2018-19 Basketball Schedule

Wasn't he on probation or something too? Regardless, the only way he misses any meaningful games if he's locked up.

I was going to suggest we start a pool on the first arrest for ILL ST this year , but alas, they beat me to it. (again)

Popped over to the ISUr board, the argument has shifted from "Did he do this?" to "Is fleeing the scene of a hit and run really that bad of an issue?" You do you, ISUr.

Media Day today also mentioned that we're trying to get 1 more home game added to the schedule. I'm assuming that 2nd week of December. Hopefully it's at least somebody half way respectable. Is there a list anywhere of team who can't released their schedule? I read there's less than 50 who haven't yet

Check out @TheD1Docket on Twitter . He's got them all. Only about 40 schools left to release. Pretty much us and some low majors left.

The top post on this thread is updates to what we know.

We'll host North Dakota on December 22nd.

One left to announce.

I'd imagine were down to finding a home game for either Dec 5th or 8th.

Down to about 20 DIs that haven't announced a schedule, including us.

The Valley released its ESPN games for the year and, not surprisingly, we did not get selected for anything outright. There is one occasios where we MIGHT be on ESPNU (home vs Evansville, so unlikely) and three where we are the Valley Game of the Week on ESPN3.

The 3 ESPN2 games for the Valley make sense-
Illinois State at Loyola on January 12th at 1:00
Loyola at Illinois State on February 2 at 9:00
Bradley at Illinois State on February 16 at 7:00

Schedule is complete. Added a game with Dubuque on Dec 8th.

This home schedule is bad, really, really bad but I don't know what else you can do.

SIDE NOTE--I have very serious concerns about our sports information staff right now. Every other school at the very least sends out a press release saying the schedule is complete. I've had to do most of this digging and searching on my own to find game dates and the unipanthers.com page was just updated today.

Also, its taking until Wednesday and Thursday most weeks until Football game notes are out and they are riddled with errors and outdated information. Its just simply not a professional look. They are the front line for making sure what we want out there is out there and frankly, its an embarrassing effort right now. The website is hardly ever updated, the game notes that have been produced late look like they were done by a middle schooler using Microsoft Word in 2004 and I've seen two volleyball broadcasts where we were referred to as 'Northern' the entire time. This is the SIDs job.

Overall it isn't a bad schedule. Just really poor home schedule and lack of any bigger names. One website I follow has our non-con SOS at #22 and that is not counting the 2 tourney games TBD.

The Penn game is really important. We need to be on the winner's side of that bracket.

Otherwise it seems worth pointing that Iowa has 7 home games against D1 opponents before we have a single one. College Basketball needs some sort of scheduling reform bad.

You are highlighting the end of a long train of events around that whole departments downward spiral. It just gets worse and worse...

The new SID's assistant was supposed to start this week and is a UNI grad. It's been a one-man show for several months now. This position is obviously very close to my heart so I'm really hoping things improve.

As we've learned time and time again, it's only an issue when it starts effecting big money programs. It's not, so it isn't.

Doesn’t mean it’s not broken.

Might have to swallow some pride and play at Iowa and Iowa state. At least they would be close away games.
