The Big East conference released the official 2011-2012 basketball schedule today complete with dates and times. We already knew Villanova's Big East home and away opponents, but this gives us a much clearer picture of the schedule. They also released the Big East basketball national TV schedule.

Initial thoughts - This looks much better than last year, where we'd play 3 cupcakes followed by 6 bruising games. This is more evened out. Oh, and 9 p.m. Saturday night start (probably at The Well) - me likey!
Villanova SID Mike Sherdian confirmed earlier today that Villanova is still finalizing the details of its non-conference schedule, but we have confirmed some opponents and dates.
Full schedule, as we know it today, after The Jump.
