Good catch. I'll fix. I was surprised for a second too not remembering San Diego State was in it. Makes sense, thanks.

And technically, but not likely the Ragin' Cajuns of Louisiana.

Is it usually this long before the entire OOC schedule is released? I feel like I am following this more than in years past so I am not sure? Don't they have quite a few still to fill?

I think and do not quote me on this but maybe 4 games.

It's probably a bit tougher with playing at Bb&t and the logistics around that.

 

[GarradJ21]

Yes, it takes a long time. Last year I feel like the schedules wasn't even out at yet in late summer and that's when we found out we wouldn't even be playing Michigan. I could be wrong though. I tweeted Chad the other week and asked when we can expect it to be finalized and he said he wasn't quite sure and that just like J Hub said that's it is going to take longer due to playing at NKU.

Add Cleveland state to the non conference slate. They come in to town on dec 21st

242 in Kenpom and return 4 of 5 starters

Fine with me. So what's our schedule looking like?

18 AAC (9H/9A)
UCLA (A)
Xavier (A)
Florida (N)
Wyoming/UAB is it? (N)
Iowa? (N)
2 games with the Cayman islands thing? (H?)
Mississippi State (H)
Cleveland State (H)

What am I missing? Do I have the locations right?

@ucla
Florida (neutral)
Miss state
Buffalo (cayman island game 1)
Uab/Richmond (game 2)
Iowa (probably, which is cayman championship)
@xavier
Alabama state
Western Carolina
Cleveland state
Coppin state

So 2 more home games. Which I assume will be buy games

I'm really happy with this schedule. We will have plenty of opportunities to test ourselves in the regular season.

Should be a very nice season of basketball Jake.

I’m happy but not overly. It just sucks we are playing 3 teams who are 300+ in kenpom.

Last year we played zero. 300+ teams.

So don’t expect this to be a top 75 non conference schedule or anything. Those low level buy games really hurt your SOS

True, but we have plenty of chances to show how good we are. If we win the majority of the big games we will get a good seed and thats all I care about.

Hopefully the AAC is better this year. Got to remember that we will play WSU twice which we didn't have last year... That will be a nice boost. Temple will/should be better, UCF will be solid, UConn will have a better year to. Schedule is looking pretty good. Just gotta win those big non conference games.

100%

Both the OOC and AAC games look solid over all. Yeah we have a few bad cupcakes, but the overall is good.

AAC had a down year last year. Looks much better top to bottom, and I would not count out SMU or UCF. I think WSU and UC are a notch above, but those teams will fight hard.

The in conference games really hurt us last year, but the OOC is better and the in conference should be as well. Im not worried about the schedule. This team is loaded and if they live up to the hype I see a top 10 finish.

 

[Bearcat513]

The sub-300 RPI teams will really hurt us. Our schedule is pretty great RPI/KenPom wise for the most part. But, playing teams below 300 RPI almost cancels out games against top 100 RPI, imo.

Happy with it, I will be at every home game, and we just need to win. Blow out the bad teams to leave no doubts.
