Penn basketball schedule: A sneak peak

Penn hasn't officially released its 2012-13 men's basketball schedule yet, but from compiling the schedules that other schools have released, we can figure it out almost in its entirety.

Of course, we do know — officially — that Penn will be participating in the NIT Season Tip-Off in Charlottesville, Va., from November 12-13 (see post), but some other gems on its schedule include Drexel at the Palestra, Penn State on the road and Butler at the historic Hinkle Fieldhouse, which opened in 1928, one year after the Palestra.

Here's a look at what we can infer on the team's non-Ivy schedule so far:

Nov. 9: vs. UMBC Nov. 12: vs. Delaware (NIT Season Tip-Off) Nov. 13: vs. Fairfield/Virginia (NIT Season Tip-Off) Nov. 17: vs. Drexel Nov. 28: vs. Binghamton Dec. 1: at Penn State Dec. 8: vs. Villanova* Dec. 21: vs. Delaware Dec. 29: at Wagner Jan. 2: at Butler Jan. 5: at La Salle* Jan. 8: vs. Lafayette Jan. 12: at Princeton** Jan. 17: at NJIT Jan. 19: vs. St. Joe's* Jan. 23: at Temple*
