I say we will be 8-5 going into the MAC. Loses to Dayton, Oklahoma, Oregon, Bucknell & Notre Dame. MAC prediction: Mac 12-6 with an overall record of 20-11.

Whit's extension must have a SOS clause in lieu of a CIT appearance clause. 🤔 I do kind of wonder why the sudden switch in philosophy. Did Whit, or the AD evolve , or is the new University President more hands on ?

I've got them at 6-7
W: Stony Brook, Oakland City, IUPUI, North Florida, Jackson State, F A&M
L: Dayton, Oklahoma, Oregon, Bucknell, Indiana State, Notre Dame, Valparaiso
And I just realized I don't have them winning a single road game. It's going to be a tough non-conference schedule, but hopefully, the team grows during it and are prepared for the MAC schedule.

I'm not dissing your post, as it is spot on......but I'm reminded of a couple of years ago that "we need the easy non-conference schedule to learn how to win and be prepared for the MAC schedule". My head is spinning.

I hate to say this but IUPUI is not a guaranteed win by any stretch based on recent past performances! So I wouldn't counting them as a win.

7-6 or 6-7 could be good. We'll win one we shouldn't but no doubt lose when we should have won too.
I just want us in the tough games and have chances. We have had that on the road, lacked it at home, that has to change. We can be good in conference if so.

Very good schedule may have a few bumps but I'm sure they will be playing with a special purpose! ZH

I think he's just upset there isn't a Longwood game on the schedule this year. He had been working on his penis puns for the past 10 months and now can't use them.

This should be our schedule every year

This should be our schedule every year Actually, although we need a good schedule with some tough teams, this is not ideally what we should have every year. Not close to ideal. There are some years this schedule or any tough schedule might be toned down for that reason, but I'd rather have tough than last year's schedule with such a lousy home schedule to boot. The ideal would be more rivalry games with other mid majors where we recruit, one more home game, and if we are going to play 3 power conference teams we need to get one at home or at least on a neutral court in exchange. Very nice if it were neutral court in Indy or even Chicago. A home game on ESPN against a good rival would be it on the ideal schedule! Dayton is great, ISU and Valpo great games, Dayton and Valpo both teams regularly better than all but the very best MAC competition! I like that kind of game better than Oregon or OU. But even if we had FW or Evansville or a game in Peoria or another Kentucky/Illinois mid major team regularly instead of one of the majors, and get more games like that at home, I'd like the schedule better.
