I have grown tired of waiting for the Big East and Big Ten to announce the Gavitt Tipoff Games schedule for this upcoming season. They were announced on May 29th last season. As I type this on Thursday morning, it is June 25th. Marquette men’s basketball announced their full 2020-21 non-conference basketball slate..... other than the Gavitt Game..... back on June 11th. It’s been another two weeks.
And so, it’s time to jump feet first into comparing the non-conference schedule to the recent previous seasons.
It’s a simple endeavor. I take the schedule, and then check every team’s final KenPom.
