Can't remember if we started this thread already. Apologies if we did. Believe this is what we're looking at so far:
HOME: Cleveland State Florida Gulf Coast Indiana State
AWAY: George Mason UConn (not confirmed, but almost done deal) Wofford
Assuming we play the same amount of reg season games as this season (29) this would leave us with 3 remaining OOC games to schedule.
Any news/insights?

At the goal club reception last night after the girl's game, we we're told that while at LA Tech both schools discussed a home and home. No idea if that will happen or not.

I will keep my fingers crossed over getting Louisiana Tech on schedule . I think both programs benefit as they get exposure in different regions. Both programs appear to be trending in same direction.

Think it would take us getting paid $$ to agree to travel down to La Tech again. Not sure how realistic a home and home would be since there aren't many other schools within driving distance that would make sense for us to schedule on the back of that game.

LSU or Louisiana Lafayette? Wish we could play a Holiday Tournament in NYC and attract some high mid major program to play like VCU. Need more quality to bump RPI and push program along. Overall we can not complain about OOC scheduling last few years. We unfortunately did not take full advantage this year. Would have been interesting to see how outcomes would have changed with Isaiah in lineup. Hopefully next year we stay healthy and take advantage.

Memphis, Ole Miss, Miss State, Southern Miss, Alabama, plus the ones mentioned by Husker.

Trying to focus on scheduling 2-3 years out. No tournament next year.
LA Tech admins were incredibly hospitable. President actually stopped by to greet staff. (Not an easy place to get to.)

A lot of these games were legacy games scheduled by the old administration. Believe the new administration are big believers in scheduling money games that are in the northeast. Could be wrong, but would be surprised to see us continue to schedule these types of games in the future unless there's a big payday.

At least for next year, staying out of the airports would probably be a good thing.

With the Bracket Buster now defunct, are we certain about the Indiana St. return game?
I'm still waiting for the Davidson "return" (handshake deal) renegged upon from a game we played down there in '03-'04.
