Lets just schedule a D2 game, and a P5 below average team. Another Boston College game to get some swagger heading into the B1G schedule

Get the fellas from Wesleyan to make the trip across town. Creighton scheduled a team in their league for a regular season game.

I change my mind, this schedule is hard enough. We can have cupcakes at the end of non-con

If we can find a way to win 11 Big Ten games with that schedule we will be sitting very pretty come March I'd assume.

The last stretch with Purdue, Michigan, Michigan State will be a good chance to showcase who we are. I love closing the season at home on Sunday!

I like the way it lays out.

 

We need to survive the first 7 games, could be a 'dog in 4 or 5 of those. But there's a chance we could do really well in those first 7 if we can repeat how we played on the road over the back half of last season, as I don't think we'll be a huge 'dog in any of them. With a veteran team, having some potentially tight road games early in league play should be to our benefit, especially if other teams are still trying to find their way.

 

Then we need to rack up the wins over the next 9, could be favored in 7 of them, maybe 8. 

 

Tough final 4 games, may only be favored in 1 and a significant 'dog in 2 of them, but, if we've played well up to that point, we could be playing with a whole bunch on the line in those final 4 games.

Sorry to deliver the bad news, but Delaware State won't be gracing PBA on those two open dates:

Weber St and Ball St are taking those bullets this year.

Watching DSU Basketball - it's 2 hours of your life you'll never get back

 

 

Summit League starts conference play in that Dec 28-29-30 area, so that game won't be a Summit team. Looks like Missouri Valley does the same thing with its league schedule.

 

My guess is we have a D2 game in one of those slots, although a lot of D2 teams don't schedule games between end of 1st semester and Christmas, so it'd probably be the Dec. 29 game if we go that route.
