2011-12 Schedule

I started a thread about the 2011-12 men's basketball schedule, and here's one for women's basketball. In the hopes that others will add on here.

As far as women's hoops, here's what I've got for non-conference games: Home vs. Tabor College (Nov. 26), and the Coyotes should get return home games from Northern Colorado and Cornell.

Also, a game against Northern Iowa. (Not sure if it'd be on the road). And not sure if the contract with Creighton goes past the one game.

Then, the first Summit League game is Nov. 30 at IPFW, then Dec. 2 at Oakland.

What else?

I believe they are playing at Creighton this year.

Good deal, thanks usdlaw.

Also wondering what king of Big 12 or Big Ten game USD has this season.

[usdlaw]

I don't think there is a women's game with a Big Ten or Big 12 team.

I believe some of the new scheduling rules are as follows:

Max of 29 games, unless you play in an exempt tournament (like Hawaii or one of the other ones, SDSU went somewhere warm a few years ago) then you can have up to 31

Summit League 18 conference games - 9 home 9 away
Summit League authorizes 2 non D1 games
You can have up to 2 exhibition games against non D1, but that counts toward the total of 29. Why would you do this? To get some home games if having trouble scheduling.

This year the travel partner is UMKC. Women play Saturday and Monday, Men play Thursday and Saturday. This is last year of doubleheaders in Summit. Next year travel partner is Omaha I think. Two games each week unless that is the week you play your travel partner.

I was told schedules will be released later this summer.

You're right, this year's Summit League travel partner for USD is Missouri-Kansas City, and next year is Nebraska-Omaha.

Thanks for the knowledge droppings!
