Games scheduled for next season

[WeWant9]

What games do we have locked in for next year, off the top of my head:

Champions Classic (duke)
CBS Classic (osu?)
Gonzaga in Seattle
Louisville @ Rupp
SEC/ACC Challenge- probably on the road
St. John’s (?)

SEC should be tough once again and fresh match ups with Texas and Oklahoma.

Anything else missing here? Anything you’d like to see, that’s a pretty good start right there for a schedule.

I’d bet we get something with BYU at some point, maybe not next season though. Indiana series starts back up the following season, too.

Pope knew what he was getting into.

That's a tough schedule. Figure at unc or at nc state maybe as acc road game.

@ Chapel Hill was my first thought since that’s the money match up and we’re already playing duke; but NC St is an intriguing one too.

Maybe at uva. Popes offense vs Bennetts defense angle.

I thought the Gonzaga series was just a two year deal?

6 year deal. Next year is Seattle followed by Nashville, Rupp, and finally @Zaga

That Arkansas game will probably be big. Just guessing.

It’d be cool if they did a “neutral site” game against an in state opponent first game of the year in Memorial Coliseum and did a general admission that can only be purchased at the door.

Man, Cal really knocked that Gonzaga series out of the park.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Not too worried, Pope had just as tough of schedule at BYU last year, only a little weak in OOC play.. but honestly, BYU deserves that, punching well above their "means" in the B12.

Maui 2026?

 

[TexKat]

I still think we should scratch the upcoming game(s) with Hoosiers. That ship has sailed and nothing to gain playing them after last fiasco

 

[kywildcat41086]

If we get out of the stupid champions classic eventually . I’d love to have a home and home with Duke every year.

Would like to see Pope bring back the game in Louisville. Was always nice to have a short drive once a year. Just make it a reasonably decent opponent.
