Looks like a few cupcakes, hope the team likes cake.

Concerned about Louise, and UAB.
Any other time I would say we win, but no one knows what to expect.
2 SEC teams, AAC team .......gonna be tough.

If we come out 8-5 I would not consider that much of an accomplishment...

I wish they'd just hurry up and release the whole schedule!! I wish the Loserville game wasn't at the MSG. It would be nice to host them at the Forum again!

Take it game by game and tell me which ones we will win and which we will lose....based on the players each school is returning, what they did last year and the conferences they are in, the venue we play them in... etc. I looked at it that way with my friend here (an avid Memphis Tigers BB fan, though he is a UMass grad) ...and we also agreed 8-5 would be an accomplishment for us.

I think 8-5 is a decent guess. Usually, you have an idea, but I really have no clue about this team. Could be better than we think, could be awful. We just have absolutely no idea.

RE: Basketball Non-Conference Schedule is out
I think 9-4 across the 13 games. Alabama could go either way, and I have Mercer as a favorite just because it's returning 5 starters. 10-3 is definitely possible. I think anything less than 9-4 is a disappointment.

Alabama- Loss
Little Rock - Win
NOLA - Win
NKU - Win
UAB - Loss
Mercer - Loss
Samford - Win
Bryant - Win
Albany - Win
Louisville- Loss
Siena - Win
Loyola - Win
LSU - Win

That's about how I see it, but Albany and Sienna bother me a little.

A HOF coach shouldn't lose bobo games at home.

If Memphis loses to Mercer or anybody else besides Bama, Louisville, and (maybe) LSU, the head coach needs to be taken to the hotdog stand post haste.

RE: Basketball Non-Conference Schedule is out
Little Rock: Loses 6 of top 7 scorers (78% of scoring).
Likely RPI 230+ team

New Orleans: loses four of top five scorers (65% of scoring)
Likely at 200+ RPI team

NKU: Solid. Returns all but one rotation player from eight deep rotation.
Likely a top 70 RPI team.

UAB: Lose 6 of 9 rotation players. Return 47% scoring. Two leading scorers return. Return PG after missing a year w/ injury. Three nice parts return but a lot to fill in.
Probably 180+ RPI team

Mercer: return top 7 scorers from a 15-17 team.
Likely Top 150 RPI team

Albany: Return top 5 players including top 2 scorers (averaged 18 and 16 ppg last year).
About 120 RPI team

Bryant: Ouch. Lose top scorer (20.3 ppg) and third leading scorer (10.3 ppg) to transfer. Were also top two rebounders.
Close to 300 RPI team

Siena: Probably see an angry Jimmy Patsos. Lose four of top five scorers. (72% of scoring and 67% of rebounding).
Probably 200+ RPI team

Loyola (MD): Only lose one player. Tubby's son should be ready to go.
Likely a 170+ RPI team

Samford: Returns top 6 players. Adds decent transfer.
Likely top 100-125 RPI team

Looks like Northern Kentucky should be a really solid team--probably the third best OOC team (behind Bama and Louisville) Memphis plays this year.

Samford and Albany could be the kind of games that are "must win" in that they may push close to being 100 rpi teams but Memphis can't afford a slip up vs. them.

The rest should be cakewalks, with Siena, Bryan, and UNO being really bad. UAB has a lot of holes to fill.

RE: Basketball Non-Conference Schedule is out
""We've put together a strong non-conference schedule that will allow our players to develop and grow as we prepare for a very difficult league schedule in the American Athletic Conference," said Smith. "Our team will be tested early on against Alabama, who was in the NIT last season. I am also impressed by the teams we have on our schedule that played in the NCAA Tournament last season in New Orleans and Northern Kentucky. Finally, with the historic rivalry game against Louisville, we have a very competitive schedule that will entertain our fans and test our players.""

Coach them up Tubby!!

Go Tigers Go!!!

Yep, anything worse than 9-4 is seriously underachieving at Memphis.

Mercer was 15-17 last year.

Normally I'd put us a favorite over UAB, but we haven't been to Birmingham in a few years, and Bartow Arena will more than likely be pretty full for that reason. Depending of how fluid our team is, we could overachieve (compared to what most people think of our program) and end up going 11-2. Besides Louisville it's a pretty soft OOC schedule.

Mercer was 15-17 last year.

But they are returning 5 key players. We should win, but I am forecasting this as our "bad loss"

All things considered, 8-5 would be good. I stand by that and the hotdog metaphor.
