Not officially out yet but here is what we know:

At FGCU on 11/11
At Puerto Rico 11/16 - 11/19 (Boise State, Appalachian State, UTEP, Iowa State, Tulsa, Western Michigan, South Carolina)
At BYU on 12/6
At Ole Miss on 12/16
At Nevada on 12/29

At Home:
Tulsa 12/2
Murray State
UIC

Something interesting is for the second year in a row we have the opportunity to play Tulsa twice. Tulsa and ISU have been playing each other a lot lately and if you look at our recruits offers you'll see we have offered a lot of the same kids. Will be fun to watch Elijah Clarance vs Eljiah Joiner at Redbird Arena this year.

I believe the Tulsa game is 12/2.

 

[Phantom]

Looks a little less sexy with Florida State out of the PR tourney, but still shaping up to be solid (and much better than last year's.) Now we just need to not have any bad losses AND hopefully grab a big win or two. We'll have our chances. Curious to see who the remaining game(s) are.

Not saying the games won't be tough, just saying it lacks some marquee names. In other words, none of these games scream "road trip" to me.

Meh.

Nice road schedule, but home is "meh" foe sure. Murray St., UIC and Tulsa? Not much to get excited about there.

I think they are better than previous opponents, especially Murrray and Tulsa, but I'm hoping there is one more good team coming to redbird next year.

I hope ISU realizes that in order to have any chance at an at-large bid we will need to win this Tournament.

Historically we have been a slow-starting team. Can't happen. Need new guys to step up immediately and be ready to take down a school that made the Final Four last year.

 

[cubird]

They were damn good last year. Older guys that get in your face and beat u up. Take after their coach Bad Ass Frank Martin.

 

[RicoBryson]

South Carolina will be a great litmus test for our team.

Sounds like ISU .... other than the Bad Ass coach part. Frank Martin is just scarier than Dan Muller.

That likely means we'll have another Ferris State like home game.

 

[ISU_DirtyBird]

Was Iowa State always in the field of teams? I didn't recall seeing them in there the last time I looked. I just remember hearing about FSU dropping out.

 

[cubird]

Will there be a closed preseason scrimmage with another team this year?
