Today the Big East announced the home and road opponents for the upcoming 2012-13 college basketball season. As in the past, the schedule calls for each team to play some teams more than once. The change to that for this season is that instead of three as it has been in the past few seasons, it will be four mirror opponents to make up the difference when West Virginia departed for the Big 12.
Let's get to a couple of notes on the overall slate of games from the Big East and then we'll get to Marquette's opponents after the jump!
Each BIG EAST team will have either 9 or 10 games against 2012 NCAA tournament teams as part of its 18-game league schedule.
