The annual ordeal of tedious data entry is complete and I'm happy to report that color coded 2012-13 electronic calendars for each of the "Carril Cradle" teams are available after the jump! You can download any or all of the following to sync with your computer/PDA.
Each basketball schedule will be updated whenever a tip time is adjusted or new TV information is unveiled. If past performance is any indication, I expect multiple revisions between now and November 9. These links will work best with iCal but are importable into Google Calendar.
If you notice any errors with games/dates/times/locations, please let me know.
