On the other hand, this schedule avoids back-to-back roadies on short turnarounds, with the obvious exception of the game at O$U, which is probably a low probability game regardless, so if we have to have one, that would be my first choice. I only see one "open" date where we have a week between games in the B1G (Feb 9/16), but presumably that is because we have an even number of teams.

Colgate and Kennesaw State were over 300 in the RPI last year, Miss Valley St. and Savannah State were in the 250 range. Savannah State has come a long way, they were a bottom 10 team in the RPI (330 range) for a number of years

Why in the heck would they show a game that was in the 30s last year?) I guess the last two weekend games have a pretty decent shot, but at OSU is low probability as mentioned. Lots of ESPN games, surprised that at Iowa isn't on BTN.

Bo should learn from Izzo, who always is scheduling tough opponents in NC......ya know, probably to prepare for that thing in March......I know, I know, the Big Ten is what matters, not March.

As far as I can tell he's never shied away from traveling or from scheduling tough opponents. Michigan State is a historically elite program and they can schedule the other big-name programs a lot easier than we can. It's not all that different from football.

So you are suggesting Bo (or Gard) doesn't attempt to schedule "tough" NC opponents? Oh that's right, I forgot, you work for CellCom so you see his itemized cell phone minutes every month....

There's a good point there, UW has been real good over the last decade, but for whatever reason, CBS isn't arranging a home and home with Kentucky or Kansas with UW, or UW doesn't make the dance card for an MSG doubleheader in November. On some level it is what it is and this is the first year where the NC schedule had seemed really soft to me. I wonder if the price of bringing in a 150 RPI team has gone way up in the last couple of years compared to a 250 RPI team and some of those 325 type RPI teams would likely visit dirt cheap.

The last few years we seem to have finally moved up the pecking order with two Duke games and one UNC, so that helps. Then the AD no doubt requires a certain amount of home games to maximize revenue, which determines the number of buy-games we need to schedule. Buy games are virtually impossible to get unless you dip down to the lower levels of DI. It would be great if we could get more upper level Horizon League, Colonial League, or Missouri Valley type games, but those games are hard to land without a return trip. Then we are committed to one in-state away game every year and two homes games between UWGB, UWM and Marquette. That's really an excellent set-up with the in-state schools, in my opinion. Essentially, the way this is set up leaves very little wiggle room.

Looks like we get the flip of the football schedule, with Nebraska's first conference game a home game against UW. https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B_iEWnkBfpw5Mjk0MzY5MjktNzZlOS00NzQ4LWI2NDUtNmU3OGNmNmE3Zjhl&hl=en_US

My only question about the NC schedule is why they don't play the in-state games around the holiday period where it is tough to get teams to travel. It seems to me that it would be easier to get a better "buy" game in early December and the prospect of traveling a short distance around the state during finals period seems to make a lot of sense for all involved. The only other issue one could bring with the level of competition is that the exempt tourney lacks a bigger challenge this year. While I am sure BYU will field a good team again this year, there is no BCS team in the field. The bigger exempt tourneys include a team from each of the BCS conferences and others to fill it out.

Teams like VCU and Butler don't play anyone from 2+ months in conference play and were awesome in the tournament. Much like football, I'd like to see them play better teams in the non-conf because watching blowout games gets boring after a while, but equating a tough schedule with tournament success is sketchy, at best.

I think they design it so that December is as "student friendly" as possible. The only away game at the end of the semester is a very short trip in early Dec. And right before finals there is a fairly "easy" home game.

Posts: 172 September 8, 2011 1:01 PM	Remove this ad Is there only one exhibition game this year, or does Kennesaw State qualify as one? One plus to these games besides being able to give the WIAC schools some exposure is that it is often the only time that you can get a glimpse of some of the freshman duing the year, especially if they redshirt.
