THE DROUGHT IS OVER!!!
THE DROUGHT IS OVER!!!
🏀 WE HAVE A BASKETBALL GAME NEXT MONDAY NIGHT 11/4! 🏀
- Thread starter onewoof
- Start date
We played two closed door exhibitions but none open to the public.
Most teams play open exhibitions against good teams. I know Duke, Arkansas, Memphis, Alabama, and some other big programs did. Not sure why we didnt take advantage of that.... well maybe not most but its possible to do and somethign we should have done.
3 gimmes before we start playing real games on the 17th. Utah. Still think we should have added another quality non conference game or two.
Seems like we have some good names on there. Utah, SMU, UNLV, Butler/Northwestern, Pitt, Memphis. Is that not enough? I always see people complain about this, but as long as we don't lose the bad games, does it matter? I know they have that RPI or whatever the new one is, but does it really make that big of a difference.
We got in 2 years ago as a bubble team... and last year unless we win that Tenn game in the tournament we are likely in the play-in round or out... and this schedule is better than 2 years ago, but similar to last seasons.
Home games against bad teams hurt.. and we are playing more than we should. True if do well in the SEC it wont matter, but if we are that 9th or 10th team in the SEC it will.
Our non conference schedule is set up really well with all of the neutral site games. That gives us a NET boost on games in Tupelo, Jackson and Southaven that will be like home crowds but for NET purposes they count as a neutral site. Add to it the SEC is absolutely brutal and we shouldn’t have any problems getting in with 19-20 wins
