They're in Seattle next month and at Cal the week of Christmas. I might get to see a few 'away' games this year.

The downside: playing High Point. It would be nice to see them play UW.

personally, i am most excited about the matchup with gonzaga. that should become an annual game, in my opinion. a few years ago i went to an alumni event in orange county where giacolletti spoke to the fan base there. i cornered him and asked him about the possibility of playing gonzaga. he responded that he wouldn't do it b/c mark few was his best friend (he's now an assistant coach there) and he wouldn't play the 'zags b/c when he was at eastern washington, the games against the 'zags were a strain on their friendship. pathetic!

anyway - i like that boylen says he'll play anybody and wants a difficult schedule. hopefully he comes through. nothing was more exciting than back to backs in the majerus years with wake forest, alabama, texas, and the likes. majerus needed to obviously schedule more of those caliber games, though.

That's horrible.

I'm with you on the scheduling. I remember watching Duncan battle KHV (on new year’s eve?) in SLC back in the day. Here's to a better OOC schedule!
