2nd year in a row. We played them last year in their first year as a D-1 university. We won by 6 points.

I have no problem playing in state teams instead of the Savanah St of the world. Would love to do another 2 for 1 with JSU.

Same. Looking at this schedule I'd like to see us play one more tough road game and see if we can get a decent mid major H&H, who cares where it starts. A non D-1 and two SWAC teams to close it out will be very disappointing.

Either austin peay or alabama state in tampa after Duquesne.

UNA has a decent non-conference schedule this year. They also play South Carolina, Indiana, Samford, La Tech, Troy, and Florida State.

I'm a fan of that. It's called the St. Pete Shootout but I can't find a website for the event. AP & Duq are both referencing it on their nonconference releases though. Austin Peay & Duquesne should both be ~top-150 in KenPom so that's a good, winnable challenge before conference play gets going. Hopefully also gives the kids a nice beach day.

If those schedules are correct, we aren't playing Austin Peay. We'll play Alabama State with a final NET ranking of 330.

At least it’s neutral site?

UAB at Troy, November 7
