What's the name of the Bahamas tournament? And what's holding up the announcement? Island of the Bahamas Showcase. Not announced yet because they're still trying to land an 8th team, last I heard.

So last year's Bahamas tournament
Rice-15-17 conference USA East Carolina-American conference but a bad 11-20 Evansville-Missouri Valley Conference but a bad 9-23 George Washington-A10 but had a poor season
So this tournament does get teams from some solid MM conferences, but getting the bottom tier programs which is the problem.

My problem, while a student at Iona, was that I always had teachers like 15 and joebird, and ended up with a lot of C's. Most of my friends had teachers like sharkey and Guy and they got a lot of A's. It's not fair. You had teachers at Iona that were slightly underwhelmed about the basketball schedule? Either I'm not too bright or this metaphor was a swing and a miss.

Jaden showing Virginia-Villanova on 12/19 @ MSG. Saw that and asked him about it. Did a Twitter search and all 3 games are listed there on 12/19. Wondering if the Gotham Classic is in the afternoon and the Virginia-Nova game is part of something else in the evening. Could be a triple header?

Just go back to last year's schedule and tell me that this year's sked isn't a step up. You might think that I swung and missed and you might be correct, but it would be better, imo, if you said I bricked that shot.

Love this schedule so much more than what we were getting the past couple of seasons. I think Coach Stanley should get credit for his work. Coach Cluess really emphasized buy games. The assistant that was responsible for the mess the last couple of years was a nice guy, but IMO not capable at the D1 level. As far as the Bahamas tourney, not expecting Syracuse and Bost Coll. Expecting teams like Drexel, Coastal Carolina, Northern Kentucky, Austin Peay, Drake, Northern Illinois, St. Joes, Old Dominion, U texas San antonio etc...

Love. HOME against Harvard. HOME against Loyola. HOME against Morgan St. HOME against Albany Wow you set your sights really low Realistic. Patriot, America East, Ivy, NEC and Meac are pretty much all we are going to get to come to Hynes. Will take quantity over quality.

Agreed. I believe the Bahamas tournament is 3 games, so there is 1 more game to be scheduled. Hopefully on the road against a HM program or very good MM Albany is home the other game you will like but not a major Sound like you are talking about St. John's

So the highlights of the schedule are? We usually have 3 buy games I will say I have accepted the schedule but I miss playing good teams and giving our teams that one night where they could be special Example NC at MSG
