Well, we got 2 more rings than you. :-) Seriously though, it's a make or break game. ODU has a great team this year so this game will tell us a lot about where we are. Can't wait.
On our schedule was Temple, Dayton, VCU, and Richmond. Usually top 50 teams.
Also W&M and Indiana State, often top 100 teams.
The scheduling wasn't bad. Just happens that every one of those teams are having abnormally poor seasons except W&M.
JMU, Fairfield, and Norfolk State are also having abnormally poor seasons. They are all usually in the 100-200 range and in the mix for their conference titles. This year all 3 are among the worst in the country.
We can only play the games. We cannot control how the opponent performs.

I agree with you; that's not a poor schedule on paper. Just because it didn't work out the way you'd hoped doesn't mean there was a problem with the scheduling. You can't control people having down years. What if you had a schedule this year with Baylor, Pitt, Wisconsin, Cal, and Georgetown?
Seems strong on paper, but they're a combined 50-58 overall and 9-36 in conference. Options are even more limited when your schedule is often dictated by higher budget programs, too.
Just being considerate. Empty Sue, by reputation, is a melancholy soul. We don't want to trigger a full-on opioid crisis by subjecting her to a large dose of blue.

White outs don't work out to well for ODU when hosting Middle Tennessee...

I haven't taken my son to a home game in which we lost since Southern Miss in JJ's first year. We attended JJ's 2 biggest wins: VCU and the Freeman half-courter. We will be at both games this week. Hopefully he continues to bring good Karma at the Ted.
