Holy Cross slate incudes 6 non-con home dates
With three starters back from last season's Patriot League championship team, Holy Cross once again will face a challenging schedule.

The Crusaders summer prospectus only lists tentative opponents, breaking them down by home and road games. Enterprising folks on the Cross Sports message board have mined the school's online calendar to come up with a list that includes dates.

Although a trip to Maryland is the only major conference foe that is set in stone, the Crusaders also could face UConn -- in Storrs -- if they get past UC-Davis in the first round of the 2K Sports College Hoops Classic. If somehow the Saders win two in Storrs, they would be off to Madison Square Garden for two more games, with Kentucky, Memphis and Oklahoma as possible opponents in that final four.

Also of note, home dates with always tough Dayton (at the DCU Center) and a BracketBusters return game against Hofstra in the Hart Center, and a trip to Philly for a game with Saint Joe's in a delayed rematch of their 2005 second round NIT matchup. The Crusaders will also play in this year's BracketBusters.

Other non-conference games include home dates with Boston U., Harvard, Ohio and Yale, and road dates at Fairfield, Hampton, Sacred Heart and Siena.
