slufan13 Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 The Valpo and Indiana St series were never replaced right? I am still hoping we do something with those openings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills07 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 What is the connection with Louisville for this event? It just seems strange to only have Louisville and SLU as the main event with 3 cupcakes? I have no idea what the connection is between the teams outside of the former C-USA days and the recent NCAA round of 32 matchup. There are a few other events out there with identical formats (3 mid-majors, 2 higher-level teams) that also have some puzzling headliner neutral site games in my opinion. For example: Pittsburgh vs. Davidson in NYC in the Gotham Classic Ohio State vs. Memphis in Miami in the Naismith Hall of Fame Invitational Kentucky vs. South Florida in Miami in the Naismith Hall of Fame Classic (I suppose I understand this one since the USF head coach is Orlando Antigua who was formerly a UK assistant) There were also a few like this last year. SMU played in an event that gave them three home games against mid-majors and then a 4th game on Indiana's home floor. Didn't seem like a very attractive exempt event for a team that had top-25 potential last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwyjibo Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Hartford was bad last year and lost 6 seniors (including Jack Sikma's kid). They have 3 Aussies and the potential to be very bad. Columbia however is a decent team and expecting some tournament (possibly low level though) action. Rothstein on Columbia: 4. Columbia is the team to watch in the Ivy League next season Harvard and Yale will be the teams that people identify from the periphery, but the Lions have a legitimate chance to shake things up and reach the NCAA Tournament. Siyani Chambers (Harvard) and Justin Sears (Yale) are the two most well known players in the Ivy League from a national perspective, but Columbia guard Maodo Lo may be the one player in the conference who has a chance to play at the next level. The 6-3 guard averaged 18.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 2.3 assists last season while shooting an impressive 43.1 percent from 3-point range. The presence of Lo along with off-guard Kyle Castlin (10.3 points in 14-15 as a freshman) and the return of 6-7 forward Alex Rosenberg (16.0 points in 13-14) --- who did not play last season due to injury --- should give Lions' coach Kyle Smith a chance to make a run at the field of 68. A former assistant at Saint Mary's, Smith led Columbia to an impressive 17-point win at Villanova in 2012 and also took Michigan State to the wire in East Lansing a year later. There's only one thing left for him to do with the Lions: win the Ivy League. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bills07 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 3 Games in Preseason Foreign Tour in the Bahamas (Aug. 7 - TBD) 2 Exhibition Games at Home (or 1 exhibition game at Home and 1 closed door scrimmage) Home vs. Columbia (Brooklyn Hoops Classic - Nov. 14-24) Home vs. Hartford (Brooklyn Hoops Classic - Nov. 14-24) Home vs. Opponent TBD (Brooklyn Hoops Classic - Nov. 14-24) Louisville in Brooklyn, NY (Brooklyn Hoops Classic - Nov. 27) Home vs. Wichita State (Dec. 5) @ Kansas State (Dec. 29) Southern Illinois (no date known yet - I believe season ticket holders have stated SLU has this game at home this year) @ SIUE (no date known yet) There will 5 more nonconference games (may include the following): @ Missouri State? Rockhurst? A-10 Home Games - George Washington, Davidson, Fordham, Richmond, St. Bonaventure, Duquesne, Dayton, VCU, George Mason A-10 Away Games - UMass, St. Joseph's, La Salle, Rhode Island, St. Bonaventure, Duquesne, Dayton, VCU, George Mason That is all I am aware of at this point unless anyone has any additional information.

wgstl Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 3 Games in Preseason Foreign Tour in the Bahamas (Aug. 7 - TBD) 2 Exhibition Games at Home (or 1 exhibition game at Home and 1 closed door scrimmage) So we get both of those? I thought it was one or the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills07 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Yes, SLU gets both the 3 games in the Bahamas in August, then the 2 exhibition games vs. D2/NAIA level opponents (or 1 exhibition vs. D2/NAIA and 1 closed door scrimmage vs. a D1 opponent) in October/November just before the start of the regular season the weekend of November 13th. NCAA rules allow programs to take a foreign tour once every four academic years. To give a reference point, the last foreign tour SLU took was during the 2011-2012 season to Canada where they played 5 games in August vs. Carleton, Windsor, etc. Then in November they had exhibition games at home vs. Cardinal Stritch (NAIA) and St. Ambrose (NAIA) before the Conklin Smash season took off.

kwyjibo Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 In case you were wondering who SLU was going to play in the Bahamas there have been a mix of teams in the past with "local" club teams that mix in a few "out of season" professionals (UNC lost to the Providence Storm last year), national teams and reserves from the Caribbean (Puerto Rico Reserves and Dominican National team there last year) as well as some European pro teams also training there (last year a French pro team played Kentucky there twice).

bills07 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I wonder if we're going to open against SIUC at home again this year? SIUC is hosting Air Force on opening night (Nov. 13) in the Missouri Valley - Mountain West Challenge, then hosts Florida A&M on Nov. 15, so SLU likely won't see them until after Thanksgiving. Especially considering there will need to be the three home games for the Brooklyn Hoops Classic during the Nov. 13-24 period before the trip to NYC.

Pistol Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 St. Joe's released the non-conference schedule today. I can't remember - is it customary for all A10 teams to do this at about the same time, or is it up to the individual programs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Individual programs I think - but generally most schools release in the same few weeks - but I do not think it is coordinated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 For some reason SLU is always one of the last programs to release their schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
