Now that we have the complete schedule, I will be looking for season predictions from Pappy and Doc. I jot them down and check them at end of season. In fact it would be good to have predictions from all those who post here. With new Coaches and so many new players, it will be quite a challenge this year.

OK. I figure we can count on Ws for Central Baptist and Centenary (2). Figure we win one of the next three on the road (3). Both UCAs (5). One of Idaho and No Ariz (6). Chalk up all ten conference home games (16). (We will lose some, but we will win some road games we shouldn't.) Ten conference road games. Odds are we should pick up at least three of those (19). Now, get a few breaks here and there, and we could get 20 wins or more. That is without doing any research on the non-conference games; just using logic.

Solid schedule, but not scary. Probably no body bag games. Only one money conference game, and TTech is not a powerhouse.

February could be brutal.

You think these people would share stuff like this with us little people?

I'm thinking 18 wins.

Do you reckon Beard will have the team pumped up to play Texas Tech? Hmm?

Little Rock released the remainder of their schedule today http://lrtrojans.com/news/2015/8/5/MBB_0805151410.aspx

LITTLE ROCK – The Little Rock men's basketball team has finalized its 2015-16 schedule, head coach Chris Beard announced on Thursday. The 11-game non-conference slate includes a home-and-home series with instate rival Central Arkansas and road matchups at San Diego State, Tulsa, DePaul and Texas Tech.

"We have a very challenging schedule," Beard said. "Our team is looking forward to the opportunity to compete against some of the best programs in college basketball, with six of our opponents playing in the postseason last year. We are excited to have 14 home games in the Jack Stephens Center with our students and fans. We also have some good regional games in our non-conference schedule, including Central Arkansas and Tulsa. Our team will be tested nightly and well-prepared once Sun Belt Conference play begins in late December."

Little Rock opens its 2015-16 season with back-to-back home games.The Trojans' season opener vs. Central Baptist will also serve as the University's Homecoming on Saturday, Nov. 14. Little Rock welcomes former Trans America Athletic Conference foe Centenary to the Jack Stephens Center on Nov. 18 as part of a doubleheader with the Trojan women's basketball team and LSU.

The Trojans hit the road for their next three games. Little Rock plays at San Diego State – coming off 27 wins and an NCAA Tournament bid – on Nov. 21 before facing East Carolina in Las Vegas as part of the Las Vegas Invitational (Nov. 26). The Trojans close the month at Tulsa on Nov. 28. Tulsa won 23 games and advanced the second round of the NIT in head coach Frank Haith's first season.

Little Rock hosts Central Arkansas at the JSC in the front half of a home-and-home series with the Bears on Dec. 1. Road games at Idaho (Dec. 5) and DePaul (Dec. 12) follow before the Trojans make the trip to Conway to face UCA at the Farris Center.

The Trojans return home to take on Northern Arizona, a 23-win team and College Insider Tournament participant in 2014-15, on Dec. 20. Little Rock closes the non-conference portion of the schedule at Texas Tech on Dec. 22. Beard spent 10 years as an assistant with the Red Raiders, including seven under legendary head coach Bobby Knight.

The Sun Belt Conference portion of the schedule begins at South Alabama on Dec. 30. A full breakdown of the 2015-16 SBC slate can be found here.

I like that the Centenary game will be part of a double header when women take on LSU. Makes that day a much better value.

Home non-conference schedule: Central Baptist, Centenary, UCA, Northern Arizona. Man! That ought have them stampeding to the Jack!

Well the road non conference schedule is good. Hopefully we can get a couple of them to the Jack next season.

The road portion is very nice. And, as you say, if these teams come to LR next year, it should be a nice package next season.
