Future Schedules

[Old MVC Days]

Consider me pleased. Noticeably absent is more than one of those 300+ rpi games. Thank you!!

We don't play in the Valley any longer, it's fine.

Although it's too bad the Huskers appear they are going to suck again. But I guess we should be use to that by now.

We do host the defending national champions this season. That's a nice home game.

Here's a game-by-game look at the schedule:

Last year's RPI and KenPom numbers. I know this definitely can change year over year, but I really like the fact that we have 4 200+ RPI teams scheduled at this point compared to 6 in the non-conference last year. Also, a key to this is that Washington St. has very little improvement needed to get into that top 200. Also, unlike last year our road games are very winnable. Let's face it, there was no way that we were walking into Indiana or Oklahoma and taking those teams down no matter how hopeful we were going into it. At ASU and at Nebraska are winnable games. We have such great opportunities for top 100 RPI wins and possibly top 50. We had 0000000000000 top 150 RPI wins last year in the non-con and that killed us in our chase to the bubble. This year, there are very winnable top 100 games including Wisky at home, 1 or 2 of the Paradise Jam games, ASU on the road, and one or both of the MAC teams. This schedule won't be glamorous or get us a ton of non-con national attention, but it also will keep our computer numbers high so that when we knock off Nova at home the whole country will be on watch

Thanks, good quick breakdown.

When can we drop that RPI drag Nebraska?

[cujaysfan]

i'd trade neb for iowa in a heartbeat

gonna be tough for the red to be sub 175 or so this year.

[Panhandle Jay]

We should play at UNLV every year as our last non-conference game before/after Christmas. Vegas baby.

How anybody can be happy about this schedule is beyond me. Wisconsin is the one team on the schedule that is very good. ASU and NU are at least from power conferences but aren't any good. IMO we did ourselves absolutely no favors with this schedule. And reading some comments on Twitter, they agree with me. But hey, at least we didn't schedule any 300+ teams, but we sure as hell have no problem with the 200+ teams. We have a very experienced team coming back and we "prepare" ourselves with this garbage?

Add in the BE schedule and it looks fine to me. But everyone has an opinion.
