Pairings will be announced in late January and I believe wufan said they are based on proximity and similar RPIs. Our opponent will come to CU in Nov/Dec 2013-14.

Let the guessing game begin! Who do we want? Who do we NOT want?

We're already scheduled to play at App and at Creighton. Can we already rule-out those two?

Way to early, but just for fun.....Sagarin ratings closest to the Camels 11-27-11...

92 Wis-Milwaukee
93 Weber State
(103 Campbell)
106 South Dakota State
110 Miami (Ohio)

Keep in mind too whoever we play comes to Gore next November or December, so I am kind of hoping for someone who would bring some interest and/or fans to the return game as well.

Hope it is Butler or Davidson.

I think Davidson is a possibility and so is Georgia State and Appalachian State.

Happy Appy is already on the schedule so it probably won't be them.

Good point. I would go with Georgia State or Davidson if that is the teams that could be potential opponents.

VCU is #64 and Davidson is #73. They might match those two.

CollegeSportsMadness.com is posting weekly predictions of the BB pairings.

This week, they have Campbell going to Evansville...

http://www.collegesportsmadness.com/article/3091

(Actual pairings will be announced Jan 30.)

We should learn who our opponent is today.

Apparently there is some sort of secetion show for this at 6:30 on ESPNU. If you ever wanted to see Campbell mentioned during a secetion show ...

I kid, I kid.

Sat. Feb 18 4pm - Campbell at Northwestern State (La.) from the Southland Conference

The Demons are currently ranked #219 by Sagarin, while Campbell is #193, so it sounds like it could be a pretty close game.

Their results thusfar this season...(nothing real impressive)

http://www.nsudemons.com/schedule.aspx?p...basketball

So the Camels will go to a place called Natchitoches, while High Point will play their BracketBuster game in a place called Nacogdoches (Tex. - Stephen F. Austin, also in the Southland).

NSU will have to come to the Creek sometime in the near future. This isn't really the name opponent I was hoping for. By name opponent, I don't necessarily mean good opponent. Wish we were playing a school people would, at least, readily know what state they're from.

We could play the St. Mary's women's team on the road and might lose. I don't care who we play in a road game we might get beat.

If we are at home we might could scare the Tarheels to death but on the road we can stink it up anytime, anyway and anywhere. Name it and we have probably done it.

Maybe not this time though.
