Patriot League to play conference only
11-09-20 09:29 PM - Post#316372
In response to hoopsfan
Patriot League is being divided into 3 regional mini-conferences to reduce travel and overnight stays. No team is to play non-conference or get on an airplane, but Army & Navy are exempt from those rules.
Games will be played on 8 weekends (Saturday and Sundays), starting 1/2/21 (Sat) and ending 2/21/21 (Sun).
There will be makeup dates on 2/27/21 and 2/28/21. There is the possibility of another makeup date on 3/6/21.
If the 3rd makeup date is not needed, then quarterfinals will be played that day.
The semis will be Wednesday 3/10/21 & the final will be Sunday 3/14/21.
Two tweets from CBS Sports' Matt Norlander stand out:

So you'll see Bucknell play Lehigh like four times, probably. This is the "weirdest" and most restrictive college hoops scheduling format I've seen from any conference yet -- hard to see how it'll be topped -- but at least there are games. Important to keep that in mind.

Going to be wild. I kind of love the Patriot League being on an island like this.
