I get scheduling either EMU or Bridgewater but don't get scheduling both.....my best guess is it was when putting the schedule together JMU had to schedule both to get to 5 home games prior to CAA play or they could have got another game but would have been a road game. I think playing in these 3 game tournaments that someone else hosts cuts into the ability to work more/better OOC games. I get the schedule - I guess to get confidence - but this is year 3, Rowe's guys - Rowe's system - need to add up to W's. need 18+ wins and above .500 in CAA minimum this year or his seat is gonna get really hot.

I is a shame we could not keep the series going with Richmond. These are not marque games but other teams somewhat local we should try to add to the home-home mix
Liberty, Longwood, Hampton, Norfolk St, VMI, Mt Saint Marys, UMBC, Marshall (not twice in same season), UNCG, NC A&T, North Carolina Central. I am sure I left off a few but these are all 'ok' games that do not require major travel.

Sorry, but our men's program continues its journey down the crapper. The women's team is so far beyond the men's, their "local" schedule includes George Washington (home), Georgetown (home), Maryland and Wake Forest. And folks feel we should pursue Longwood and UMBC? Just when I think our fanbase couldn't possibly be decimated any more than it is.

Are these guys truly this inept at MBB, or maybe they'll shock us all and they're purposely skimping on the HC salary to save up so they can finally double-down on a big hire when the new arena opens? I just can't shake this vision of getting thumped by Oral Roberts in a shiny new empty cavern, as the latest Bourne Dialogue touts the merits of being able to host poultry symposiums and toddler beauty pageants in our $85M facility.
