2017-18 Schedule

[WuShock Reaper]

Even though we miss out on another game, our non-conference (NC) schedule still has the potential to shake out rather well. Using last year’s final RPI numbers and if we can get Marquette and Notre Dame (in Maui), then:

2018 - Wichita State - projected RPI NC avg. 104 (will play 12 games)
2017 - Kentucky – actual RPI NC avg. 119 (played 13 games)
2016 - Oklahoma - actual RPI NC avg. 154 (played 12 games)
2015 - Duke - actual RPI NC avg. 135 (played 13 games)
2014 - Wisconsin - actual RPI NC avg. 116 (played 13 games)

Non-conference schedule is official. Henderson State coming in for the exhibition game is a D-2 from Arkansas. http://goshockers.com/news/2017/8/22...-schedule.aspx

So does that mean we have two exhibition games total including CoC?

Just one exhibition with Henderson State. Why would you think that College of Charleston would be an exhibition?

I thought I read somewhere that they were dropping their D1 status. Guess I'm mistaken?

That was Savannah State. There was some confusion over that...conflicting reports over whether it is right away or in the near future. WSU could still technically play Savannah State as a regular season opponent without being an exhibition, but I don't think the American allows members to do so. So maybe Savannah State isn't D-2 just yet.

Yeah that was it. I just need to go back over to my rocking chair, cover up with my Afghan and let Elaine feed me my Yankee bean soup. It sucks getting old!

I liked the short capsules on each team included at the bottom of this release.

Great capsules on the schools we will face.

Do you guys have a good guesstimate of when the conference schedule will be released? The East Carolina game is most intriguing as I live (VA Beach) about 2½ hours north of Greenville. If Shox at Pirates is a weekend game, 100% certain that I will make it. Might even make it if a weeknight.

I think the Shockers do win, but if ECU can get things going, they have a most intimidating gym and atmosphere. Still puzzles me that they have sunk money into a hoops practice facility, etc but retain Jeff Lebo.

Our beat reporter said last year that it was released on or around September 8th. So that is kind of what we are expecting for a release date.

OU has a player who is academically ineligible for the 1st semester (8 games). If he take cares of business he will be back for the 1st game following the end of the 1st semester. That would be the Wichita State game.

I'm assuming he will not be allowed to practice with the team?

If so, it may be a week or two before he'd get more than just a few minutes of PT.

And so begins the annual tanking of WSU's non-con schedule.
