'13-'14 Schedule

Yes, it is always smart to schedule as tough as of teams as possible so you are out of tourney contention by Christmas. But he, we played tough teams!

I think scheduling tough is smart. Sets the tone for the whole program that the coach expects the team now and in the future to be able to compete with anyone. Future recruits need to know they are going to a program that expects to win. Scheduling weak ooc looks weak sets the tone for a weak program.

What a load of crap. Unless you are a blue blood, you should schedule as easy of a schedule as possible that still allows for an at-large bid. Yes, that requires mvc teams to challenge themselves most years but it doesn't require running the gauntlet if you are smart about it.

Iowa dropped the series because of flexibility. UNI chose to tie themselves to drake and the round robin scheduling.

Re: '13-'14 Schedule

I'd like to see us push hard for the CBE Classic. Two games at home and two games in KC.

Apparently the last team we were supposed to play for the CBE backed out of the event, and now they're struggling to find the required 4th D1 game they're required to provide via our contract. This entire CBE event is becoming a mess, considering we had better tournament offers after the Final Four that we turned down to fulfill our end.

Saw this and thought of you post BC.

Admittedly, I'm surprised about this. Not good for Wichita. It's best to be hooked up with events that are quality and have a good reputation for filling up. KC would be an easy drive for some quality games.

Here is what I think...9yr seems to know every team, recruit, middle man kind of creepy guy, AAU coach in high school/college basketball. Maybe he can hook us up?

Conf schedule out. We end the year on the road at Ind St. Incredibly lame.

Re: '13-'14 Schedule

I can honestly see us going 13-5 or 14-4 against that schedule. I knew the league was down, but didn't realize that is was this far down. I think that us and Wichita are going to run and hide from the rest of the league (I am not an Indiana State believer)...

Anything other than a 8-1 or 7-2 start is going to be a pretty big disappointment.

EDIT: The three TBA home games will all be ESPN games. I would be shocked if our game at Wichita isn't the ESPNU Sunday Night game. Our game at Indiana State will be at least the FSN WildCard game and might be the ESPN game.

'13-'14 Schedule

Thats too optimistic, IMO. I really like our players, but we in all likelihood are going to be starting 2 freshman. The league may be significantly down, but I'd still be surprised if we won that many games. We haven't exactly been a model of consistency the last 3 years.

I think we could/should have a very good team this year, but I certainly wouldn't predict us as an NCAA team at this point. Now, in '14-15 we could have a really, really special team...

Re: '13-'14 Schedule

I'll be happy with a 9-3 record heading into conference play, but 8-4 is not unrealistic. Our very young team will be taking on four solid mid major programs and at least two BCS teams, all of which will be on the road sans VCU.

I hate our January MVC schedule. A ton of road games, including at WSU and at Evansville. We never win in Evansville and WSU is going to be nearly unbeatable at home. I was hoping these two games would be later in the conference schedule.

On the bright side, I can see us going undefeated in February and building a ton of momentum going into the MVC tournament.

IMO At Large Bid = 23-7 (14-4) + one win in St. Louis.

Re: '13-'14 Schedule

Tip Off time for the Big 4 (not a) Classic is 5:00 against Iowa State on Mediacom.

Iowa-Drake at 7:30.

I will once again not be attending or giving any money to this ridiculous concept.

All of the major conference title games are that day/night as well.

I wasn't totally opposed to the idea although I didn't like it. If this is the best the event organizers can do it's an absolute joke and the contract cannot be done soon enough.
