Rick Hart was considered for AD of Kansas. Imagine he brought this type of schedule to that school. If you look at Kansas OOC games, they are not afraid to compete.

SMU improved its MBB program, but it has a long ways to go before it can be compared with Kansas.

I'm not sure how no one else caught this. SMU is bringing in three freshman on scholarship.

If Young was given a 'ship, that would make 12 on the roster and I thought we were limited to 11 until '19-'20. With 3 seniors on this year's squad and getting back to 13 'ships in '19-'20, we should have 4 more openings next year so maybe Young can earn one of those?

Young is on scholarship this year and he makes 11. McMurray, Hunt, Dixon, Douglas, Foster, White, Mike, Young, Ray, Chargois and Whitt.

I don't like our schedule, but this is just a silly statement. Of course Kansas isn't "afraid" to compete. A couple of losses in non-conference is completely irrelevant to them. And it's easy to schedule against similarly situated Blue Bloods since there is no downside to Kentucky, Nova, or Michigan State playing Kansas. You think SMU turned down legit opportunities to play these folks? Were there tons of other schools in the 15-40 RPI range that were knocking with legit offers to play, let alone do home and homes, or even 2 for 1s? Not likely. Not to mention, every fall tournament wants Kansas, and they have built in marquis games in the Champions Classic and Big XII SEC Challenge every year. I would love to get an AAC Big East challenge, but I doubt that would happen. Big East is already sending 5-7 to the tourney each year so it's hard to see their incentive.

What an absolutely garbage schedule. Hello NIT!
In fairness to the coaching staff, I don't think a lot of teams want to play SMU.

In all fairness - I have a hard time believing that the following teams don't want to play SMU:

UT-Arlington
Texas State
LA Tech
UT-San Antonio

All of which would be better options than Southern Miss, Western Carolina, Cornell, Oral Roberts, McNeese State, Lamar

I find it hard to believe Arkansas, which has in the past, and LSU would not do a H&H with us. I also believe OU would if pushed.

I really hoped we would try to get Gonzaga to do another H&H. That worked well for both schools in my opinion.

Maybe our non-conference schedule is optimized to maximize our NET ranking.

The real question is who will play us without demanding a home/home deal. I wonder how many of the above are getting return visits?

Some major programs wanted our home game to be at the AAC and then play at their home

Major programs don't want to play in Moody any more than they want to play at a place like Gonzaga. They have seen what happened to others since the Moody remodel.
