Future Schedule

[Adunk33]

Underwhelming overall for sure, but I think its a solid schedule for THIS team. Some winnable games in there to hopefully get some confidence before conference starts.

Birds are still looking for one more game. I'd take another buy game.

Missouri State non-con:

Home - SE Missouri St., Alabama St., BYU, Oral Roberts, So Dakota St, Central Arkansas, the EVANGEL University
Away - Sam Houston St, Arkansas-Little Rock, St. Mary's (Cal), plus Naples tournament vs. Long Beach St., Murray St. or E.Tenn,

Is that better than ISU?

 

[MadBird]

Loyola non-con:

Home: Coppin St., Florida Gulf Coast, Chicago St., UIC, Roosevelt (Roosevelt???), Norfolk St.
Away: DePaul, Vanderbilt, Davidson plus Bahamas tournament vs. Michigan St., then either Auburn or UConn.

Away pretty good, home not so much.

Drake non-con:

Home: Drury (Drury??), Richmond, St. Thomas (1st year DI), Jackson St., Chicago St., Mount Marty (Mount Marty??)
Away: Neb-Omaha, Clemson, St. Louis plus Orlando tournament vs. Belmont and others.

Better than ISU?

No but it should be because they have everyone back and are talking about contending for league title and post season appearance.

Disappointing when you make NCAA and have almost everyone back to not be able to get better games than that.

exactly why they arent getting games

They could do much better than they did. Besides Richmond they have a trash home home schedule. They should have been able to schedule more mid majors of higher caliber.

1 A10
2 non D1 schools
2 schools historically +325 RPI
1 first year D1 school

Given their team they could have done better. They better hope that they get to play the right teams in Orlando

Roosevelt bought Robert Morris/Chicago. Why? Beats me.

Howard has a huge prospect, right. I think he wanted play at an HBCU. Or, was that last year. Makes it a little better, I guess. But, sucks.

It was Makur Maker who committed in 2020, but their season got canceled so he didn't get to showcase himself and pulled himself out of the draft. He chose to play pro somewhere else rather than return to Howard.
