The home schedule is especially interesting with four seemingly easy non-conference games to open the season and get these guys playing together in front of the home crowd. Follow that with four tough home games where this team will indeed be tested....Michigan St., VCU, UNI, and Wichita. Followed by another 4-5 winnable home games (Drake, E'ville, ISUred, ISUblue, Missouri St.), and finishing with a few tough ones (Creighton, BracketBuster, and SIU). I just wish Indiana St. and Drake were weekend games. Other than the two South Padre home games, those two may be the only non-sellout home games we have.

I know this has been discussed on the decaying board so I am not sure if this was mentioned by anyone else....

I think the final 3 games (Home vs Bracket Buster, Home vs SIU, Road vs Creighton) are gonna be huge. And then follow them with the Conference Tourney.

At this point, I love the schedule. I think it sets up for us nicely. If we're contending for an MVC crown, how sweet would it be to win it in our final home game against the perennial conference champs?

I have been following the rankings from Rivals.com and there is no MVC team they are at 48. Atlantic 10 has three St. Louis, St. Joseph, Rhode Island

Rivals.com doesn't even acknowledge that the MVC exists, so I wouldn't worry about it.

I thought the samething when I saw the schedule and with the emphasis on your last 10 games and how you finish these 3 and of course the tourney will be huge.

First time in years though we are in Omaha on a Saturday. Think I might make that weekend trip.

How many BU fans usually make it to the Wichita State away game. Wichita is close enough for a road trip from Dallas.

WSU is only MVC city I havent seen us play in. I wonder how difficult it is for a game in WSU to get tickets too or tickets that are near other BU fans, essentially behind the bench.

I went to Evansville a few years ago and bought tickets at half court in the middle of Eville fans and it was a miserable experience, we lost a huge lead, MO got tossed and their fans were really not a lot of fun.
