Looks like they are setting up ISU @ KU as a potential College Gameday game.

 

[tim_redd]

One big Monday appearance...

 

[srjclone]

Lots of ESPN2..

 

[jsb]

One ******* Big Monday game? That's crap.

 

[jsb]

We still do have Monte for gods sake.

Who is getting all the big Monday games.

 

[cyclonedave25]

Only 1 Big Monday game?? Those bastards.
I'd like to see a list of all the Big Monday games.

One big Monday appearance...

A little surprised, but Georges was the face/name that everyone knew.

 

[huntt26]

No Georges, No Fred, no ESPN love. Sad.

 

[iacyguy]

Oklahoma state must be so sick of playing us on senior night.

 

[inCyteful]

Should be a lot on the line when we visit Morgantown at end of the year.

 

[awd4cy]

The number of Big Monday games is based off our predicted Big 12 finish. Last season did no favors. Neither does our frontcourt situation going into this season.

 

[cyIclSoneU]

The Big Monday matchups (not the early ESPNU games on Monday) are:

KU @ ISU
OU @ UT
OSU @ OU
KU @ KSU
WVU @ KU
UT @ WVU
OU @ KU


Number of games (number of home games):
KU: 4 (2)
OU: 3 (1)
UT: 2 (1)
WVU: 2 (1)
ISU: 1 (1)
KSU: 1 (1)
OSU: 1 (0)

No Georges, No Fred, no ESPN love. Sad.

Makes sense because they literally have no more informational tid-bits on us that they can use in the game, other than Monte's Assist to Turnover ratio.

 

[cyclonedave25]

Texas and WVU both get 2?
I honestly have no clue, how good are those teams supposed to be this season?

 

[MartyMcCy]

I see 2 Monday games on the list. Is the early game technically not a Big Monday game?

Jan 16 8PM vs KU
Feb 20 6PM @ TTU

 

[coolerifyoudid]

Not a bad schedule overall. There aren't any back-to-back games that look overly scary to me. I'd rather not end the season at WVU, but I feel confident that we'll have more depth to endure those games a little better this year.

I'm not certain how good OU and UT will be, but the toughest stretch of games looks to be:

West Virginia - Tuesday, Jan. 31 (8:00pn, ESPN2)
@ Kansas - Saturday, Feb. 4
@ Texas - Tuesday, Feb. 7 (8:00pm, ESPN2)
Oklahoma - Saturday, Feb. 11 (5:00pm, ESPN2)

That's a good point. TedFlintKansas will have some hard brainstorming to do in order to make a Cyclone bingo card!

"Big Monday" is the two games on ESPN, typically an ACC game at 7/6c and a Big 12 at 9/8c. The ISU-TTU game will be on ESPNU and likely going up against the Big Monday ACC game on ESPN.

 

[Cyclonepride]

I like how it lines up. Not a horrendously tough start (not what I would call easy either), and there are some tough stretches in there, but overall it seems balanced.
