Working on it. Past final Basketball Schedules have been released mid August. -
Q: What happens to the regular-season game against Tulsa, now that the Golden Hurricane is again a conference rival?Originally posted by TheDover1018 View Post
A: Unclear, according to Boatright. The most likely result is that it becomes a conference game. WSU will almost certainly play Tulsa twice during the regular season, although the schedules are not set.

Wonder if Turg will schedule us now that we are no longer "at this level"?!

That was mentioned on the AAC board. Perhaps we keep the Tulsa OOC game and only play Tulsa once in the conference slate. I'd actually be in favor of that if it would open up a game against Central Florida or Temple. That would likely be better than any opponent we would otherwise find for that 7th spot.Originally posted by shockerfan View PostComment

It's time for the H&H with Creighton. I mean why not? That is if CU is ready....Comment

They came to Wichita twice in the MVC-MWC Challenge. There was talk that the AD said in the media that it would only be fair to send WSU to Vegas.Originally posted by Metalkatz View Post78-65Comment

I can see it, as it has the potential to be a sizable RPI hit.Originally posted by WuShock16 View Post“Losers Average Losers.” ― Paul Tudor JonesComment

Not really schedule related in as much as other opponent related, but I believe I saw where John Cooper was hired as an assistant at Oklahoma State. An excellent decision.Comment

I would not be surprised to see Colorado State or Colorado on our schedule. At least we will try for a H/H because we do have several of our recruiting targets from Colorado. Tad Boyle may not want to come to Koch and he may feel that he doesn't need to schedule us on a H/H because Koch is too much of an advantage.Comment

No shortage of suitors, but UT-Arlington would be a dream buy game for next season. They return Kevin Hervey and other key pieces from last year's team and should win the Sun Belt again. RPI finished at 40 this season. I understand they are looking for one more "thanks for the check" game still.
No doubt our staff is working like crazy to plug the additional openings right now.Comment

The AAC uses a competitive matrix model when it comes to scheduling. So the top rated team will get the next 7 highest rated teams for Home-Away (14 games), while getting the last 4 ranked teams for single play (2 at Home and 2 Away games) for a total of 18 Conference Games. Using Kenpom’s final ratings for this season, you can get an approximation of what our schedule might look like for 2017-18.
1. WSU, (KP-#8)
2. SMU, (KP-#11) - Home and Away
3. Cincinnati, (KP-#23) - Home and Away
4. Houston, (KP-#52) - Home and Away
5. UCF, (KP-#68) - Home and Away
6. UConn, (KP-#96) - Home and Away
7. Memphis, (KP-#101) - Home and Away
8. Temple, (KP-#118) - Home and Away *?
9. Tulsa, (KP-#144) - Home or Away *?
10. ECU, (KP-#191) - Home or Away, but not both
11. Tulane, (KP-#241) - Home or Away, but not both
12. USF, (KP-#292) - Home or Away, but not both
*I would speculate that Tulsa would be given a Home and Away conference matchup with WSU. The close proximity with Wichita, our past rivalry, and since we owe them a return game as well. I think they will swamp out Temple for that to happen. I also think it would be better for us to have to travel to Tulane and USF, while having Temple and ECU travel to Wichita for a single conference games. However, if you want the best schedule do you take Temple over Tulsa?
Just my thoughts. Any others?Comment

I think Tulsa is always going to be a protected H/H due to the reasons mentioned.Comment

Not disputing what you have here, but I thought the AAC was looking to "regionalize" play first, then use a competitive matrix.Originally posted by WuShock Reaper View Post
WSU would play SMU, Houston, Memphis, Tulsa, and Tulane H/A every year. Then, in this case above, get Cincinnati and UCF H/A and divide up UConn, Temple, ECU, and USF only once, 2 at home and 2 away.Comment

They said they had no plans or desire to go to divisional play. I assume that means regional play well.
If the AAC is smart, it will plays its best/biggest teams against each other twiceLast edited by Shock Top; April 9, 2017, 09:33 PM.The AssmanComment
