Maybe he just means the non-conference schedule. Full schedule has been late August/early September, typically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACE Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Usually a solid program, but had an RPI of 229 last year. Hopefully better this year. Of note, they beat a good Illinois State squad in the opening game of last season - may have been the game that knocked ISU off the bubble - those November and December games matter too.

Good luck, do not worry about losing weight early on, it is the stress of grad school, not the ramens, you will survive and do fine. Try adding other stuff to the noodles for a change in taste.

Scoop Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Talked to a friend of mine who is a big booster for Murray. He said Murray will be much better this year. Will be a tough game. Great home game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. That is a long way to go for just one game. I'm glad to see a second game before we go to NYC, even if it is Rockhurst. At least it will give the team one more chance to jell before kicking some Va Tech butt. I know someone will start a separate Record thread, but I see 11-2 OOC, and yes that includes Rockhurst!

bauman Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 6 minutes ago, 73Billiken said: Extremely disappointed that we continue to play Rockhurst.....no other Jesuit schools to play? NBD. It gives us another early game to help develop as a team before going to NYC. It was probably difficult trying to get a soft game that early in November where TF could play a number of combinations to see what is working best before Va Tech. The only problem I see is that we will once again spend pages and pages having to discuss if our record (and Billiken.com record predictions) include the Rockhurst game I will amend my earlier 11-2 OOC record prediction with a 12-6 A-10 record which means we will go into the A 10 Conference Tournament with a 23-8 record. And yes that includes Rockhurst, so for you D1 only purists that would be 22-8. Just a bit better than last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
