RE: Future Basketball Schedules
Schools I know we talked with and could not come up with a contract for whatever reason: Richmond, Utah state, Valparaiso, Wofford, Chattanooga, Ole Miss, and Indiana state. That's just the ones I know about.
Maybe we get one or two next season.
I think we will do Chattanooga another H&H. I'm good with that. Would love Ole Miss, Utah State, and Richmond. Good RPI games.

They both have different struggles right now, which losing to UAB would not alleviate with their fanbase.

November - Cayman Islands Classic (UAB, Cincinnati, Iowa, Wyoming + 4 TBA)

Hasse has promised to work harder in getting a better OOC schedule but it is difficult.
im more curious to see future football schedules. I know we have agreed in principal with some teams but still no announcement concerns me

Contracts have to be already completed. 2017 is not far away at all with regards to scheduling announcements.

Those are the teams we need to be talking to. Do you think we've tried basically the entire MVC, coastal Carolina, mercer, Belmont,Murray state, etc as well? Several of those teams aren't long drives so we could attend road games as well.
I don't necessarily want us to have 13 top 100 games ooc, but I would love to see us keep the over 200 games to a minimum. I'm guessing we will already pick up two of those in the tournament next year.
And I'm fine with neutral site teams against any p5 school.

This maybe what Haase is talking about. Someone starts a thread about basketball schedules and someone says "I'm more interested in football schedules" and the thread derails to football.
Haase is definitely concerned about message board threads being derailed.

Those are the bones of a good schedule for next year. We have to avoid the 200+ rpi games OOC at all costs, and if we do have to play bad teams, don't be afraid or too proud to go on the road (like Troy this year).
Do we play GAST again next year?

I agree on the H&H with Samford, especially since Padgett has them trending in the right direction.

But he's right. This is a basketball thread. No harm in starting another thread related to the football schedule

RE: Future Basketball Schedules
No, Haase does not give a crap about a message board thread. Read what was posted - there are multiple threads going about basketball and how to amp up interest in it, and our own fans try to turn this one into a football thread. Clark's got that covered, and it will be announced when he's ready.
9911, you can bet your bottom dollar that the assistant coach who works scheduling has worn out the phones to the mid-majors that would make attractive matchups, the MWC, MVC, as well as trying to get P5 games, and that Haase has worked his connections for those as well.

I just jumped at the chance for some good snark.

I believe you guys, I just find it hard to understand why a team like Belmont, that is always needing quality wins, wouldn't jump at the chance to have a home and home with us. It's beneficial to both teams, I don't understand it I guess.
I'd rather play Belmont once in Nashville and once in Birmingham every year than have to see a school with an enrollment in the hundreds on the schedule ever again.
