Hoops Schedule Rumors

The list of known and rumored games for the 2009-2010 basketball schedule continues to grow as MemphisDog sniffs out the quality rumors. He's the star of "CSI: UGA Hoops Schedule."

Because of his prowling, we have a few more games that fall into the quality rumors category. The current list is below.

Home:

Georgia Tech
New Orleans (confirmed) - Nov. 13
UNC-Asheville (confirmed) - Nov. 24
Jacksonville State (Fox Sports Blog)
Saint Louis (message board rumor)
San Diego (message board rumor)

Away (all confirmed):

Missouri
Virginia Tech
St. John's (Big East / SEC Challenge) - Dec. 9th
UAB (Same day as UK football game) - Nov. 21st

Neutral:

Illinois at Gwinnett Arena (confirmed)

That's directionally closer to what Harrick would put together when he was here. Certainly tougher than anything Felton, Jirsa or Durham put together. Don't sleep on Saint Louis or San Diego. SLU is coached by Rick Majerus, and San Diego beat Kentucky in Rupp Arena two years ago.

If those last three rumors hold up, that means there's only 2 more games out there. I've heard that part of the hold up in getting the hoops schedule out is the SEC. The new TV contracts that ESPN just signed with Fox Sports South and CSS on behalf of the SEC means that the b-ball schedule probably isn't as far along at the league office as you might expect.
