2023-24 Non-Conference Schedule

[Manchester Matt]

I feel like this will either be a legit announcement for an attractive P5 buy game, or intense sarcasm in setting up a thrilling matchup vs. a DII

Bet on the former.

Bet on the former.

Didn't we already get the thrilling D3 matchup?

Tuesday is not over yet...

Who are we playing UCLA lol

[DoubleDeuce]

Who are we playing UCLA lol

That's a big 10 team, should be drivable.

It’s loading…

I think UCLA has one more year in PAC 12 ... either way not them .... another P5 team.

We'll find out if Antonio Reeves really is an SEC player or could help the Redbirds.

Ah you know something don’t ya?

I'd be fine going back to UK if that's what this hint implies. We played pretty well there last time. Not as good as Evansville did of course, but we hung in.

It would be nice if the pay game matches the compensation he received last year. Confident that will not be the case.

 

[Manchester Matt]

The noncon Schedule should be released today.

See you soon, Antonio Reeves.

This is a solid non-conference. I just wish we could've avoided a home opener vs Lourdes

Pedon throwing his Ohio buddy a favor.

If you going to play D2/3 game, make it the opening game to knock off some of the rust

We're still anticipating an exhibition sometime at the end of October, whether that is IWU or someone else. That should be the "knock the rust off" game. I understand they've gotta fill out the schedule but tough to start with an NAIA opponent and then head down to SLU. Talk about a 180 in mindset for the guys. I'm fine with it being on the schedule, just would have rather it been swapped with the EIU game or the first game back from the MTE. Though, given the break in the schedule there, I am assuming we'll get two conference games in the week of 11/27.
