Speaking of H/H Series..

[Shock Top]

I was taking with an Xavier fan/alumnus, before the Xavier vs Dayton game. He was very knowledgeable about our program (stating what "terrible luck" WSU has had so far this season with injuries, as oppose to other fans asking "what the hell happened to WSU?").

Any who, we got to talking about each other's programs and such. Then, he mentioned how impressed he and several other alumni were with our fan base. So much so that they were going to have their alumni association speak with the AD about looking into a H/H with WSU.

I know this is nothing "concrete", but it would be nice if it happened. I'm all for scheduling as many H/H as possible, as long as we never have to play ESU or Newman (in a non-exhibition game) ever again!

Would love a series with Dayton. They are one of the best fanbases in college basketball, very similar to our own. Even though they went 30 years without great tournament success (Elite 8 in 1984, then a drought till 2014), they continued to make the tournament fairly regularly and their fanbase never stopped showing up. They've been one of the top 30 teams in attendance for 16 straight years, and they've been in the top 35 every year since 1969, usually averaging around 12,000 fans. I've found their fans to be knowledgeable and passionate about the sport in general, whereas a lot of power conference fans I've met only really know about their team and only really care about college basketball when their team is good.

A series with Dayton would also be good, but the OP was talking to a Xavier alumnus.
