Taj79 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Maryland announced theirs on July 1 (includes game at the Barclays against Richmond). Do we have a traditional date or expectations as to when ours is announced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slu72 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Taj Mahal 79, is this in regards to the ACC v A10 tradeoff game for giving them the Barclay Center? Why would MD v Richmond be of concern? MD is now in the Big 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Last year, our nonconference schedule was released on August 22 and the A10 schedule was released on September 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taj79 Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 No 72 ..... no concerns/connections to ACC/A10/Barclays. Was just noting that the local D1 squad released their schedule and it includes an A10 opponent. And it was to note that no big boy will go anywhere near one of our places, it's always a neutral site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taj79 Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 "Men Who Speak Up?" About what? And say what? But that's a whole different conversation I guess .... This "tournament" apparently gets you two home games against two of the "middleweight" teams. Last year, the "middleweights" were Texas- San Antonio, Central Arkansas, Texas Southern and Howard. Two "buy" games at home for the four "heavyweights," and then two games at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Vegas. Apparently, the "heavyweight" team can lose one or both games at home and still go to Vegas. Last year's heavyweights were Clemson, Umass, Creighton and Rutgers with Creighton winning; two years ago they were Auburn, Okie State, Tulsa and Oregon State with Okie State and Ford winning. The four middleweights also engaged in their own tournament also in Vegas when the big boys played their deals in Vegas. Sounds very much like that Corpus Christi tournament a few years back where we lost to Texas A&M/CC but beat NC A&T on Miles Reynolds' career game before splitting two down in Corpus against Miss State and Bradley. So I'd expect bad RPI teams in those first two games which would be my guess. For what its worth, the last BPI for each of the four heavyweights was this: Valpo @ #42; BYU at #56; Alabama @ #84 and us at #214 out of 351 total. The climb is long and the mountain is rife with pitfalls ...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About advanced prostate cancer. Supporing the Movember Foundation. It'd be cool if Ford and his staff grew mustaches for the event. And the players, too.

Taj79 Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 Not familiar with this "speak up." Not knocking it but my first haphazard guess was Sexual Abuse and/or Assault. I'd prefer our guys grew muscles before they embarked on mustaches ...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bills07 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Alabama released their non-conference schedule today. They will play Valparaiso in the semifinals in Vegas on 11/21. As such, this means SLU will play BYU on 11/21 and then will play either Alabama or Valpo on 11/23. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills07 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Ball State (21-14, 10-8 MAC, CIT Quarterfinalist) and Coastal Carolina (21-12, 12-6 Big South, CIT Semifinalist) are 2 of the 4 teams who will be visitors in the Men Who Speak Up Main Event. SLU will play 2 opponents from this group of 4 at home in November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
