I wish instead of four single games, we could just avoid playing USF and Tulane in general


Beating them by 30 makes our RPI fall.

Regardless of ranking, I think we should play Coog High twice each year.

Same goes for UCF & USF, Wichita & Tulsa, Temple & UConn, among others.

To continue that thought why not set up twice a year "rivalry" games for each team: SMU-UH. Tulsa-Wichita, Memphis-Tulane and Cincy-UConn, Temple-ECU, UCF-USF, no matter the rankings. Then go from there.

I haven't looked up the all-time record, but Tulane views Memphis as their historical "rival" in basketball. I doubt the feelings are returned, but that's how they view it.

Forced "rivalry" games are not a good idea in my opinion, but Memphis vs Cincy make a lot more sense than Memphis vs Tulane.

Travel costs also have to be a consideration for both Men & Women.

Ha! Memphis leads 50-10 all-time vs. Tulane in hoops. I understand why Memphis wouldn't view it as a rivalry.

Yeah I see these more as travel partners like there is in soccer and volleyball instead of rivalries.

Of course, geographically they would be more likely to be rivalries like USF-UCF, etc.

Nobody associated with Memphis sees Tulane as a "rival".

Yeah,,, but Tulane seemingly getting better and Memphis falling. Anyway that's why "rivalry" is in quotes. Hope all our so-called Historical Teams get better quickly, listening UConn, Temple, Memphis? And ECU, USF...OMG.

Wichita State has scheduled a series for next season with Baylor (RPI 11), Oklahoma State (RPI 39) and Oklahoma (RPI 169).

Still eagerly waiting for SMU schedule news to trickle out.
