I've added that to the schedule as well as a rumored home game on November 7th against Robert Morris University (Chicago). It's based off a semi-random tweet from a RMU BBall player. Could be an exhibition game. If I see confirmation of it, I'll remove the "rumored" bit.

I sure hope that the few more games to be added to the schedule, will have at least one that is driveable for us on the eastern side of the states. (Im in Virginia)...Really would like to see the team in person this year somewhere over this way but right now the team comes about as far east as Indy...about a 7 hr drive..

They typically announce it between the middle and end of September

From a pure business perspective, it makes sense to post scheduled games once the contract(s) are signed and team travel arrangements are finalized. That way, any fans also interested in making the trips can make their plans well in advance to get the best air fares, etc.

But since when do college athletic departments look out for the best interest of their traveling fan base?
Embrace the pace of the race.
