Yes. It looks like a mistake.I see what he must have seen. GoBonnies lists the opponent in the 3rd game of the tournament as "Charleston".
Nothing to see here, folks.

Did you hear that, ‘85, or are you just assuming The Pageant Mom is going to douche out as he typically does?I'm reporting Dan Hurley taking a massive dump on the UConn game contract.
Well, I think the UConn game should be good to go for 12/11 in Newark. The announcement is probably being held up because it is a triple or quadruple header, and all of the games probably aren't finalized yet. Schmidt himself, though, said at an SBU event that the game was on that date.Purely speculation. And I'm bored as shit.
Just to bump the current OOC:
Confirmed dates:
11/09- SIENA
11/18- vs. Boise State*
11/19- vs. Clemson/Temple*
11/21- vs. West Virginia/Ole Miss/Marquette/Elon*
11/27- NORTHERN IOWA
12/01- COPPIN STATE
12/04- BUFFALO
12/08- LOYOLA (MD)
12/11- vs. UConn (Prudential Center, Newark)
12/17- vs. Virginia Tech (Spectrum Center, Charlotte)
12/22- @ Northeastern
TBA- CANISIUS
TBA- ????
*Charleston Classic
As is, it looks like we need one more game. Preferably, we'd just buy another home game to fill in between our tough road trips. Plenty of NCAA at-large heft on that OOC. Plus, our A10 slate will be challenging.
Allegedly, the Niagara game isn't happening this season. They gave us the run around again, and SBU told them to kick rocks. Instead of Bona, NU is likely playing Albany at the Key Bank Arena. Play a likely Top 25 opponent in a big WNY showcase? Nah... play an America East team. Talk about a program (NU) that can't get out of its own way.
Middle Tennessee is off for the year, as SBUnfurled reported. They'll come to the RC in 2022-2023.
NU thinks it’s still 1965. They want a straight up home-and-home with SBU and UB, which probably isn’t realistic going forward. Additionally, they have insisted upon games at Gallagher and been dicks about dates, times, etc.Bill - what do you mean by "NU have us the run around again."
I know it'll never happen, but it would be great to see a high-quality game in Buffalo at Key Bank or even Blue Cross.
If things go off the tracks in South Carolina, drawing Boise, Temple and Elon would not be ideal for our SOS. I doubt that'll happen, but with that in mind what type of game do you think we schedule for our last game?
This is how I view our schedule:
NCAA-Caliber teams - Boise, UCONN, Va Tech, Northeastern, Northern Iowa, Buffalo (6)
NIT - Caliber - Clemson/Temple (1)
Top -150 teams - Siena (1)
Cupcake - Canisius, Coppin State, Loyola MD (3)
A neutral game against a top IVY would be great.
Booooo!Im told there will be no ROC game this season. Maybe that will change, but it doesn’t sound like it.
That's brutal. I guess a year away from the RC makes it more important to secure as many home games as possible, but man, they could get 8,000 in Rochester this year if we're playing well.NU thinks it’s still 1965.

If true, that sucks.Booooo!
Yea, the chance to market a top 25 team in Rochester should not be passed upIf true, that sucks.
Can we even get a top 25 team to Rochester, especially when we are expected to be good?Yea, the chance to market a top 25 team in Rochester should not be passed up
Only if they have Bonnies printed on their chests.Can we even get a top 25 team to Rochester, especially when we are expected to be good?
I meant us. But your point still stands. I think if we can sustain then we can be in position to attract those games again like Dayton and VCU. Hey, we might actually be able to get home and homes!Can we even get a top 25 team to Rochester, especially when we are expected to be good?
Ugh, reading comprehension skills totally failed me on that one.I meant us. But your point still stands. I think if we can sustain then we can be in position to attract those games again like Dayton and VCU. Hey, we might actually be able to get home and homes!
