You would have thought that with the addition of Connecticut to the Big East that somehow Marquette would get to avoid the Rhode Island/Nebraska road trip now. Nope. Not happening. Heck, we aren’t even getting the 20 game full round robin schedule that you think you would get with an 11 team conference, so of course Marquette has to go through The Worst Road Trip In The Big East yet again.
At least MU gets the good version of it here. As you go from Rhode Island to Nebraska, you gain an hour of time from the time zone change, so there’s an extra hour of rest in there for the Golden Eagles.
