Great addition to the future basketball schedule. Would love to see something similar with a CUSA, ACC, and A10 school so that we can build some consistancy in non con going forward.
Why don’t we play Queens and Winthrop also?
No benefit, all downside
For them, or for us???
Us. It’s the same reason that NCSU and Chapel Hill won’t schedule us. They should beat us and losing to us only hurts them. App and Davidson are closer to being peers and bring more fans to games.
I posted that sort of in jest; however, we haven’t been in any position to consider ourselves better than either Queens or Winthrop, imo. They beat us, and it’s just another win over a bad team.
For us
You sound like an ACC fan.
Been a decent couple of days.
• 2025 signee reaffirms his commitment
• 2026 recruit makes his commitment
• 2025 portal target makes official visit
• 2025-28 games vs App confirmed
You are right Home/home with Detroit Mercy or Stetson makes more sense. Tough scheduling games these days but better to spend money charting a jet than playing teams in your backyard by bus. No need to tarnish our rich history and pedigree playing these lowly local teams. I’d hate for our program to die from embarrassment losing to such teams. Thankfully the last time we scheduled a three games series with Winthrop we won all three and we had a good contingent of Niner fans attend the game in Rock Hill. Don’t do that again!
Far from that
We shouldn’t be turning up our noses at anyone. We’ve been bad for a long time
clt is tired of playing appy. we should schedule better
Final 2024-25 NET rankings:

Used to love going to Apps high school gym and laughing at them.
Made it to Varsity Gym as well. Haven’t ever set foot in the Holmes Center.
I got flamed on this forum for suggesting this too. It’s so stupid. We already play ASUN teams and lose to them, it doesn’t make any sense.
The people here think we are an NCAAT contender when we haven’t been for nearly the entirety of my life. There are people attending the university today that weren’t alive for the last NCAAT appearance.
Playing Queens is a net benefit. Just the same as playing Davidson, Winthrop, Wofford, and whatever other school is nearby.
Large crowds, exciting D1 play, and a local atmosphere.
Instead we’ll just lose to Long Island instead or whatever.
