JMM28 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Looks like Oral Roberts and Bowling Green are the two guarantee games which is probably the best case scenario. SLU Men's Basketball @SaintLouisMBB13m SLU will play Oral Roberts (11/21) and Bowling Green (11/23) at Chaifetz; Wisconsin (11/26) in Mexico in Cancun Challenge. 11/27 vs. ODU/WVU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wichita St could have a better RPI as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbtds Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Yeah, the next couple seasons are shaping up to be very friendly for road trips. I'll be able to make all of them except Cancun, even if they're on weeknights. Times from Cincy are favorable: 4 hours to Valpo, SIUE is a 5.5-hour trip back to St. Louis, <5 hours to Carbondale, 4 hours to Nashville, <3 hours to Terre Haute. Even more favorable from STL, especially Edwardsville. We'd better pack that place. 5 hours to Valpo, I've driven it my whole life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 My guess is that West Virginia will beat Old Dominion, who just lost a key player for the year: http://deadspin.com/8-minutes-in-a-scrimmage-count-as-an-entire-season-of-n-513435468 - which is ridiculous. So let's hope we beat Wisconsin and get two good games down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westy03 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Interesting to note that SLU plays 3 teams that have made it to the final 4 in the past 4 years. Wichita State, VCU, and West Virginia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUBillsFan Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Updating Pistol's list for the SEMO game and Timmermann's insinuation that both Vandy and SIUE would be a road games (although 4 seems like an awful lot of non-conference road games): 2013-2014 Schedule: 11/9 vs. SEMO - 216 11/21 vs. Oral Roberts - 151 (Cancun Challenge, home sites) 11/23 vs. Bowling Green - 274 (Cancun Challenge, home sites) 11/26 @ Wisconsin - 32 (Cancun Challenge, Cancun, Mexico) 11/27 @ West Virginia - 146 or Old Dominion - 318 (Cancun Challenge, Cancun, Mexico) 12/1 vs. Wichita State - 37 12/18 vs. Indiana State - 74 Dates TBD: @ Valpo - 58 @ SIUC - 192 @ SIUE - 304 @ Vanderbilt - 120 2+ more buy games at home A10 home games: Fordham, GW, Richmond, St. Bonnie, Dayton, Duquesne, George Mason, and VCU A10 road games: LaSalle, St. Joe's, UMass, Rhode Island, Dayton, Duquesne, George Mason, and VCU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Love the addition of SEMO as a buy game. I've always wanted our buy games to be the more regional opponents - UMKC, SEMO, etc. Alums in the area means more tickets sold. More local interest than Savannah State or USC-Upstate or whatever other weird buy games are out there. Also, that should be the first regular season game of the year, based on last year's dates.

JMM28 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Yale is coming to town. A very interesting buy game against a "name" opponent. Game is on January 4th per Ben. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUBillsFan Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 A "name" which causes RPI to plummet. Actually Yale was 198 in RPI last year according to RPIForecast.com. Not great, but certainly not an RPI killer like some of the 300+ RPI school we have played in the past. They return 4 of 5 starters as well so there shouldn't be a huge drop off. Further everyone has actually heard of Yale (even if it is for academics rather than athletics), so I would expect better attendance than a game against North Texas or Tennessee Martin.

ACE Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 A "name" which causes RPI to plummet. Yale had a better RPI than three A-10 teams last year - Rhode Island, Duquesne and Fordham. Also, better than last year's opponent Loyola. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Box and Won Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Again from the twitter feed of Ben - Vandy is a road game on December 30th. I remember the Bills playing at Vandy on New Year's Eve in 96. It wasn't pretty. Then again, that team was a disaster. Let's hope for better results this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
