I don’t think it’s been mentioned here yet, but college basketball is moving to a 32 game schedule in 26-27.

Can you imagine an exhibition bringing in the highest attendance of the season for a school? Am willing to bet that this: a) has never happened, and b) will happen in October.
Just my luck, I will be away on a damn Greek Island cruise that my wife insisted on booking on the day of the game. I am most curious about what attendance will be. Obviously, all of us old timers are as happy as can be about the game. On the other hand, the rivalry ended over 40 years ago and the overall popularity of college basketball, especially at GW, has greatly declined over the years, making wonder how many without our history are excited about the prospect of a game

Some deductive reasoning...
Last year, GW opened at home against Mercyhurst. It was Mercyhurst's first ever division 1 game.
The year before, GW opened at home against Stonehill. It was Stonehill's first ever division 1 game.
In 2025-26, the University of New Haven makes the jump from D2 to D1.
Three in a row?

If the last two seasons are a guide, the OOC game probably will be a game against a Division 2 opponent.
