I know this- and this was one of the ways Bartow's schedule was revised. I simply disagree with this mindset especially when we need to pay our coach significantly more than has historically been the case. And with the improved team that we have now, I don't consider these games an automatic loss. Win some of the games, and that is how you get an impressive RPI and a decent seed. Lose the games, the RPI doesn't matter anyway and the experience still prepares you for the conference tournament.

2013-14 we had Morehead St., Winthrop, Stephen F Austin, Marshall, Austin Peay, and Valpo at home. That is a good home schedule. 2015-16 we played Green Bay, UNCW, Eastern Kentucky, Morehead St. at home. Again, I was excited about that schedule.

More recently, 2016-17 was total crap home schedule except for the UT game. Similarly last year we had terrible home schedule other than Northern Kentucky.
