IC men's basketball wears gray jerseys at home and they look pretty good - this post coming from someone who usually loathes non-school color uniforms.

Full schedules are up for Ithaca and Rochester, I guess the rest are looking to finalize dance cards.

Looking at IC, are they going to drop Brockport, SJF or Alfred next year?  Or is St. Vincent a 1 year game?

Ithaca vs Hobart during week 10, very cool to have this game at the end of the season.  I am sure this date will be highlighted by both coaching staffs.

interesting - neither school has the 2018 schedule up on their sites, but I trust Pat.

Last time Statesmen didn't play UofR in Week 11 goes back to 2004. Curious to see how it plays out. For now, I know this:

Wk 1 @ Brockport
Wk 2 vs. SUNY-Mo (pretty sure it's at Hobart)
Wk 3 @ Shenandoah
Wk 4 @ Endicott
Wk 5 vs TBD (Homecoming)
Wk 6
Wk 7 vs. UofR
Wk 8
Wk 9
Wk 10 vs. IC
Wk 11

Means Union, RPI and SLU dates are still up in the air. Guessing bye week is Wk 8 or 9 still.

ITH,
The only game that Hobart has in their official web site is SLU on 11/10/2018.  Is this just a glitch, or do you think they are travelling to SLU  for the season finale (that would be a cold one up in Canton in late November).

I am only seeing the 2017 sked - no other dates have been listed, but it wouldn't surprise me if SLU game is last one, they have played them in Wk 10 since 2012.

Nice find!

Pat just tweeted out that RPI will play Allegheny which is a new and interesting match-up, scheduled for Week 1.

[Oline89]

RPI heading to Allegheny and Ithaca to St VIncent in Week !.  The Liberty League is invading Western PA!  Maybe Hobart could pick up a game vs Washington and Jefferson

[ITH radio]

I had never heard of St. Vincent until today, apparently a PAC school. I liked the Allegheny game for RPI until I saw the Gators recent records. Both of these should be easy Ws for the LL.

It's looking like Union and RPI will be playing Hobart in October. Hopefully the Wk 5 / Homecoming game is a good one. 11/3 vs. IC could be the de facto LL title game, if the Statesmen can improve from last year.

IF.......improving is not an option

The reason why I spotlighted Allegheny-RPI is Allegheny is bouncing back after a few down years. B.J. Hammer, who was an assistant coach at Wabash before taking the job in 2016, has the program on the right track. I don't think that will be an easy win for RPI.

Isn't St Vincent where the Steelers train ?

You are correct! For about 50 years.
