I was able to piece together the CUSA schedule for USM (and the 11 other member schools) based off the schedule releases of Louisiana Tech, Rice, FAU, Charlotte and ODU. Kinda worked like a process of elimination puzzle.

That's 49/56 games with a date. Still looking for the weekend opponent from Feb 23-25. 4 midweek games too. UNO is a traditional midweek game, so you can pretty much pencil them in to be 2 of those. Just don't know the exact dates yet. Hoping for a March 13th game on the Lakefront, so I can make a Spring Break trip to NOLA out of it (already playing at Tulane on March 14th).

Baseball doesn’t have to do it. And no, I wouldn’t rather Play a road game than a home game. Yes, thanks for your effort in putting this info together.

They do not need or need to count on a paltry baseball guarantee to bring up the whole athletic department. I will ask Scott when I see him.
