Schedule release will be 1 game every 3 minutes in chronological order. Not all at once

This schedule is going to be more difficult than originally thought: vs American, @xavier, Vs St. Bonaventure, @harvard,@yale,@colgate,@cal Poly, vs Bucknell, vs Holy Cross Siena non-conference schedule
Nov. 5 vs. American, 7pm Nov. 8 @ Xavier, 7pm Nov. 12 vs. St. Bonaventure, 7pm Nov. 14 @ Harvard, 7pm Nov. 20 @ Yale, 7pm Nov. 30 @ Colgate, TBD Dec. 7 @ Cal Poly, TBD Dec. 21 vs. Bucknell, TBD Dec. 29 vs. Holy Cross, TBDIt's VERY top heavy. It's a tough schedule but not unmanageable by any means if we are as good as we hope to be. First four games we'll play in a 9 day stretch. After the Harvard game we'll play 4 games in 37 days. Good chance for Carm and the staff to make the necessary adjustments for a team with a lot of new pieces. Odd that are are so many long "breaks" six days in between Harvard and Yale games (6 days) and then 10 days between Yale and Colgate. I get the two weeks from Cal Poly to Bucknell since Siena normally takes off 10-14 days around that time for finals. And then 8 days before Bucknell and Holy Cross for Christmas. Never easy putting together a schedule. With the MAAC going back to 20 games I wonder if two MAAC games will go into some of the open dates? Only bad part is 39 days before home games. But sometimes that happens. I think Siena will go 5-4 or 6-3...before diving into all of these teams. The American game at home to start is huge need that one with a tough four game trip coming up right after it.

Not playing any exhibition games and having a new coach will again make it harder for Siena to be scouted early. Most all teams will know is that they have to defend Pickett. Maybe that helps some.
I bet Pickett will get doubled and trapped a lot early and Carey and Co. sees the ball a lot.

Then Don drops 25 on someone and that's the end of that. We've got a lot of good options!

I know this is somewhat out of our control but I hope the MAAC schedule has a more Fri and Sat night games. Last few years have been meh as far as dates and times. With better days/times you’re gonna get more students as well.

I like the opponents, but don’t care for the really long gap between home games. So given that we still have to schedule 20 MAAC games, I hope two can be in December. Otherwise, we're looking at 20 games in 60 days after New Year's, and last year we had a stretch of 4 home games in about 9 days which was not great for attendance.

I think there has to be some maac games in there somewhere to break the gap. Love the 29 game schedule as opposed to the lousy in season tourneys. Quality over quantity. Great schedule.

Another home game is great but I would have loved to see this team play the Bruins.
