That means there’s likely one more game on the schedule

This would be awesome. SLU is a very good and tough team. I sure hope they play in Logan this year.

Very disappointed that our very own Saint Louis Billikens insider (SLB) wasn't the one to break this news to the board.

I got to share the fame of breaking news on schedules.

Did you guys hear? No UVU

SLB · Post by **SLB** » August 23rd, 2023, 2:10 pm

The only thing outside the unconfirmed part of LMU and ETSU has not been announced is our opening day opponent. It is very possible that we announce our non-conference schedule very soon.

Do we not play at Weber this year? We typically alternate home and home with them.
They will not be on our schedule.
Which side doesn’t want it?
I don’t know if it is a long-term decision, but I have heard that it was definitely our decision to end the series. I can see SLB still has high hopes, but it is not happening this year.

I always don't rule whatever until it is over with schedules. There are always surprises.

By my calculations, November 11 to a date near the end of November is roughly two weeks.

Thanks for reading the whole (very long

) tweet and bringing the last part to my attention, which I obviously overlooked.

Let's see - Ags are at Bradley 11/11 as you stated -
Bahamas the week of Thanksgiving - is that correct?
That would indicate a likely weeknight game in StL 11/27-11/30 - which isn't optimal for me 7 hours is too much to drive on a work day- and I don't think I'll be able to take 2 days off in midweek on a monthend week.

We have again on paper a strong SOS with high grade mid-major teams.
Bradley and St. Louis have the potential of being Q1 games.

I wish the SLU game was in Logan this year. Still a really good home/home for the Aggies.

It is tricky to get one because we win a lot of games.

Winning a lot of games will likely be a pre-requisite to getting one this year.

I wonder if we got a P6 game after the LMU schedule go without the Aggies listed (we could still end up playing them in that CIC tournament)

If you haven't guessed already, I'm guessing we meet a power conference team in a postseason tournament. At least, I hope so.

it seems like we always do, whether in the big dance or NIT. the last 4 post season opponents have been from power conferences. Missouri, Oregon, Texas Tech and Washington.

Which is why we need to schedule more of those games in the regular season. So we'll stop acting scared when we get to the Big Dance.

If we can’t get h and h with them, we need to just go play a few of them on the road each year. At least 2 or 3 in my opinion. I think these next couple years we will have a mentally tougher team with coach S. Sounds like we will have a defensive minded, more physical team and I think it will be better in the long run. Don’t like how most teams just try to have a 3 point shooting contest most games now.

I wonder if we won't end up with a weird neutral court game just to fill the dance card. Last year Wyoming played Santa Clara at SLCC at 2 pm on a Wednesday, just because they couldn't get enough teams to come to Laramie that year. And I suppose if you have to have a neutral court OOC with no likelihood of having enough fans come to justify renting the Delta Center, or even the Maverik Center, then SLCC on a weekday afternoon is as good as anywhere.

This post makes me sad. Having games like that make no sense for college basketball. Games should be played on campus in front of students and fans.

I completely agree. I know it's easier said than done, but I would be completely on board with doing more true road one-and-dones with GOOD teams. Even if that means a loss. Getting experience against a couple top-tier Big East or ACC or Big 12 team would go a long ways in being ready for the tournament, IMO.

Plus, with how NET works, even a loss generally won't hurt you much in that type of a game.

The problem with loading up the schedule with road games that are 1 and done is that it means fewer home games...which means that season ticket holders aren't happy and I'm guessing we typically make more money on a home game than we would with a 1 and done road game.

I get that, and I don't mean to say that we should load our schedule up with those. But IMO playing a couple road games against tournament-level P5 teams would be much more useful than playing in the Diamond Head or Cayman Islands (unless you can get into a tournament with an actual strong field), though its hard to blame anyone for wanting to go to Hawai'i over West Lafayette.

Will a p5 schedule a home game against a less than 30 net score and risk a loss?

The issue is that if we beat someone like Kansas, Gonzaga, or etc. then we take away their shot at a 1 seed and shine in the national basketball program.
