I wonder how big of a check South Carolina will cut to get out of the return game. It's the $EC way.

If Frank Martin remains their coach, there won't be a buyout. Now if he's terminated...who knows.

I think that's the biggest question. They closed out the season winning 5 of their final 7, which would make me think he gets another year.

Even if he does get let go in Columbia, he's a guy that's been to an elite eight and a final four, he'll be courtside somewhere if he wants to.

Has there been anything about a potential spot for feast week? I figured we would have heard something by now on that front.

Those usually finalized in May and June.

Got to wonder if our success winning CUSA tournament and getting an NCAA bid will increase our likelihood of getting some more P5 matchups. Still would like to see us look at series with programs like Murray State or Belmont who are usually successful and have good NET rankings.

They completed their H&H with Samford this season so it's definitely doable to make it happen

When does the full schedule get released every year usually?[/align]

Usually in August.

Last year it was released on July 30th. Don't expect it to get any better. The AAC didn't release their Men's Basketball Schedule until September 30th last year.

Also, the date for the South Carolina game is back in the air. SC is now playing in the Charleston Classic which coincides with the original November 17th date.

South Carolina game is slated for Wed. December 14 according to Jon Rothstein on Twitter

20 game conference schedule will limit out of conference schedule…

20-game CUSA schedule? Yikes.

Yep…

Why 20 games? How many do we normally have?

11 team conference this season. 20 games would mean playing all other members twice. The conference schedule has been anywhere between 14 & 18 games.

That being said, I haven't found any official confirmation of a 20 game schedule, but with the backwards leadership of this backward conference it wouldn't surprise me.

Only one more season left to endure.

Added home game vs. South Alabama - date and time to be announced.

Glad to have South on the schedule. Hope its a HH. Always a fun trip to Mobile.
