Wins versus that cast are viewed worse than losses against decent teams. You don't build culture that way. You build culture by playing athletes that make your players work hard and come together, to foster team pride. We can't afford this in basketball. The conference needs to institute its own culture of competition. Even is that means a few more arse kickings.

UTRGV was part of the Emerald Coast Classic and the worst team on this seasons schedule, Bryant, is part of the Gotham Classic RE: Will your OOC basketball schedule be American Strong? - DrBox - 07-05-2017 01:03 PM (05-15-2017 08:32 PM)billybobby777 Wrote:In the last 5 years, Tulane has played the following home and homes: Wake Forest, G Tech, Miss State, Washington, St Johns, North Carolina (1/2).(05-13-2017 04:22 PM)C0|db|00ded Wrote: Nobody in this league travels to a fellow P6 school's gym without a return game do they?

Even if aac teams beat USF our RPI will still go down because USF RPI will be pathetically bad as a result of this OOC. So yes it does impact the rest of the league, even when we beat USF down. After seeing the fball OOC and now the Bball ooc I am wondering if this is a new scheduling trend for USF?

I suspect we have both in this thread. Thinking only about the OOC is a terrible way of going about building a winning culture. All this schedule will do is falsely build up confidence by feasting on cupcakes that will then get shredded when the main course arrives and half the conference beats you by 30. Better to start the year on a low note taking a few beatings when everyone is learning the system and build to a peak come tourney time than to try and start at an artificial peak created by beating up on Directional Techs and Small Denominational Us and sustain it all season.

Definitely the way to go - except some coaches are afraid they will be exposed & soon out of a job. But NCSt/Valvano 26-10, 8-6 conf only to win the NC as a #6 seed is the poster child in favor of playing a tough schedule. RE: Will your OOC basketball schedule be American Strong? - justinhub2003 - 07-05-2017 03:32 PM Im Just glad UC only plays USF one time. IF we beat them by a 1000, our RPI and Kenpom will still drop.

Wisconsin South Carolina Villanova St. Joe's Charleston Classic opponents @Georgia @GW @La Salle @Penn Going to be a pretty good OOC schedule. RE: Will your OOC basketball schedule be American Strong? - robertfoshizzle - 07-11-2017 10:59 AM Temple consistently plays one of, if not the toughest OOC schedule in the conference. The schedule above only allows for 2 buy games and is a healthy mix of tough home, road, and neutral site games. I wish more teams in the league would follow Temple's example. RE: Will your OOC basketball schedule be American Strong? - shocks21 - 07-11-2017 11:22 AM I agree, but several of their very attractive games are because of the Philly schools they play every year. They have a very good and unique thing going for them in that regard. RE: Will your OOC basketball schedule be American Strong? - justinhub2003 - 07-11-2017 11:27 AM Just say Houston has released its OOC Schedule. https://twitter.com/UHCougarMBK/status/884440845906300928 Highlights include: Providence (Neutral Court) Arkansas @LSU @Saint Louis They also have a shot to play either Colorado or Wake, assuming Houston or both of those teams don't lose early. Its an ok Non conference schedule in my opinion. And By far the best in the Sampson era. Houston eliminated itself from the tourney just based on non conference schedule in the last 2 years. To get any respect in this league you need to schedule tough. Houston at least made some strides but still manage to play at least 2 teams in the 300+ of Kenpom. I think they need to go 3-1 against their top tier games in non con RE: Will your OOC basketball schedule be American Strong? - robertfoshizzle - 07-11-2017 11:30 AM (07-11-2017 11:22 AM)shocks21 Wrote: I agree, but several of their very attractive games are because of the Philly schools they play every year.

But teams should be striving for a minimum of 5 top 100 type games, if not more.

They add wisconson, South Carolina and Georgia. A few years ago temple whooped Kansas’s ass. They are fearless in scheduling RE: Will your OOC basketball schedule be American Strong? - HuskyU - 07-11-2017 11:55 AM UCONN Non-Conference (Last season's RPI) Nova (3) @ Arizona (5) Oregon -PK80- (7) Monmouth (51) Syracuse (86) @ Auburn (107) Boston U (187) Columbia (264) Colgate (291) Coppin State (336) -PK80- Michigan St (47) or Georgetown (115) UNC (1), Arkansas (28), Oklahoma (162), or Portland St (268) RE: Will your OOC basketball schedule be American Strong? - pesik - 07-11-2017 11:58 AM (07-11-2017 11:27 AM)justinhub2003 Wrote: Just say Houston has released its OOC Schedule. new orleans and fairfield are also good rpi teams Providence (Neutral Court) Arkansas @LSU @Saint Louis colorado/wake (Neutral Court) New Orleans Fairfield we can afford 2 losses in that bunch and still be comfortable...3 losses is survivable but would likely requires a great conference record RE: Will your OOC basketball schedule be American Strong? - justinhub2003 - 07-11-2017 01:27 PM (07-11-2017 11:58 AM)pesik Wrote:(07-11-2017 11:27 AM)justinhub2003 Wrote: Just say Houston has released its OOC Schedule. lt really depends on what games are losses. Ideally Houston needs to beat Arkansas and protect home court, then either steal a win from @LSU or @Saint Louis or Providence. In those 4 games 2-2 is a must but really 3-1 would be optimal. If Houston can only drop the game to providence and come away with 2 road wins and a win against Arkansas and doesn't lose any games they shouldn't lose, it will help them a ton. Like I said, at least they didn't load the schedule with tons of really bad teams. I just hate to see any 300+ RPI teams on any AAC schedule. If you beat them by a 1000, you still drop in rankings and it hurts your overall schedule. If UC ends up with a few games against 300+ competition, Ill be pretty pissed as well. We have too good of a team to do that. That bad for both UC and Houston, is that were both displaced this season in another Arena while our's is getting redone. So getting high level buy games in, is very very expensive. You have to pay top dollar for them to come and also pay to use the Arena and because its further away from campus, also take a hit on sales. UC has used this season to kinda get in some high quality road and neutral games to offset what will probably be some ****** buy games. So far we play @UCLA, @Xavier, Miss State, Florida*, Buffalo* then most likely another neutral with Richmond and Iowa. I imagine after its all lower level Home buy games RE: Will your OOC basketball schedule be American Strong? - DrBox - 07-11-2017 07:03 PM Tough to get information on the Green Wave Schedule All I can find is @ UNC, FSU in Tampa, and Iowa State in a tourney in the Junkanoo Jam. Game 2 will be either Central Michigan or SD State. I'm excited for the season - don't know how good we'll be, but we have much bigger and better athletes on the team than we've had in 15 years. |
