow in the opener.

 

I don't think we should have many problems handling RMU...even with the travel, but I do think the Dukes hang one on us; they are hungry and prob pissed they lost the tie-breaker.

 

Colgate, in my eyes...is a must win to stop us from going down with 4 (or potentially 5) losses. I see Bryant as being a really difficult game for us...but similarly to Duquense, we should be hungry to kick the $iena out of them for this year's loss. I don't CCSU being much of a factor next year...and I do think Monmouth will be a tight game.
