Yeah, that's where our games against Eastern Michigan, South Florida, Howard, and Indiana come from. A made up preseason "classic" that guarantees everyone 1 home game and the P5 team 4 home games.

Just curious.I come in peace. Ft. Wayne state?,Eastern Indiana---these schools do not exist.

You might mean Wayne St.(a DII school in Detroit) or IPFW who now goes by Fort Wayne.

Eastern IND.? You MIGHT mean ETSU--East Tennessee State(RPI-55 last year).

I like it. Tough road games but your RPI would shoot up. FGCU at home is fun and getting Rice and UNT is nice too.

And we will probably lose 75% of those games.

Home: Davidson, Charlotte, Hartford, South Florida
Away: Ohio State, VCU, James Madison, Hampton, Western Carolina,
Neutral: Puerto Rico Tip-Off w/ Iowa State, Illinois State, South Carolina, Boise State, Tulsa, Western Michigan and UTEP

This is our best home schedule in a long time. Add in the Puerto Rico Tip-Off and it's looking really solid overall.

Yea I agree for the most part. BYU won't over look us as we beat them in the NIT in their floor. Alabama basketball is nothing like their football and should be winnable. Creighton will be tough.

Got some great of opportunities with FGC, Rice and of course UNT to draw attendance. Loyola Marymount would be a dud game, but should be our homecoming. With the hype spillover from last year, coupled with great non-conference games, UTA could (and maybe should) set attendance records this year.

Cajun's non conference (excluding exhibition):
Home: Louisiana College, Savannah State, McNeese, Loyola-N.O., UNO, Southeastern Louisiana
Away: Ole Miss, Nicholls State, Louisiana Tech at Ruston, Clemson
Neutral: Cayman Islands Classic (Iowa, Wyoming/South Dakota State, TBA)

We haven't released ours yet but Wake is coming to Conway and we are playing a tournament in the Bahamas.

us (georgia southern) also plays wake on nov 10 not sure of the rest i know they were having a hard time getting home games i know we don't play coastal georgia this year look like no d1 home games until sun belt play

Quote:Alabama basketball is nothing like their football and should be winnable

Definitely winnable but Alabama should be much improved this year. CBS has them #19 in their preseason ranking.

Maybe it is an anti-SEC bias, and an anti-Alabama bias within the SEC, but I have a hard time thinking they are #19, and that's based on nothing but prior knowledge. Not saying we are going to win, but UA might be overrated.
