That would make a pretty full home schedule with 17 games, 10 of which are on the weekend. There would be 7 Saturday games which should really help attendance.

I wonder what the arrangement is for the Iona game. Is it a one time buy game or part of a series? Will URI travel to New Rochelle? We have played five games there (3-2) with the last game being a loss (77-62) in Dec/2004.

It looks like there shouldn't be any home game conflicts with NE Patriots regular season football games. The only home game currently scheduled on the same day as a Pats game is 11-29-15 vs Rider. The time for URI's game is not yet announced but is not likely to interfere with the Patriots as their game out in Denver that day is 8:30pm in the evening. The Rhody game at Nebraska (time tbd) could possibly conflict with the Pats game at Houston 12-13-15 at 1pm. Nebraska is one hour behind us so you may need to jump channels if the Huskers game starts any time before 3pm central (most common start times are typically either 1 or 2pm so that is a strong possibility).
URI has announced their mini plan information, and I'm a fan. They've gone to more of a voucher system as opposed to telling you which games were included and you need to get five games to get the PC game.
F*ck Alacki, DarthFriar, DirtyBeanFriar94, xCoachK, Boxworth, Friar Faithful, bicycleicycle, Matt_Keough, Patrick Norton, the Rosato brothers, and especially Benjamin Lord !
Any slow break club meetings in the works? I know I'll be down for a couple of Saturday games and I already took 11/17 off for the Valpo game.
Smarty, True Point, skwalk47, and anyone else in the Boston area, I'd be happy to meet for any of the weeknight games on tv. Let's figure something out when said games get closer.

They usually play a game during break there and the date of our game makes the most sense for the Blue Cross Arena. Regardless of site, we get a break playing the Bonnies between semesters with no students. Even more so if it is not at the Reilly Center on campus where they are very tough.
It was announced today that the Bonnies game to be played in Rochester will be March 2nd versus St. Joe's. The game with URI will be played on the SBU campus at the Reilly Center on Wednesday 01-13-16 during their academic break while students are away. Classes for the SBU 2nd semester begin Monday 01-18-16.
It's a good thing we landed the Iona game as Nebraska, Holy Cross, American, Cleveland state among others seem to be lower then you would normally expect.
Found this on CBSSports as one of the 30 best games before Christmas:
Saturday, Dec. 5: Providence (42) at Rhode Island (34).
Few venues will rival that nut house-like vibe that will be happening at the Ryan Center when this game is played. Let's remember that Providence has Kris Dunn, who I think is the best player in the game. Rhode Island is probably the better team this season, and could well win the Atlantic 10. But PC has Dunn. These teams' fan bases absolutely despise each other. The smallest state has some of the biggest hate.

The atmosphere for that game is going to be absolutely incredible. Hopefully, we can pull out the W and really make the Ryan Center shake.
