Conference Basketball Schedule Released

Do we know if either of these are part of a series, or only for this season?

We are getting money to go to those places (Wyoming and TCU) as part of the MTE. They are not returning the visits. We are buying a couple of games with those funds. Teams we are buying are not from the SWAC or SLC. One of those is the school we are waiting to get the contract from. May hear entire schedule announced within one week.

No, I meant Arizona and LTUR.

. Arizona StAte is a money game. They are not coming here. LTU is a continuation of the series. I presume they come here in December of 2020.

Arizona State game was Maggard negotiating them canceling the Football game with us.
"Additionally, Louisiana will play a men’s basketball game at Arizona State during the Fall of 2019 and will receive a $95,000 guarantee."

We play Coastal and App State once. We play Arky State twice.

I will say this about the home schedule. There are two teams on it that are much different from what we are used to at home.

So it's not the usual suspects.

Thanks for correction about conference schedule one time opponents.

Thanks....I remember that story now.

I just hope our non-conference home opponents are somewhat attractive draws and not teams equivalent to some of our local high schools.

For some, the fact that the schools are different will make them attractive. We are buying those games, so I wouldn't expect a "wow' factor.

While there likely will not be a wow factor, the two opponents we are buying are from leagues with better reputations than the SWAC or SLC. I suspect they are similar to our league or slightly better. Those games may help us prepare for conference play more than Southern or Prairie View did last year. Prairie View did turn out to be decent as they won the SWAC. Still, I don't expect the attendance for those two games to be improved from our normal December crowds. That is OK if playing those games makes us better.
