The Hofstra loss is still disappointing but looking less and less bad.

The Hofstra loss is still disappointing but looking less and less bad. Huge challenge vs the Gaels West tomorrow. Go Pride. |

Santa Clara playing undefeated DePaul right now on cbs sports. They are big! Santa Clara up 15 at half. They are long and huge, definitely beatable but as big of a team as you will see! |

With no majors to make up for disappointing teams, this could be worst schedule in 40 yrs.
Very disappointing scheduling the last few years. Would think we could do better.

What is so bad about our schedule? Seems like bunch of quality mids mixed with a few Top 50-100 teams like UNM, SLU, etc. What am I missing? |

The early Cluess years had some tremendous OOC slates per KenPom. They dipped in the latter Cluess years. But last year's Pitino OOC was on par with the early Cluess ones, so the narrarive that the sked has been disappointing doesn't carry any weight. And the year before was decimated by COVID. Too early to see where this one falls, but is it Iona's fault that projected Ivy league fav Penn and projected AE fav Vermont have struggled? A month ago these were highly regarded.

What is so bad about our schedule? Seems like bunch of quality mids mixed with a few Top 50-100 teams like UNM, SLU, etc. What am I missing? 05, so far our quality mid majors are not quality. If we play 2 teams in the top 100 and a bunch closer to 200 not sure why players would come here. Pitino is a draw but every coach played majors. Pitino seems not to for whatever reason. Penn and Vermont if they win out will be lucky to crack the top 150. Bonnie's is not good. We used to play 3 buy games vs top 25 teams and play at msg. If our top games are st Louis and New Mexico and everyone else below 150 it will be very disappointing. Everyone on this board was speculating when he first came, Kentucky, UCLA or any other big programs he had connections with. Be honest would you have thought when Rick got here the Billikens would be our best game? |

Before the season started, they had the 6th most difficult out of conference schedule in the country. Sure, it’d be great to play Kentucky and UCLA but they don’t wanna play us. That’s the life of a mid major

Be honest would you have thought when Rick got here the Billikens would be our best game? We used to play very challenging buy games on the road and we got our pants beat in every time - Arkansas, Kansas, Syracuse, etc. Maybe one or two more premier OOC matchups would be great, but I am satisfied overall with the scheduling. Remember last year we did play both Bama and Kansas on neutral sites. Plus SLU at home is a great get for us. I don’t remember having a home game at this level since St Joe’s over a decade ago. |
