Scheduling 2018/2019

Post by Jbuchholz »

First of all, what an incredible season. As I’m sure all of you are, I’m trying to appreciate this run but also look forward to next season. There’s already some good news for next season. According to Jon Rothstein, we will host Nevada in the MVC/MW challenge. I’m not too sure how Nevada projects for next season but either way that will make for a super exciting game!

I hope that is true... that would definitely be a good start to the schedule.

All of Nevada's key players should be back next year, unless they go pro. Caroline and the Martin twins will be seniors in terms of eligibility. They will probably be ranked to start the season.

My concern on scheduling right now is getting into a good MTE.

Pretty sure MTE's are done two years in advance so we won't see an MTE reflective of this season until 19/20

If I recall correctly from one of the season ticket pregame events early in the year, they were already zeroed in on an MTE. Can’t remember which one, though.

I remember hearing something about next years MTE as well... Wish I could remember some details.

The past few years Blogging the Bracket has been the best tracker of MTEs.

Nothing here?!?!

My vote is Vegas... looks like there's room for a couple more teams.

The paperwork has been signed and delivered and approved by the MVC.
Loyola will play in the Islands of Bahamas Classic
at the Kendall Isaacs Gym.
It is before Thanksgiving and I believe is the 15th to 19th of November.
Three games are guaranteed.

The following year it will be the Cayman Islands.

The teams for Islands of Bahamas Classic have not been posted.
Nassau is the island.

I have this on the best of authorities.

Signed, sealed and delivered

What's your thoughts on this tournament, guys? I have no idea what kind of teams this tournament attracts every year... but the location has to be better for recruiting players and other teams over Savannah Georgia. I would assume this has to be a step up over last years!?!?
