MyBB A-Sun MBB scheduling - LOOK AT THIS!!
The A-Sun made sure not to do soon-to-be-departed Campbell any favors when scheduling conference games this year. I've heard this mentioned this year, but I didn't realize it was this bad until I saw the numbers.

Check out the disparity when you consider the number of days Campbell has before playing their next opponent and the number of days since their next opponent played....days used for game prep, practice (if allowed per NCAA), rest, and travel.

Picking up after the JU game on Jan 3rd, here's the break-down....

Days Campbell had to prepare to play next opponent - Campbell's next opponent - Days CU's next opponent had to prepare to play the Camels

1 - UNF - 4
1 - KSU - 1
2 - MER - 2
4 - @Bel - 1
1 - @Lip - 3
2 - FGCU - 3
1 - STE - 3
3 - @UNF - 2
1 - @JU - 4
4 - @Mer - 4
1 - @KSU - 6
2 - LIP - 3
1 - BEL - 6
4 - @Ste - 6
1 - @FGCU - 4
4 - ETSU - 4
1 - UPST - 6

34 - TOTALS - 62 CU's opponents have had a total of 28 days (nearly a month) more prep/rest/etc days before playing Campbell than Campbell has had to prepare for them!!!

I think this is just a case of being in a really unfortunate position of being the geographically separated 11th team in this conference. I don't think there is a vast conspiracy to punish Campbell. When there are an odd number of teams it is always going to be more difficult to schedule and someone is going to get screwed. The Big South should be a bit friendlier to you guys.

Preparation time is not what is keeping us from winning. (its not like Campbell is full of a bunch of Rhodes Scholars) Poor Game Management and inability to recruit based on a system of play. Laing just grabs whatever talent is out there and hopes it meshes together.

Baker is exactly right. The problem is we are the odd ball out in an 11 team league with no travel partner.

Also some of this problem is brought on by Campbell itself by not allowing games on Sunday.

You could always prepare for a game you have to win by taking your kids out of class earlier so you can travel down to Orlando for the Magic vs Wizards game instead of practicing. (I know it could have been a day off) I wonder where this fits under NCAA rules and regulations.

The way we have played this year it does not matter how many days we had to prepare. Missing free throws and playing like crap all the time. Does not matter how many days rest we have. We can make excuses but if you are a good team you play through this. We had 4 days of rest tonight and are getting beat by the Hatters. This is pathetic.

In hindsight, all of the above stated reasons could have lead to the disaster that was 2011 hoops!
