what do y'all think about the basketball schedule format?

[The Fatboy]

Each team plays every sec team once and three permanent teams twice. State's permanents are Mississippi, Alabama and S. Carolina.

That we are fortunate. That's about as good as we could have hoped for.

I like that trio for us.

Keep in mind that we are also playing two other teams twice, but on a rotating basis

My guesses for the other two teams this year are LSU and Florida. I'm basing that off the fact that we haven't played those two twice since 2013. Aside from our permanent opponents, those are the two teams that we have gone the longest without playing against twice.

Agree ..

We are fortunate but personally, would rather swap South Carolina for Auburn .. 'cause I just like beating Auburn in anything and everything.

I liked the old format better from an overall conference standpoint. You played your biggest rival twice a year and every other team 4 times in 3 years. This way you rotate your non-permanent opponents in 5 years rather than 3. But from an MSU standpoint, I like it. Playing USC & Bama more often and UK and FL less is a good deal for us.

LSU should have been one of the three with Alabama and UMiss. They are the three teams we have played the most.

I wish LSU was one of the permanent teams too...BR is an easy drive for me and gives me one more opportunity to watch the Dawgs play. Besides, it's fun to strut into the Maravich Center in Maroon!
