Villanova officially released their 2011-2012 men's basketball schedule this afternoon - and it looks a little familiar, unfortunately. A weak out-of-conference schedule is saved by a date with Missouri at Madison Square Garden as well as (hopefully) some legit competition at the 76 Classic in Anaheim, CA over Thanksgiving break.
We already knew Villanova's Big East 2011-2012 schedule (some TV announcements and times are through that link), but now we've got the full thing - complete with dates at The Well. And trust me, some of the games there will make you sick.
Someone is going to need to explain to me why we're playing Boston U. (sans Pat Chambers) at The Well, but we're taking Cincinnati (who will be very good) on campus.
