Just some random thoughts re: our schedule.
I'm expecting our conference schedule to be front-loaded with home games this year. Knicks and Rangers only have a combined 8 home games in the month of January, plus we can't be at MSG the last week of the regular season, due to the Big 10 tournament (we obviously can play at CA that week). No inside info, just trying to figure things out.
Also, our two confirmed MSG dates (12/17 vs. Iona, 2/3 vs. Duke), does not feature a subsequent Knicks or Rangers game on those dates, so the possibility of getting a not-too-early start time is there (TV will make the final decisions, obviously).
