Tommy Amaker only likes to do about one buy game a year and it's usually in the Northeast (UConn, etc.)...but man would it be fun to get Harvard down to Wichita this fall. They are going to be very, very good this year.
Alternatively, it would make a great 2 year home and home. We don't recruit Boston that heavily but we do seem to be hitting NY/NJ hard at the moment.
I also realize suggesting opponents is silly since literally anyone decent has already been explored in depth by Boatright, but hey, it's the offseason.

How many teams in the top 50 will play 42% of their non-conference schedule on their home floor?Kung Wu say, man who read woman like book, prefer braille!

Houston would be an nice home and home, considering WSU's recruiting interest in the area, but it's hard to imagine that the info above is anything the athletic department hasn't known for a long time and explored thoroughly already. The low RPI rank last year shouldn't be a deterrent, because it can easily enough rise, especially in a good conference like the AAC.

@JohnMartin929: Josh Pastner says Tigers will enter opening game against Wichita State with one or two plays.
It's getting a few good retweet comments , my favorite is:
@ErinPeter2: “@JohnMartin929: Pastner says Tigers will enter opener against Wichita State with 1 or 2 plays” Not even fball season and excuses startingShockerNet is a rat infested cess pool.

I don't know everything about college basketball, but I would probably try to attack WSU's Top 15 defense with more than 1 play.
I've only seen one play that when executed properly immediately ends a game. Unfortunately for Memphis, that was Tekele's dunk last season at ISUr.
