couple things really jump out:

1) of course only one home game before Dec 30th

2) this stretch of games:

Sun, Feb 02 William and Mary * JMU Convocation Center Wed, Feb 05 Towson * at Towson, Md.
Sat, Feb 08 Drexel * at Philadelphia, Pa
Mon, Feb 10 Hofstra * JMU Convocation Center
Wed, Feb 12 Delaware *

it's not just that it's 5 games in 11 days, its that it's a back and forth situation. home-road-road-home-road.

that is pretty brutal, and frankly, i'm quite surprised they would let that slide through. i'm sure Brady is not too happy about this little stretch of games.

this kind of thing is why the CAA always played that 1-off conference game in Dec every year. with only 9 teams this season, clearly they opted not to do that this year.

it's a tough schedule, but personally, I'm happy for so many Saturday games--I can actually come down for a couple this year.

Hopefully the W&M home game is early so I can get home and watch the Redskins :)

The one thing that should be looked into is the Towson game. If it were to be moved to Thursday it would make sense to stay on the road for the Sat. game at Drexel. They may do this anyway, but in the past having only one day off between games that were traveled in the same general direction, made some sense.

WTF? that's basically 10 home games and 18-20 (depending on how you view the 2 tourneys) on the road? i like the fact it seems a little tougher than our schedules in the past but 10 piddly home games flat out sucks.

someone help me out. what's the logic behind this schedule?

Poor attendance = make money on the road?? I dunno, just throwing it out there.

happy that I'll get to see the team play in the NIU tourney....easy drive from Chicago.
