USM basketball schedule released
Let the jokes and such begin. Rust, Blue Mountain, William Carey and then at Alabama A&M.....Maybe as an exhibition but not as a regular season game.
Southern University New Orleans (SUNO)
@ Michigan
Blue Mountain (part of Pentagon Showcase series)
@ Sanford Pentagon Showcase @ Sioux Falls, SD **games vs South Dakota, Youngstown St, Northern Colorado**
@ South Alabama
Rust
Troy
@ Alabama A&M
William Carey
@ Florida St
vs Mississippi St (played in Jackson, MS)
"This will be one of the most challenging schedules we've had since I've been here, both in and out of conference play," Sadler said.

I honestly thought Blue Mountain was just EaglePost-ese for Boise State until a few days ago.

So basically usm scheduled half their ooc with games they'll win and half they have no chance in. Too bad many of the ones they'll win won't count for rpi, so for rpi purposes they'll have a very low winning percentage.

Rust is super small. Got my first Nuke on it actually. Really easy to camp at the top with some Harriers and Chopper Gunners.

I thought Southern Miss had ECU coming to their place in mid-December as part of a home and home?

Hooo hooo HOOOOLLLD on there a second, buddy. Doc Sadler has been losing to schools like that (or going to overtime with them) every year he's been here. however, according to the homers that love some Doc, he should have his most talented team this year. sooooo, maybe we will actually win a few of those games.

Never got into the first person shooter games. Usually just stick to playing NCAA 14 and occasionally Madden.

How in the hell does this conference raise it's profile with schedules like this? Can't the conference do anything about this?

Not saying all of the teams that Southern Miss plays are acceptable but have you checked ODU's schedule?
Christopher Newport
Towson
Maryland Eastern Shore
Fairfield
Norfolk State
What that old saying about glass houses?

The only bad one there is UMES. Norfolk State is usually decent (and also local).
Towson had an RPI of 92 last season and Fairfield was above .500 in the MAAC which is a better basketball conference than C-USA.

The point was raised about "raising the conference profile". If the common fan doesn't know who teams are (D1 or not), is that accomplishing that goal?
