Basketball Scheduling

Anyone have an idea of what his scheduling philosophy is? Sure there are contracts for games already agreed to from Marlin deals, but past that will we see better ooc home schedules and not any warm body U teams the coming couple of seasons?

I would expect that we will see at least marginally better home OOC games, and almost certainly better road OOC scheduling. I will go out on a limb and predict that this season we will have our first victory over a top 100 RPI P4 team since Jesse Evans was the coach.

I think you will see us play more high level majors than in the past. That is based upon Coach White's comments in his final interview with Jay Walker. I think it will be at least 2 road money games in the first year and perhaps as many as 3. As far as next year goes, we have continued the series with McNeese and LA Tech. Since we played both at home this past season, they likely are to be on the road. We also have to go to Lamar as they played here this past year. We will also have the MAC challenge games. Regarding getting attractive schools to come to the Dome, I don't think that happens this year. We may get it in the future if some of the road money games are either 2 for 1 or 3 for 1 deals. It will be tough to get any type of home schedule put together as we played so many home games this past season. At this point, I would say we only have the nine conference home games and the MAC challenge game set to be played at home. Learfield says we have to play 14 home games. It may be tough to find 4 more without at least 1 non d1 school. You can play 29 home games unless you play in one of those multi team exempt tournaments. You can then go to as many as 31.

That stat is both astonishing and embarrassing every time I see it.

And some thought everything was just fine under Marlin.
