That is the non-conf schedule of a team with NIT goals.

That is a soft and relaxing non-conference schedule.

Back in the middle of June i made some comments about our OOC schedule and Janks' recruiting and was thoroughly panned for it.

Now what do you all think of it? Hey ponymanx (formerly known as horsemanx) does this schedule make you happy and elated that we will undoubtedly get an invite to the big dance as we should roll all of these pattycakes.
Wonder how all of those who paid up big in the re-seating feel now.

Loaded up the home schedule with what hopefully will be a lot of wins and opportunity to experiment with lineups and combinations. Not a bad schedule to prepare this year's team for conference play. Not sure this roster is ready to take on a schedule loaded with Top 25 programs. Also have to remember that our recent success (especially at Moody) isn't going to have big name programs lining up to schedule home/home series with us.

Wrong way to reward your season ticket holders after that re-seat debacle. That is a pathetic non-conference and a good way to remove yourself from consideration by the committee.

This season SMU is bringing only one (scholarship) freshman (Feron Hunt) into the program.

The team has plenty of college basketball experience. Mike (at Duquesne), Foster, Dixon (30 starts in 17-18), Chargois, Whitt and McMurray have been starters.

I wonder why our coaching staff decided not to challenge the team during non-conference play.

Soft scheduling (usually) does not build a strong team.

Hopefully Jank won't be here in 2 seasons. This schedule should be a fireable offense.

I committed an extra $3000 on my seats for this?

Curious what the avg RPI is here. If we don’t go undefeated or lose 1 game max, the season is as good as over. Pathetic job scheduling

Jank is such a scared sack of [deleted]. He must still think he's at Illinois State.

What an absolutely garbage schedule. Hello NIT!

No surprise that our conference mates are mad at us

We could run this and probably still be left out in March.

Embarrassing.
