Might take a little while with the season being pushed back a couple of weeks expect to see quit a few tournaments this year.
Probably was delayed due to things being "up in the air" for next season. Now that the NCAA has announced that basketball seasons can start 11/25 (https://www.ncaa.com/news/basketball-me ... iving-week), I'd imagine that the conference schedule should be out fairly soon and that schools will be working on cancelling or rescheduling the few games that were previously scheduled to happen before that date.Leathernecks1092 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 17, 2020 10:07 am When does everyone expect to start seeing scheduling done for up the upcoming Men's and Women's basketball season?

The men have 2 games that fall in that range: 11/10 at Cincinnati and 11/17 against a Horizon League team. I know that in the contract for the Cincinnati game, there is language dealing with the epidemic/pandemic, so it might just be cancelled. Horizon League "challenge" might be pushed back a year to start next year instead.
The women had a game scheduled against Purdue on 11/11 that will have to be cancelled or rescheduled. We were also supposed to play at Iowa, but I don't know that I ever heard an official date on that.
If there's no changes other than those few games cancelled, it looks like the men would start their season against Ball State on 12/2 and the women are supposed to participate in the Compass Challenge December 4-5.
