Really Happy to see Coach Wardle Schedule a home and away with Univ. Of Sanfrancisco! That's great competition! They nearly beat Cincinnati in the NIT last year! Plus they play Gonzaga and St.Mary's! I would love if Coach COULD schedule either of those 2 teams!!!! That West Coast Conference is really good and full of aspiring Mid-Majors as well as Gonzaga which is the BEST mid-Major! I hope Coach can schedule a couple more teams like those of the west coast conference! EXCITING NEWS 4 SURE! you love to have a very good team coming to Carver!!!!
 
Evansville's non-conference schedule is out

Ohio State & Texas had NET's better than 100, and a couple more were in the 130 range, the rest were >>200

Assuming we end up with 31 scheduled games, then there’s still 3 non-conference games yet to be revealed.
I’m hoping at least one is a P-5 school but I’m also thinking one will be a DII

Ohio State was NET 49 last year, and North Texas was 79 - https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/basketball-men/d1/ncaa-mens-basketball-net-rankings - https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/basketball-men/d1/ncaa-mens-basketball-net-rankings

A couple opportunities for a quadrant 1 road win. But UE has had a huge roster makeover, losing their top 5 scorers. So it will be a longshot.

funny, but Dave Eminian has yet to note or mention Canisius - yet we know pretty certain we will play them Dec. 21

Also, ULM and Wright State are "done deals" for the Myrtle Beach tourney, according to bloggingthebracket.com, not "believed to be."
Bradley will be in a lineup with Middle Tennessee, Ohio, Portland, Princeton and South Florida. The final two teams — believed to be Wright State and Louisiana-Monroe — are finalizing their commitment to the tourney.
Dave needs to get onto the same page. lol
 
a little off topic, but I was just reading about the non-conference schedule that Texas just released..
..especially their home slate for their home fans...
They play ONE single home game against a ranked opponent, then here are the rest of their home non-conference games..

Houston Christian, Chicago State, Mississippi Valley State, Delaware State, New Mexico State, Arkansas Pine Bluff, New Orleans, Northwestern State.

Every single one of those opponents had a NET of 289 or worse, many were WAY worse... in the 340 to 360 range.
Mississippi Valley State was dead last in NET (362), Houston Christian, New Orleans & Northwestern State were all right there in the bottom 5% of DI teams.
Their fans must be really looking forward to this schedule.

If they get points for scheduling higher division teams then they should get points taken away for scheduling so many lower division teams. However kudos to those lower division teams who are able to schedule Texas and a chance to beat them
 
Wow. Either Texas thinks their conference is that tough that they need cupcakes or the coach doesn’t believe in what he has.
