2011-12 Non-Conf Opponents' Schedules Thread

So I take it Kennesaw St was the “secret” game of Niner Report? Wow what a big scoop! :stuck_out_tongue:

I am afraid our RPI probably kept us from lining up better OOC games. We are a boat anchor for other teams until we prove otherwise. Winning will solve all of our problems.

I think you are right about that. Nobody wants to play a 200+ RPI team that could be a giant killer on any given night. See UT and GT.

GT wasn’t good at all last year, they got ran off the court when they played at Kennesaw State… then beat the holes by 20 :smiley:

Also, added Kennesaw State’s schedule to the first post.

The key to drawing fans is getting off to a great start, which we never do, regardless of opponents. Would love to be 9-2, 8-1 or something similar.

We’re a bad team and a bad program right now. We’re not bad enough to get a payday schedule, but we’re not good enough that it is worth any team playing us OOC. Our goodwill was spent long before now and we have to reearn it.

This is a young, unproven team. Yes, we have experience, but that experience isn’t winning experience. We need to generate a positive atmosphere and winning does that.

If this is our schedule 2 years from now, Major is probably gonna be on the hot seat for multiple reasons.

Anyone else think we can go 9-0 heading into our games against Miami, Arkansas and Memphis? I’m sure we will drop a game or two, but it would be great to be undeafeted heading into those three.

Yes I do. I keep saying that we are going to be better than people think.

Last time Miami came into Halton they got slapped around like a gastonia hooker.

Haha. Well then, anyone think we can go 10-0 heading into our games against Arkansas and Memphis :smiley:

One game at a time. It would be very nice, but I’d even take 8-1 going into Miami.

The home schedule reflects our current situation. Tough to see, but as an out-of-towner I’d love to make the Miami & Davidson games.

We wouldn’t under the old regime, but we don’t know what kind of style or D that Major is going to coach with, so don’t count us out just yet. We very well could play hard D and get enough O to go 9-0.

Cheers Mate :wink:

I thought we would definitely go 1-0 with last year’s schedule but some how we lost at home to Gardner Webb. Let’s take it one game at a time before predicting an undefeated opening winning streak.

Love the tat, too. (haha unintended pun) Anyway, my question is this: do ignorant people ask if you’re a communist? Just askin’.

He’s asking if other Australians who don’t have the exposure to American college basketball that you do mistake your C-pick for a stylized hammer and sickle.
