It is better in February with 65 degree weather (at sea level, Phoenix) and oranges hanging from trees. The natives think it is incredibly cold and go around wearing parkas and gloves. But no, there will be no basketball for us in Arizona next February. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KU transfer and former AAC player of the year KJ Lawson is doing his grad year at Tulane. That and the hiring of proven college coach Ron Hunter should be enough to elevate them to double digit wins.

They are still being picked dead last in the AAC in this way too early poll. https://bustingbrackets.com/2019/04/16/aac-basketball-way-early-power-rankings-2019-2020-season/2/ Last year Central Ark at 297, NCC at 302 N. Al at 310 and SEMO at 320 made it very difficult to envision an At-Large bid. Good thing we won the A10 Tourney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierPal Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Carter Chapley There will also be (likely) three more games added to the #Billiken OOC schedule. All buy-games. An opener which could be an exhibition, one during finals week, and one between Christmas and New Years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me we need 4 more non-conference games plus one (or even two) exhibition games depending on whether we do the closed preseason scrimmage. We can schedule as many as 13 non-conference games and there are only 9 listed on the schedule so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bauman Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Looking back at last year, we had 8 non-conf home games; 9 conf home games and 2 exhib for a total of 19 gates. I assume that this is the number that they shoot for each year. I seem to recall that tournaments, like our game with BC and Tulane this year and Pitt and Fla St last year have some impact on number of games a team can schedule. Fla St was a one time game so it might not have had an impact on games we could play, kind of like Auburn this year. One thing that might impact our number of home gates is the K-ST game in KC. I don't think we had anything comparable last year. Confused? I know I am. Let's hope we can get this announced soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
