Aren’t there two more OOC games yet to be announced?

There could be 2 more, but I would be shocked if its anything besides some buy games.

Delete if this post is not allowed. Anyone see the presale code for Battle In Baltimore? I got it from AI as HOOPS

Here's how not to get me to travel to games. Schedule Towson and then charge $211.45 per average seat. Those $48.50 seats probably don't have good views.

That is the get in price for both games to my understanding

it is a start, that can hopefully be rolled into a regular season matchup in the future

Interestingly, Villanova scheduled 3 exhibition games: at Rutgers, and vs. GMU and UVA.

Agreed, multiple exhibition games against real opponents is interesting to see

I hope there are plans for a bus trip to the game

Highly doubt it since it’s just an exhibition

...and why aren't we scheduling the max for exhibition games? Or are we doing the more informal intra-squad scrimmages?

The NCAA expanded the maximum limit from two games to three games starting with the 2026 – 27 season.

Taking advantage of more opportunities for real competition is a no-brainer.

George Mason vs Towson in Baltimore on Saturday December 19th 2026

Who else going to this game?

I'm definitely planning on going now since my 6 year old said he wants to go with friends for his birthday - so we are going to make a weekend of it in Baltimore. Only issue will be if the demand from UMD fans keeps the prices absurdly high. Looks like there are only doubleheader tickets being sold, but the capacity is over 11,000 for basketball - bigger arena than I thought.

I think prices will go down when they release the 200 level seats.

I don’t know, email Tony or someone on staff and ask? lol

Are crab cakes acceptable birthday cakes for a 6 year old 's birthday?

At mine they absolutely would be - but I think this is the wrong thread?

This is shaping up to be a pretty solid non conference schedule.

I like having Villanova as the exhibition because it gives the team a serious test right away without the result actually hurting anything. High Point on the road should be another good measuring stick.

The neutral games with Kansas City, Bradley and Towson could end up being important too. Those are exactly the kind of games you want to win if you are trying to build a decent postseason resume.

ODU at home should be fun after winning the first game of the series. Overall it looks balanced enough to challenge the team without being completely brutal.

Are you sure you weren't looking at Villanova's schedule form DRK's post?

I think this is mainly garbage. Avg NET ranking of our opponents is 226. For any chance of an at-large, you need to kick major a** AND have an opponent NET of under 175 and even that number is questionable.

This has got to be AI - overly positive about dogshit.

I added it to our spam list, if they are legit they’ll email me.

Their domain doesn’t actually exist so probably an ai.
