2026-2027 Season Schedule Thread

[GMUgemini]

3 OOC games left
my guess
1 game around 11/9
1 game around 12/7
unsure where the last game gets fit in at, as the A-10 schedule will begin on 12/31 to 1/1

is there a student break beteem 11/14 and 11/21?

I doubt it. 11/11 is Veteran’s Day and Thanksgiving is 11/26 this year. Those would be the student breaks.

GMU could schedule 4 more OOC games (i.e., 14 OOC games plus 18 A-10 games) - https://www.cbssports.com/college-b...rease-to-32-game-season-beginning-in-2026-27/

"College basketball's regular season is expanding. The NCAA Division I Council approved on Wednesday an increase from 31 to 32 games, beginning with the 2026-27 season, sources told CBS Sports. The vote was a rubber-stamp move after the Division I Men's and Women's Basketball Oversight Committees voted in favor of the change back in late March."

Classes start soon and we still don’t have a fully released schedule.

They’ve got a few more lined up games than released to the public right now. Hopefully it’ll be out soon.

Looks like so far

6 buy games
2 neutral (mte)
2 home and home
1 2 for 1

So probably 1 more buy and a mystery game

if they are top 100 that means they are ahead of 250 other teams

Some one goes on the temu app and spins the spinner for a surprise game.

Well since we've already covered the bottom 1% of the net rankings between Coppin St, KC, Bryant, and Morgan St the mystery game must be a relatively decent game. Right...?

I wonder if we’ve ever considered trying to bribe P5s into playing us? If we are willing to pay Morgan 95k, why not try giving that to a P5 and say we aren’t even asking for a home game.

(This is not a serious proposal).

 

[GunstonsGhost]

I'm just kinda perplexed by the business model here. The Athletics dept beg for NIL money then give it away to other schools so they can come to Fairfax and take a lashing. Seems like a waste of resources.

My money is a non D1.

 

[mkaufman1]

Hoping it’s a surprise neutral game, but knowing my guess it’ll be a neutral game against a blind sister team.

Are we playing JMU this year?

 

[mkaufman1]

No we aren’t

 

[Portlandian]

I don't mind a little break from playing JMU.

 

[psyclone]

I don't mind a little break from playing JMU.

Actually, I would prefer to continue playing Madison on a regular basis. A rivalry worth keeping.

 

[Stoolguy]

They’re the ones that wanted the break lol

GMU vs Towson in Baltimore on Saturday December 19th 2026

Who else going to this game?

 

[mkaufman1]

There’s our neutral game I projected. I couldn’t say anything but knew it was coming.

Not thrilled because I feel like we should have gotten a better neutral game. But at this point what the hell do I know about scheduling and who knows what logistics went into taking this game. Not much benefit if we win, and not great if we lose since Towson is a projected 180 net (from Torvik).

While we have better home and homes with High Point and South Florida, we obviously still have significant trouble with anything in the neutral realm.
