Basketball schedule THREAD

[NorthTexasSportsNetwork]

Thought I’d start a thread for all scheduling news and rumors for basketball.

As of now:

@ Buffalo (part 2 of a home and home)

VS UMASS *Neutral in Springfield MA*

NOT CONFIRMED BUT A SERIES:

@/vs Nevada, was scheduled to be here last year but was cancelled due to BS Covid pullout from Nevada. Was slated to be in Reno this upcoming season. 
@/vs UTA, it’s been a series for a very long time, I assume it’ll happen again. Very high chances.

Rumored:

@/vs Oklahoma State, heard a rumbling about a possible game against Oklahoma State? Would be nice.

 

Be on the lookout for a MTE/neutral site in the coming weeks against a solid team.

Should be more down the road, but quite a few teams have turned down the opportunity to play us. Unfortunately teams don’t want to lose to us, and we aren’t a buy game anymore.

I expect 2 P5 teams and a solid schedule in general, like usual from Mac.

Drop any information/news if y’all have any, would be nice to see.

Glad to hear ANYTHING but I desperately want to know at least one home game that we have.

LBSt & Vermont are very very good teams though.

That should be a winnable tournament 

[Magic95Fan]

I absolutely expect us to win that tourney. A team with NCAA Tourney aspirations has to beat that slate. 

[drex]

Depends on when we jell....we will jell, for sure.

[MeanGreen13]

Long Beach State is pretty good... I believe their leading Scorer is JJ Murray's little brother.

Vermont is always a solid program, should be tough but very manageable with the type of defense we play…

[NorthTexasSportsNetwork]

Bracket:

All games on the worst streaming site other than CUSA.TV, FloSports…

It seems I’ll be listening to Dave and Hank for this weekend.

hope we are deep, three games in three days.

Seeing this lineup makes me miss last years tourney so much… we played some legit teams. Vermont is good and of course none of these teams should be taken for granted, but I loved our Miami game.

Going to need a deeper rotation than 7, am I right?

 

 

And now we wait.

We will never have more than an 8 man rotation with McCasland. I’d be SHOCKED if we had more than 9 play a game this year…

Missouri State was 23-11 last year in the MVC.

Oakland was 20-12

Vermont was 28-6

UNCW was 27-9 and won the CBI

Long Beach St. was 20-13

It is winnable, but it won't be a cakewalk.  

[NorthTexasSportsNetwork]

Now this is a really good matchup. Saint Mary’s is always either a top tier NIT or NCAAT team. Great get by Gmac

[MrAlien]

Saint Mary's will be a good team to play.  Any chance that they might play a return game @ UNT in 2023??

Not really sure yet. I’m asking around. Hopefully some news on other opponents soon…

He already pointed out Vermont and LBSU. I completely missed UNCW in the draw. They have had some good years lately. I remember it was between us and them on Deng Geu and they were coming off a similar season then.
