Compton Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Valpo seems like a hlluva buy game. Wouldn't have really minded a home & home with them. A 2-for-1 home and home, kind of like the deal we cut with Auburn, would have been good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgeldmacher Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 That may have ended up becoming the first Auburn game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billikenbooster Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I guess that replaces Rockhurst as our ‘easier’ opponent during finals week. i personally would rather play no one that week, have the players concentrate on their tests, then get back to bball almaman and MusicCityBilliken like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 So that gives us 19 home games, including one exhibition and one lower-division team. I normally count on getting 18 home dates, with 2 exhibitions or 1 exhibition and 1 lower-division, so this is good. Bethune-Cookman is the only truly bad buy game in there (300+ NET ranking, mid-level MEAC team, one of the worst conferences). The others will all be competitive in their conferences, at least, even if a couple end up 200+ in the year-end rankings. Again, very good non-conference schedule and a great value for season ticket holders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboy Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 -I just looked at a few other A10 teams and none have the conference schedule posted so I am guessing the league is the hold up on an official full schedule announcement -now, if it is complete, the ADept could release the non-con and later the entire schedule, get notice two times instead of one -I think it has been mentioned here but saw it on their site, SVU is in Maui Thanksgiving event -Davidson is in Maui event in 2020 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 SVU fans have probably already lined up 3-4 charter flights to Hawaii. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Broken record post warning. St Joe's A10 rep in Charleston Classic (they always have an A10 team except us) and Mo State's there too. Always a good field. This year Florida, Miami, X, Penn St to name the bigs. Can't figure out why we never get asked. In fact, I don't think we've played in a good pre season tournament since Anaheim. Wonder why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I know, new coach, new players, but it still is Tulane. They are picked last in the AAC in two pre-season polls I have seen. If they can reach NET of 200 this season, then it won't be a bad game. That's a big jump for Tulane. Last season we played four OOC teams with 298 or higher NET's.

I haven't looked at Maryville's schedule, but it probably will be an exhibition for Maryville. (I hate those arrangements, where it's an exhibition for the Div. 2 school and a regular-season game that counts for the Div. 1 school!) If it's not a late exhibition for SLU, then I presume they're working on a secret scrimmage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you're still figuring out how to play with your new teammates, even a buy game can be a tough game. We're going to look fugly the first month of the season. I hope the kool-aid contingent is ready for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 -if CFord thinks the Maryville game is good for the team, then so be it, perhaps he thinks the guys need to blow off some steam during finals or doesn't want the break leading to KSt game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheChosenOne Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I know last season didn't turn out being a great schedule (126th in Pomeroy), but heading into the season and this season I have liked our non conference schedules on paper. So prior to knowing how it will play out, I am a fan of the schedule. I did a quick search and it looks like our scheduling has ranked fairly comparably over the past handful of seasons, but it would be interesting to know where they ranked prior to conference play as I assume last season's schedule wasn't helped much by conference play. 2018-19 - 126th, 2017-18 - 113th, 2016-17 - 122nd, 2015-16 - 107th, 2014-15 - 118th, 2013-14 - 85th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The average was 169. Then I looked at the 18/19 NET and used them for this season's schedule (yeah, I know....) The average is 159, but that excludes any NET for Maryville. If I arbitrarily enter 300 for their NET, then the average is 170. Starting out of the box, this season's OOC may be similar to last season's. Last season we had three Quad 1 OOC games. It looks like we may have three again this season. TheChosenOne likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
