MSU bball, December Exhibition?

[KentuckyDawg13]

Got tix for the MSU/Cinci game @ UNK. Was looking at the North Georgia schedule, the team we play this Saturday before the Cinci game on Tuesday, and on NG’s calendar (http://ungathletics.com/schedule.aspx?path=mbball) it states it is an Exhibition game. On our HAILSTATE schedule, it does not state this.
Is the game this Saturday considered a real game or an exhibition? Not that it will matter for the no-showing fans at the Hump.

UNG is a Division II team. It doesn't count for or against us. It is an exhibition. We played Belhaven in December a few years back like this.

I think we can count the win on our official record, but the game won’t be recognized by the RPI or the selection committee. Not positive though.

MTSU has done this several times. They play a DII or even a NCCAA in the non-conference in the regular season annually and count it as a regular season game. The non-DI school typically counts the game as an exhibition because they want the money, but not the loss. Matter of fact, MTSU did the exact same thing with Trevecca this year.

You are correct, it does not count on your record for RPI or the selection committee (I guess unless you lose the game).
