Memphis proved last year success is not measured by your OOC schedule as many thought.

It helps to schedule well but you still have to win. Penny has an issue with the second part.

 

[Bill Lowery]

Wichita State is playing at Kentucky. I hope we play a couple of top teams, although I’m sure they’ll be on the road. WSU also plays USC.

 

[Loca5174]

As of today, the following have schedules out

ECU - OOC only
Memphis - OOC Only
USF - OOC only
Temple - MTE's only
Tulane - OOC only
Wichita State - 5 OOC Opponents

The conference Schedules are not out as of yet either so therefor no ones schedule is technically out.

I am about to make an updated post on the Conference and the MTE situation as I can find it. that will be on the MTE Thread

 

[Loca5174]

So took a look and the schedule last year came out on 9/25. First game was 11/3. This year first games are on 11/2 so if they do the same as last year we should see a schedule in about 3 weeks

 

[Loca5174]

November 16 we have western Kentucky at home for the home and home series. 7 days later we have Oregon State in Palm Springs in the Acrisure series

 

[Loca5174]

We also have Oral Roberts at home on November 11. Schedule is getting closer and it is looking good so far

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Four or five games to go and we'll probably get the dregs of opponents on those last 40% of our schedule.

 

[Henry Kendall]

I would have hoped a 30 win season would have made us a more attractive opponent.

 

[Loca5174]

I would have hoped a 30 win season would have made us a more attractive opponent.

We are getting better teams on our schedule. Western Kentucky is a decent school and we had to have them on the return home and home.

we definitely got the best teams in the two tournaments we are playing in this year. Out of the 5 teams on our schedule so far excluding ORU they had an average NET of 113. That is a really good average NET considering what we faced last year. I am cautiously excited about the rest of the non conference. That is where we will see how attractive we were

 

[Loca5174]

Wichita State and UAB now have their OOC schedules out

ECU - OOC only
Memphis - OOC Only
USF - OOC only
Temple - MTE's only
Tulane - OOC only
Tulsa - MTE only
Wichita State - OOC only
UAB - OOC only

 

[nevadanatural]

NIU has announced that they will be playing at Tulsa on November 5 so that’s one more game we know.

Now, since we have higher net teams on the schedule , it remains important that we win most of them.

 

[Gmoney4WW]

i have a feeling the last 4 will bring out net down.

Mississippi state November 20

 

[Loca5174]

This is turning into a great schedule

10/23 - @ OKLAHOMA STATE (Exhibition)
11/5 - Northern Illinois
11/11 - Oral Robers
11/16 - Western Kentucky
11/20 - vs MISSISSIPPI STATE (neutral arena in Jackson, MS)
11/23 - vs OREGON STATE (Palm Springs)
11/24 - vs ILLINOIS STATE (Palm Springs)
12/19 - vs UTAH STATE (Frisco, TX)
12/21 - vs SAN FRANCISCO (Frisco, TX)

I think these games alone can get us an at large bid. As long as we are in the top couple of places in the American. Our SOS should be fire.

 

[Loca5174]

Looks like we can add 4 or 5 more games to the schedule so expect some SWAC teams or CUSA teams

We are playing OSU in an exhibition?

 

[Loca5174]

Yep and it’s not one of those closed door ones. Apparently if you go to the NIT championship game, people want to play you. Lol

So far only one actual road game and technically one neutral that really is an away game with Mississippi State

our out of town schedule is much better than our home schedule. lol. The home ones are must wins imo

 

[nevadanatural]

Based on last year’s results this is a way better schedule than we’ve seen in a while. With only 3-4 games to go I don’t think he can possibly junk it up much. This should be an at-large worthy schedule if we can win 20-25 games.

Even with 4 SW NE Oklahoma Christian Jucos on the schedule it is already way better than last year.

 

[Loca5174]

Rice is putting out schedule. I do anticipate the full schedule within the next 10 days

ECU - OOC only
Memphis - OOC Only
USF - OOC only
Temple - MTE's only
Tulane - OOC only
Tulsa - Partial OOC
Wichita State - OOC only
UAB - OOC only
Rice - OOC only

 

[Loca5174]

So I did some light reading and in 2026-27 they upped the number of games you can schedule to 32 games. The MTE used to be a 3-1 for the exemptions but as of this season they are no longer exempt and all games are now counted towards the schedule. We will have 18 games in our Conference Schedule and currently we have 9 games in our OOC. That means we can schedule up to 5 more games

10/23 - @ OKLAHOMA STATE (Exhibition)
11/5 - Northern Illinois
11/11 - Oral Robers
11/16 - Western Kentucky
11/20 - vs MISSISSIPPI STATE (neutral arena in Jackson, MS)
11/23 - vs OREGON STATE (Palm Springs)
11/24 - vs ILLINOIS STATE (Palm Springs)
12/6 - @ MISSOURI STATE
12/19 - vs UTAH STATE (Frisco, TX)
12/21 - vs SAN FRANCISCO (Frisco, TX)

 

[nevadanatural]

It’s looking like most of those will be December games also.

 

[I.I.]

I think we are down to the last few days and are actually waiting on the American to announce so we only have to present it once.

 

[dlsnid]

Has anybody been to practice how are they looking?

 

[Loca5174]

I think we are down to the last few days and are actually waiting on the American to announce so we only have to present it once.

I expect it Monday or Tuesday.
