2013-14 Schedule

[Guest]

Thought it'd be nice to have a thread for any and all scheduling news, rumors, bickering and praise.

The games we are currently locked in to (please tell me if I am forgetting any):

CBE Classic (2 home games vs. TBA, 2 games in KC vs. DePaul/Texas/BYU)
@ Tulsa
vs. Davidson
vs. Tennessee (Intrust Bank Arena)
vs. ORU
vs. Western Kentucky (ESPN 24 Hour Tipoff Marathon)
@ Alabama


Rumored matchups:

@ St. Louis (trying to match up dates)
vs. high-quality neutral court opponent


That represents ten games we that are definitely on the slate, leaving a maximum of three that will be determined over the coming months.

That's a good looking lineup already.

Are you sure we get Detroit next year and not the year after?

Pretty sure. Right around the time ESPN announced that this was BB's last season, they said that all return games were being moved forward a year so that there wouldn't be any obligations extending beyond 2013-14. I searched briefly for the link but couldn't find it.

Speculation- I expect Charleston Southern to be on the schedule again. I know HCGM is tight with their staff and they've been an excellent buy-game the last two seasons. The Bucs return all but 2 players from a team that won the Big South and should contend for another title next year.

Isn't there a rumor about a possible game in Brooklyn?

Tulsa needs to become Koch Arena South next year.

[ABC]

That's a good start, but in order to get a seed above 5, I think we need one or two wins from team in the top 25 RPI.

Of that list, I think only Tennessee has a shot at being top 25.

[Capitol Shock II]

I expect Texas to make a little noise next year. They were very young this year and their Coach will be motivated.

We need to see if louisville wants a game, even if its a buy game only. Home and home with St Louis or someone like that.

Big 12 should be weak again, too.

Totally agree. Having seen the BOK twice in the last week, trust me, it's an easy drive even if we play them on campus. This program has delivered a Final Four.....the days of sending 250-1000 fans a mere 2+ hours to a roadie should be over.

Anything less than 2.5k for a weekend tilt in Tulsa or KC should be disappointing at a minimum. Probably why we'll play Tulsa during the week.

[WuDrWu]

Still have Elgin's MVC-B12 KC idea, the Brooklyn idea, and whatever the FF cache can bring. Should be able to put together a solid schedule in the next month.

If we play Louisville at the Bucket, I'm going to make the 15 minute drive to the game!! LOL!!

[CBB_Fan]

My personal hope is to schedule a series with either Ohio State or Louisville. I'd like the opportunity to get one marquee level (Sweet 16 or better level) opponent before the conference season.

[Rocky Mountain Shock]

Possible games with New Mexico and Cincinnati as well.
