Could this be right? They've only had ONE away game all year so far?

And we play them after all these home games? If true, I want some of that scheduling mojo (in football as well).

OSU has only played one true "away" game this year so far...Marquette. Played a neutral floor game against Notre Dame at Madison Square Garden. Pretty common stuff. I assume next year SMU will play basically home games until conference schedule. Maybe one or two road games or neutral court.

I hope we get invited to play in the Jimmy V classic next year. I would love to make a trip to NYC during the holidays to see us play at MSG.

Let's just go to Maui or puerto Rico or somewhere I can show off my speedo

They lost in New Mexico and won in New York. Technically, the X game was on a neutral court.

Or the "Legends Classic!" Similar to the Corpus Christi Tournament, SMU could host the 1st & 2nd round at Moody. Then the semifinals/finals are held at the Barclay Center in Brooklyn. . . Which happens to be where Larry Brown grew up.

I'd like to see the Mustangs play in the Charleston Classic just before Thanksgiving next year. Usually a pretty good 8 team field

I'd love the charleston classic as well

Right, Cincinnati schedule is nothing new. We have only played 3 away games one of which was to get the Chicago kids back home at UIC.

Oh, ok, I didn't realize it was that common in OOC play. Hopefully, our guys are rested up and ready to play with fire. Moody should be electric after coming in with a win at Cincy to play UConn on a national stage (after all, anything could happen . . . although I don't expect us win either game . . . Cincy would be tough on the road and UConn is an elite team - we are close, but not quite there yet . . . I hope they prove me wrong).

I agree with the first eight words! As for the rest, well...

It's more common for the established programs or teams that are good. Makes sense in a way, other teams are knocking at your door to play you. Next year, teams will be begging Larry to schedule a game with SMU and he'll make them come to Moody. A few teams play home and homes but it's not quite like football. For example, MSU and Texas did a home and home OOC. OSU/Kansas did a home and home a year ago. UK/Louisville obviously. But these are all teams that are "established" powers and can demand a big team travel to their place and the other will pay the visit back the following year. For small programs like Wyoming, they often spend their OOC on the road basically because they can't demand that a team come to their place.

I think this will really be evident with SMU next year.
