2019-2020 GT Hoops Schedule

[dtm1997]

Actually ran into Bonner on South College St today after our game. Nice guy. Doesn't mean I like him any more as an announcer, but seems like a guy who would have great stories if you sat at a bar with him.

FWIW, FSU was checking into hotel as I got there. Saw Charlton and thought about kidnapping him and bringing him back home.

We'd have to pay him $500K plus whatever goes in the bags.

I actually like Bilas even though hes a dookie.

I do too. I think he does a great job being unbiased in games.

Bonner, Cory Alexander and Chris Spitola should all join Len Elmore in the Never To Be Heard Again club

I don't mind Alexander. Idk Spitola but Bonner is awful.

 

[Peacone36]

Alexander isn’t bad.
I like Dan Dakich, he’s one of my favorites.
I like Bilas more on as a Cc than a podcast guy. The last two podcasts I’ve heard him on he’s come off as a real *****.
I also like Jordan Cornette and LaPhonso Ellis.

GT will play at NCST on Nov 5. One of the opening ACC basketball games on the ACC Network.

So here is what our schedule looks like so far for next season,

ACC
Home and Away - NC ST (@ Nov 5), Clemson, ND, L'ville, Syracuse, Pitt
Home - Duke, Miami, VT, UVA
Away - UNC, FSU, Wake, BC

OOC
UGA - @stegman Nov 20th
Ark - home Nov 25th

GT is also playing in the Diamond Head Classic in Honolulu Dec 22, 23, 25
other teams are Ball St, Boise St, Hawaii, Houston, Portland, UTEP, Washington

So that should leave 5 games to schedule.

Just wanted to include Red's work in the schedule thread.

I need to figure out an away game to target.

Anyone else thinking about a December trip to Hawaii? I'm checking flights and thinking that might be a damn nice road trip

Are we playing a '4th' game against one of the teams in the Hawaii tournament (rules allow for that - usually a team in the other 'half' of bracket)?
ACC-Big 10 Challenge - Assume GT is playing in it this year - and likely a home game given road game this past season - I know pairings get posted in month or two ... Any news?

Expanded ACC schedule leaves room for about 5 more home games against. Playing conference games very early in season can give teams with more players returning an advantage early in the season.
Downside to the expanded ACC schedule is it limits chances to play stronger teams out of conference.

 

[Peacone36]

Are we all done with Tennessee?

 

[RamblinRed]

I believe last season was the last of the GT-TN contract.
And we should have a ACC-Big 10 game which should be a home game.
That would leave 4 more to schedule.

Wait, there are roads we can take to Hawaii instead of flying?!! I'm in....

Out of curiosity would Usher and/or Parham be able to play? This isn't regular season, even though we haven't heard on their waivers, and probably won't until the season begins. Also at least Usher is in school, and Parham may be this summer.

GT hoops reports in the summer, so everyone is in school by June at the latest, although I think most are back this week.

Should have everyone, including Usher & Parham, available for the Spain tour as a result.

I would expect both to receive waivers as both are coming home. It SHOULD be a formality
