Big East announces schedule

    by Daily News staff
    Published 

The Big East has announced the home and away matchups for the 2011-12 season.

The conference schedule will again include 144 regular-season games. Each of the Big East's 16 teams plays 18 conference games.

Each team will play 12 opponents once and three opponents twice.

Villanova will have home and away games with Cincinnati, Marquette and South Florida.

They also will host UConn, DePaul, Notre Dame, Providence, Seton Hall and Syracuse. The Wildcats will travel to play Georgetown, Louisville, Pitt, Rutgers, St. John's and West Virginia.

Dates and times will be announced later. The league said all games will again be televised, either by CBS Sports, the ESPN family of networks or ESPN Regional Television.

The decisions regarding repeat opponents are based on natural interest, geography, rivalries, television contractual obligations and competitive balance. Competitive balance is the key, although clearly some times made out better than others. The league changed the voting procedure this year to determine the matchups.
