I mentioned scheduling in my recent post in the game thread, and just wanted to start a thread now now. If memory serves we actually have 3 really good home games lined up for next season... I'm 90% these are all correct, but if I'm wrong let me know!

Toledo- I believe the original deal with Toledo was a 2 and 2 so they should be coming back to Gentile. It'll be the fourth game between our two teams in 3 years.

UIC- I'm pretty sure it's been on the board this was also a 2 and 2; the first one was at UIC correct? The Flames could be a real power in the Horizon next year with their young backcourt and Tai Odaise back from injury.

NC State- I remember hearing NC State was a 3 games 2 at NC and 1 here. We'll get another shot at the Wolfpack minus an NBA Lottery pick.

All 3 games are really solid competition that should be real challenges that will help us in the long run; it's a fairly comparable mid major (Toledo), a local up and comer (UIC), and a nationally renowned program (NC State).

It's not a home game but we will play theuniversity of Missouri Kansas City so Custer and Richardson can play in their home town in front of friends and family.

Heard the MVC/MWC Challenge Game is @ Boise State

Too soon. Too soon.

Happy that we'll play UMKC for a couple reasons, but I'm not sure that will help with upgrading the schedule. Even though their coach is starting to turn things around, they play a lot of seniors, so I wouldn't expect them to be that great even for a WAC team next year.

UIC was a four year contract that is now over. I expect it to be renewed in some fashion. 25, why not just play @ Kansas and take home a paycheck as well?

That's a great idea! But it is not my call. 9599 do you know when the Boise State game is?

No idea on the date of the game @ Boise State.

Also, we are playing in an eight team tourney in Savannah Georgia sometime in November, probably around Thanksgiving.
Should be a lot less expensive than going to St. Thomas. Someone I know recommended flying to Charleston South Carolina for a couple of days and then driving to Savannah.

As of now:

Home v.s. N.C. State
Home v.s. Illinois-Chicago
Home v.s. Toledo
@ Boise State
@ Savannah, GA Tourney
Home Game via GA Tourney? (this year teams hosted an on campus game before going to GA)
Home v.s. Non D1? (at least one is almost guaranteed)
@ Milwaukee ?
@ UMKC
