No exhibition - two scrimmages instead.

I know there is no exhibition game,but when do the practice games generally occur? Typically a couple of weeks prior to the first game. They are generally on a Saturday or Sunday to minimize travel impact on class time. They only resemble a "game" in the sense of one team vs another - the formats are chosen mutually by the opposing coaches and usually run in 10 minute segments where a zone may be played by both teams, lineups are shuffled - starters vs starters - benches vs benches, man defenses, etc. The last segment may be more game like in that each coach calls his own game and runs players in and out as in a real game. It's up to the coaches. The biggest difference between these "games" and an exhibition is that no fans are allowed in the gym and coaches are forbidden to comment specifically on what transpired. It's essentially an up tempo practice against different players and in longer segments to simulate real game situations - invaluable practice time.

As has been mentioned, it's now confirmed we won't be playing a D2 exhibition. Jeff Goodman reporting we'll be playing 2 secret scrimmages (you are only allowed 2 preseason games, charity, non-D1, secret, whatever) against UMass (10/20) and LIU Brooklyn (10/27). watchstadium.com/news/not-so-secret-list-of-2018-college-basketball-scrimmages-10-09-2018/UMass projected for a big year in the A10, LIU a contender but not the favorite in the NEC. 2 good tests for us behind closed doors to find our stride before tipping off against Providence.
