Non Conference Schedule - basketball

[Mark]

Frank told me there's a total of 3 games left that nobody knows about. He will release those soon.
Cant wait Frank!! ;)

No, still waiting on Jamie to call. Let me call Coach K, he probably knows. 1 sec.

Valpo ain't great, but theyre an RPI Top 100 team. Should be good for the schedule. Of potential NC opponents, NMSU, UConn, Iona, Valpo, and George Mason should all be top 100. Mercer, Indiana St. and possibly Quinninpiac should be top 150. Cinci and St Louis should both be top 50 if not top 25.

Thats 1 top 150, 5 top 100 (potentially), and 2 top 50 games. Last year we had 2 top 150, 2 top 100, and 1 top 50 games in NC. When you take away the scrubs that we would play instead, it will make a huge difference in RPI. I've always argued that our RPI suffers because of the teams we play in the 200s and 300s rather than not scheduling UNC.

We will also play two fewer NC games this year becauses of the expanded MWC. Thats two fewer scrubby opponents and only 4 remaining games to fill on the NC schedule.

The RPI comparison when compared to last year looks good, but lets not forget, this time last year, our non conference schedule looked pretty solid...

No it didn't. It may have looked better than it turned out to be at the top with Nova, OSU, and USC, but there was a lot of crap on that schedule that we knew would be crap.

Very true. But, i recall hearing talk that the schedule was solid at the begginning of the season only to be dissapointed when Nova, OSU and USC didn't work out as planned.

Hang out at the chatbox now and again. You never know what you'll pick up there.

[MacLobo]

Sounds like a future project for Mark. He can make it so that all chat comments get posted to Twitter under a common username, ie., Fake_TLL_Chatbox. Gonna' need another sponsor.
