Recruit (1/7)

  1. Could be worse tonight. Illinois just lost at home to future Bills' opponent Winthrop.
  2. Campbell was previously posted as a joke by someone on here and was never truly speculated to be on the schedule. Coastal Carolina was only speculated as they are a part of the MGM Grand Main Event "visitor" teams, which include Ball State, Southern Utah, and Coppin State. Once Ball State and Southern Utah were confirmed to be assigned to come to Chaifetz, Coastal Carolina was removed from speculation. Only change other than the confirmation of Eastern Illinois, Chicago State, and Winthrop was the date change for SIUE, which was initially reported to be 12/10 by SIUE but was soon moved and updated on their schedule to 12/17.
  3. Rockhurst has released their 2016-2017 schedule and SLU is not on there. So unless it is an unlisted exhibition game for them, they will not be on the SLU schedule. However, I have noticed more D1 teams scheduling D2, D3, and NAIA or lower teams lately as part of their regular season schedules (i.e. not part of the allowed 2 exhibitions that you can play before the season). Even mid to larger conference teams have been doing this. Off the top of my head, I know Illinois is playing McKendree, Creighton is playing Truman State, SIU is playing Missouri Southern, Illinois State is playing Lindenwood, and Missouri State is playing Fontbonne. Teams that are the level of SIUE and SEMO have even been playing 2 of these games which count toward the overall record (but not toward RPI). I know everyone hates when SLU schedules a team below D1, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a team like one of these on the schedule based on these recent trends.
  4. Wednesday, 12/14 at Southern Illinois. Game will be streamed free on ESPN3 and the WatchESPN app.
  5. Saturday, 2/4 vs. North Carolina A&T at home. Strange nonconference game in the middle of the A-10 season.
  6. MGM Grand Main Event Preview: http://www.bloggingthebracket.com/2016/8/16/12361430/2016-men-who-speak-up-main-event-preview-history-alabama-byu-valpo-saint-louis
  7. Saturday, 12/10 vs. SIUE at home at 7 p.m.
  8. Monday, 11/14 vs. Southern Utah at home as part of the MGM Grand Main Event. Coastal Carolina can be removed from the front page as SLU opponents in this tournament will be Ball State, Southern Utah, BYU, and Alabama/Valpo. Tournament Link: http://mgm.bdglobalsports.com/
  9. Hey Steve,

    Thanks for updating the schedule on the main page.  Just wanted to add a couple quick edits for accuracy:

    11/21 is vs. BYU in Vegas

    11/29 is vs. Samford at home

    SIUC game is on the road this year

    I can't 100% confirm the Coastal Carolina game at home as part of the Vegas Tournament.  However, based on the tournament format it is very likely.

    Thanks!
