it just seems odd that basketball starts in 3 1/2 months and we don't have the full schedule vs baseball which doesn't start till almost march 7 months away has everything out

There is a lot more logistics to be worked out for men's hoops. CBS/ESPN pay a hell of a lot more money for hoops than baseball, and they try to maximize ratings and exposure
This is the same reason they don't have kickoff times until 12 days before football games.

That's beacuse the basketball schedule is more heavily reliant on what TV wants because every game is on TV. The only changes TV makes to baseball is whether to have a series start on Thursday instead of Friday.
