bauman Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 1 minute ago, Pistol said: Rhody and St. Joe's will be tough road games, too, and arguably tougher than VCU. We should be able to handle the rest, even with Duquesne's new roster, but you can never overlook a conference road game. The non-conference schedule is really solid. I like it. Pistol, I agree about @SJU, not so much about URI, but i excluded them from my comment-I was only referring to the teams we only play once in conference. I guess I could have been clearer about that.

Kentucky, Buffalo twice, Murray St., an improved UMass, us and either Neveda or Tulsa. Much better than what they had last season. You would think that would help their NET and in return help ours slightly. They're probably going to be picked, what, second in the MVC heading into this season? Behind Loyola?

DeSmetBilliken Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Disappointed that SIU is during the week and not on a Saturday. For all the Methdale jokes, I spent a little under 3 years down there and was looking forward to possibly going down there to check out a few spots I like, with a Billikens game mixed in to the trip. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it's calling them #3 in the MVC this season, although I'm not sure who other than Loyola is above them. They return all five starters and bring in the younger Beane brother, Darius, and his cousin Jimmy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember the timeline correctly, he left SLU during the spring semester. The sitting out time doesn’t carry over from school to school. I had seen that some players were getting their redshirt years waived by the NCAA, but I’d be surprised if someone transferring for the reason Graves did would get a waiver.

I hate to repeat myself and I know there might be some opposition to playing two MVC teams (although we used to with SWMSt and SIU), but I would like to see Bradley on our schedule every year, maybe part of a 2 for 1 rotation. They have many alums in the area and would travel nicely to help with our home attendance, plus a trip to Peoria every third year would be fine with me. Better them than NC Central or Appl St. JMM28 and QUAILMAN like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When (if) he gets back on the court, he will have sat out 2 1/2 years. I hope he at least get to travel to St. Louis and watch a game from inside the 'Fetz.

Better them than NC Central or Appl St. Agree 100%. I have no issues playing Valley teams. Would LOVE to have Loyola on a H and H, but it isn't going to happen in the near future. NC Central, Appl State, Troy, Cent Ark., N Alabama are all yawners. The five or six local alums from these schools that attend these games won't raise a ruckus.

I haven't been there in years but I had a lot of friends who went to school there. I'd go down for a weekend and have a blast. Lots of bars, late night street vendors, good looking college gals what's not to like? Id probably not enjoy it as much now but for a college roadtrip it was a great destination.
