Non conference scheduling

[SubGod22]

Point being that he’s not going to sweat that SOS the first couple of years.

If we have a better record next year than this year than Mills has earned his dough. Even if we play Friends, Newman and Emporia State round robin.

If he's not trying to make a statement and improve the program and judt wants to sit back and collect wins then we've hired the wrong guy.

Getting your teeth kicked in nightly in is not how you build a program. Crawl, walk, run.

Get fired for lack of real success. I don't care if he wins 20 games against a **** schedule. That does nothing for anyone or the program.

I noticed that one usually decent event is Missing from the link that You aRe TeLling us to chEck.

Huh. You don’t say.

I remember the days of playing Michigan State, Louisville, UConn, Marquette, etc in these MTE’s.

Last year we got powerhouses San Francisco and Grand Canyon. Now we get this elite field.

Second straight year to play in an MTE without a P5. That’s kinda annoying.

Definitely some very capable teams in this field, and considering where I program is right now, it’s probably very appropriate. But it would certainly be nice to get back to the kind of field that you were referencing, Fev.

I'm pretty pleased with this field. I hope we will be back on a level of being invited to elite events like Maui and Atlantis but the reality is that's a few years off.

For a smaller event, this field is made up of teams that are all at the top of their leagues on a regular basis. A few days in Myrtle Beach, and basketball games between all the teams in this field sounds like a really good trip to me.

I think it has to do with only getting two mid season non-con tournament games instead of three.

Not sure I follow. There are some good tournaments that give two games (NIT, HOF Classic, Vegas, Cancun, etc.) and others that give three (Orlando, Maui, B4A, Wooden).

Don't know what they'll be like next year, but this is a pretty good field. Big names, no. Good teams, yes. Surprised you mentioned Louisville. At least 4, maybe 5, of these teams would have kicked their butt this year.

Oh I don’t know. I just thought it was funny that 3 people responded with the same answer so I wanted to make it four.

Coastal Carolina- 11-20, 12th in Sun Belt
College of Charleston- 31-4, 1st in CAA
Furman- 28-8, 1st in Southern
Liberty- 27-9, 1st in ASun
St Louis- 21-12, 2nd in A-10
Vermont- 23-11, 1st in America East
WSU- 17-15, 6th in American
Wyoming- 11-22, 11th in MW

It’s a low major showdown, and we are the punch drunk prizefighter they are bringing in to destroy.

I have no idea who returns what but it's not as bad as I initially thought, though it's still not great.

So WSU and SLU are the “big” names, so to speak?
