Michigan to face St. John's in 2023 Gavitt Games

This had already been reported a bit, but now Rothstein put out the matchups.

So already six high-major games: SJU (road), Oregon (road), B4A (neutral), and Florida (neutral).

Not having a single notable home game is definitely a bit deflating, but feels inevitable with the Jumpman event.

we are cannon fodder this year. pro wrestling jobbers

Over/Under 5 noncon losses feels right. That B4A field is pretty loaded.

Wasn’t really thinking about results. Just that the lack of marquee home games is tough for season ticket holders.

SJU and Oregon on the road is brutal. With the lane noncon home game and possible lackluster play the home crowds this year are going to be all time bad

Isn’t there a SEC/B1G thing starting this year? Maybe a home game there.

That has been rumored, yes. Could be a home game. Interesting is that the SEC/B12 thing was always during conference play.

OTOH, early season non conference home crowds have almost always been bad relative to expectations at Crisler.

The December Saturday marquee game always draws well but Gavitt/ACC games have usually had mediocre crowds.

Thinking about making a birthday trip to NYC for the game! Should be a fun one in the Garden!

Something that just feels right about college hoops at MSG in November.

I dont remember clearly, but wasn’t Michigan in the late game a lot? I went to them, but I hated 9 pm weekday starts. Unless it is a marquee matchup or Michigan is highly ranked, the 9 pm attendance usually isn’t great.

Yep, bigger brand schools are usually going to be in those more often than not.

Late games against teams that aren’t huge draws. Casual fans could barely tell you Seton Hall exists
