Would love to see out non conference schedule include some closer schools that travel. Makes for a gun atmosphere. I had a great time when went to SIUE. I usually make the truck to SIUC. And this year went to Memphis. I wish they had more games within 300 miles to go see. Every home buy game against a Central Arkansas or Mississippi Valley that could have been against a Lindenwood, SEMO, or SIUE is just needlessly leaving a few $$ on the table. And since the team is usually out of sorts in their first true road game of the season, it couldn’t hurt for it to be against a weaker opponent where at least SLU fans can make the trip.

E. Illinois has a NET of 355. There are 358 schools. If we are going to put an anchor on our OOC, let it be a local school. BTW, Central Arkansas is 321. Give me Lindy and SIUE (who btw is 290).

mrjoelabs Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 As a Lindendwood Alum, unsure how to feel about this. I guess its nice. D1 basketball right down the street from the troll abode in Dardenne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compton Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I'd like to see Missouri S&T get an OVC invite. It'd fit right in with all the other non-flagship state schools, with immediate rivalry candidates in SEMO and Tennesee Tech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Box and Won Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Regardless of Lindenwood's academics, they've shown a great deal of ambition when it comes to athletics. After all, they were NAIA up until 2010. They became competitive in D2 almost immediately are now jumping to D1 in what I would consider to be a relatively short amount of time. It will be interesting to see how quickly their programs become competitive in D1, but they have a good track record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said their old formula of giving everyone an athletic scholarship of some sort isnt going to work in D1 with defined number of scholarships they can award. should be interesting watching this play out.

thetorch Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Lindenwood is kind of a joke. While my greatest athletic achievements are 1a. Running a marathon at 36 & 1b. playing in a college basketball game for Mo Bap after I served as a manager for two seasons I was also scholarship college athlete. I was on the bowling team at Lindenwood for a season. I was suspended from the team twice for dressing up as characters from the Big Lebowski to compete in matches. Their basketball program has not been that great since entering D-2 and hasn't been great since Kramer and Brazzell were playing.

Old guy Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Lindenwood deserves a lot of respect for they have come up from being a small school close to closing its doorsto being a nice school which is moving ahead and improving. Not many schools succeed doing this. dennis_w and AGB91 like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taj79 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 @HoosierPal--- we did not play any suib 200 teams in road games this year. Wed went to Memphis and Boise. The other teo were in the Cancun Challenge. There isn't much you can do against conference foes. They are what they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both wins. The statement was "You can’t play sub 200 net road games". We did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
