Men's Basketball scheduling

[Maroon Eagle]

Since baseball season is over, I thought I'd look to see if there's anything out there regarding men's basketball scheduling.

MSU will be hosting Oregon State (the second part of a home-and-home) and will be playing three games in the Gildan Charleston Classic in November (other teams include Boise State, College of Charleston, UCF, UTEP, Villanova, Wake Forest and Western Michigan).

Note 1: MSU, contrary to Grambling's men's basketball scheduling page, has not joined the SWAC. (seriously, see here - January 30).

Note 2: Looks like the Basketball Travelers site has gotten a little more security conscious. Only people who have registered for their board can see the board.

What is the "Basketball Travelers site"?

Thanks

We got left out of the SEC/Big 12 challenge for the third year in a row. That was pretty disappointing to me. Hopefully we'll be back in it for 2017-2018 and can add a good OOC game against someone like Baylor or Iowa State.

A message board (associated with Basketball Travelers which sponsors foreign tours as well as events such as Paradise Jam) where coaches can post what types (buy-home, paid-for road, home-and-home, etc.) of games that they were willing to go for and how many they needed. Until last season, it was open to the public and you could see what teams wanted.

Here's the URL: Link.

I don't think they are doing the SEC/Big12 challenge anymore.

They are still doing it and we did get left out for the third year in a row.

Howland has said a few times he's not a fan of participating in conference challenges. Sounded like sour grapes last year when we were left out of it. I wonder if he was genuine and if that had anything to do with us being left out this year.
