Perhaps somebody smarter that I can confirm it. https://247sports.com/college/kansas-state/Article/Kansas-State-basketball-2019-schedule-Saint-Louis-Bruce-Weber-Travis-Ford--132656773/ I think this game is actually part of a new home and home series. It is being billed as the Kansas City Wildcat Showcase. Previous versions of this event against Vandy, T A&M and Washington St. were part of a home and home series with KSU shifting their home game to the Sprint Center.

JMM28 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Boston College...meh. I guess if you want an ACC school on the schedule, great. I'd rather have a better program on the schedule personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anytime you can get a P5 school to agree to a home/home, you take it, because those are increasingly harder to come by. Today, BC just got a nice commitment from Thornton- the USC grad transfer.

This. It's near impossible to get P6 home and homes with the 20 game conference schedules, we pretty much have to take whatever we can get.

Pistol Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 BC was the third opponent (including an exhibition game with UMSL) in Chaifetz Arena. It was a 53-50 grinder but a fun game nonetheless. That was the back end of a home-and-home from the prior season; BC beat us at their place 61-39 in late 2007. Woof. We played again on a neutral court in 2011, the first of three wins in that Anaheim Classic that we won (Villanova and Oklahoma were the next two wins to seal the title). Somehow those are the only three times we've ever played BC. Games against teams in the bottom halves of their power conferences are going to be good for us this coming season. Good for SOS without being beaten up. K-State and Seton Hall are both going to be very competitive in their conferences.

HoosierPal Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Last season BC finished 11th in the ACC, ahead of last place Pitt. So at least we are moving up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3star_recruit Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 We'll have at least five players in the rotation who've never played D-1 ball. BC has a similar talent level but is more experienced. This series is a good fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Always good to get another Jebbie school on the schedule. Why is anyone questioning this? Where would we finish this year in the ACC? SLU_Lax likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Sorry, I looked for this thread but couldn't find it. So, I guess the only non con games locked in at this point are KSU, The Hall, BC, and SIU. Meanwhile other schools are announcing their schedules every day. Can't fathom why it's so difficult for us to get games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if that's just how they make it look in the order; previous games have been at Madison Square Garden, which isn't Boston College's home court.

That game will mark just the fourth time that the Eagles and Billikens will meet, and the first time since a 62-51 Saint Louis win on Nov. 24, 2011 in Anaheim, Calif. The Billikens lead the series, 2-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No whining about these games. BC is ACC and we should take all of those we can get. Belmont always a solid mid major program and a frequent dance invitee. Did they lose their coach this year? I think East Washington has had some decent years recently but really not sure. Our kids are young and this will be a good test for them.

wgstl Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I’m starting to like the OCC schedule. K state will be tough, but Belmont, seton hall, and BC are quality names that are winnable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
