Southern Miss is the only team to get two home games on the weekend

They will probably still struggle to average 4K attendance. I think they have a huge baseball series on the first weekend, and that will pull many fans from their basketball game.

True, but they have Sunday and Wed away games before the last Sat game.

Looking at the schedules some more, I think ours is the most favorable.

The favorable part is we have 2 game cushion. We can't rely on that because every team we play will be coming after us. The only team I can see going 4 -0 is us or WKU. UAB could sneak up and go 3-1.

Each team offers something to be concerned about.

WKU has the best talent

USM is on the biggest winning streak in the conference

UTSA has a gym with bad juju

UAB is a tough place for ODU to win

We have the best home atmosphere and top talent. UNCC game showed we can play consistently for 40 min.

Let's keep winning. One game at a time. 28-6 then see what happens in big tourney. Go Monarchs!

I am glad WKU is at the TED because I think they are the toughest of the four games. I am also glad USM is at home because they are on a six game win streak and the TED should take them out of any comfort zone their home court might provide. We have won two in a row at UAB, so I think the “mystique” of that place is a thing of the past. UTSA is a good matchup for us, and we had them on the ropes. I feel like the fact that it was the third game on the road in five days, and the fifth in ten played a huge part in our not being able to stem their comeback.

We have never been in a better position for a stretch run in this conference.

GO MONARCHS!!!

Game times and broadcast schedule (EST):

2/23 ODU vs WKU Stadium 1PM
2/28 ODU @ UTSA CBSSN 8PM
3/06 ODU vs USM CBSSN on Facebook 7PM
3/09 ODU @ UAB CBSSN on Facebook 3PM

I hate that we don't have the CBSSN game at home, but we do dodge having to play on beIN Sports and the hated CUSA.tv, so there's that.

I like BEIN Sports. They do a nice job with their broadcast, and all I have to do is turn on the TV and select the channel.

I am hoping our 2 away games will get purchased and broadcasted on WTVZ.

I hate that so many of our regular, dedicated fans can't make the (dreaded 1:00pm) game Saturday).

Please, anyone who can't go make sure your tickets go to good use by a Big Blue fan!!

Agree 100%!

I’d rather have our schedule. A week is enough time off. Any more than that is too much in my opinion.
