Three home OOC games for CSU. I wonder how muchone day for the Notre Dame and Indiana games. Most of the OOC games are within one day's drive. No hotel rooms and less gas. Considering what they had to work with, this is not too bad.

SIUE is tough, right gleadley?

Downright terrifying.

I agree with you, Rob. Compared to last years 6 “guarantee games” it may be a sign they’re trying to actually have a competitive schedule. Granted, still a ton of road games but all are within a reasonable distance. Throw in the fact the tournament at what I’m assuming is ETSU.. there may be another couple quality games in there.

Zorich mentioned he wants to see the amount of Home games increase so hopefully that’ll happen in 2019-20.

I agree. Good schedule, all three home games are D1 games and a lot of bus trips. They have a period after the November 24th road game at Bradley where they don't leave Cook County until their December 19th game at Western Illinois. A good schedule for Chicago State.

Seems like the last couple years UVU and UMKC always deliver the OOC schedules super late, like mid/late September

Thanks. I know this is an MBB thread but our WBB schedule is worth mentioning:

#2 Baylor, #8 Texas (in the Fieldhouse!), and #14 Texas A&M.

Updated UTRGV and UVU. Wondering if UVU is going to play any home games this year..

I'm guessing the new arena for UTRGV isn't ready? All home games, including Oklahoma, are at UTRGV Field house

It is. It actually opens up in like 6 days. Look at the bert ogden arena thread in the utrgv section. Mostly everything is speculated and explained there.

I really like that schedule

NMSU has done a good job getting big names to play them in world class venues (Illinois in Chicago; Kansas in KC). It shows the perception those programs have of NMSU that they’re willing to spend a one-off “special event” on the Aggies.

I like this Aggie schedule but I'm not sure it lends itself to bolstering NMSU's RPI (or NET now) for NCAA tournament purposes. Last year, NMSU had neutral games against Illinois, Davison, Miami, and USC; with NMSU winning three of them. This season, outside of the Kansas game (which is probably not winnable), there are very few opportunities to impress the NCAA selection committee. Beating Drake, San Diego, and/ or Washington State on a neutral court won't carry the same clout as beating Miami, Illinois, and Davison a year ago.

NMSU should beat Washington State by 30/35 points. They shouldn't be very good again this year.

BTW, WSU is also in the same Las Vegas tourney as NMSU. We could play them twice in one season.

Seattle U and NMSU have now released their full basketball schedules.
