To be honest, I was more focused on the games I could work. And living in Rochester, the first two games on the schedule are actually easier for me to get to than the home games in Buffalo (although the weather should be a little better by the time they open their slate of true home games). Women's team plays at Pinnacle Sports Complex the day after the men do, so I'll need to work that one as well.

The ACC tournament will be April 24-26, hosted by the highest seeded team. It will be back to a 4-team format. That raises the possibility of ND scheduling a game the weekend of May 2-3, as it did during previous years between the ACC and NCAA tournaments.

I'd like to see one more game on that schedule, although it would have to be a mid-week game. Sometime between February 15 and February 23 looks like the best available time for that.
