As predicted - here's the full schedule including 31 games plus 2 exhibitions -11 non-conference & 20 MVC conference games

as I look at the schedule closer - we have a couple of conference games on Monday & Friday--- a little unusual but
also we play THREE games in a week TWICE...
Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday - January 19, 21, 24
and
Monday, Thursday, Sunday - February 15, 18, 21.

I checked several other MVC teams - most only have such a scheduling feature once - only Bradley & UIC seem to have to do it twice.

Was hoping for more Saturday home games in the MVC schedule, but there are only 2 Saturday home games- SIU on Jan. 16 and UIC on Feb. 6.

Meanwhile, there are 2 Sunday home games, 2 Monday home games, and one each on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

Could some of this be because they are playing more games? It also looks like the Civic Center was not giving BU enough Sat. games?
