Clever turn of words, "WAY better." While I can get by ok this year, I see this schedule as a setback for the program that stalls momentum and enthusiasm. Won't be hard to get out of the parking lot after a game. Looking ahead this is scary if repeated. And I'm an incurable optimist.

Well....
Like I've said - I've had several talks with the coaches and some were specifically about their thoughts on scheduling for this program and this is NOT what their thoughts were
I have got to believe there was some outside influence - because other regional teams WANT to play us to help improve their rpi and sos also -
The budget must of been slashed to bare bones to recoup some of the costs for the Vegas 16
I think T-Mac has made a huge mistake. IMO, this kind of scheduling could really hurt our recruiting. If that happens, I'll volunteer to drove T-Mac's moving van out of town. Some of us have been doing this too long to put up with this nonsense.

Stay tuned.
They better be closer than on the horizon because the junk schedule they put together this year is doing nothing but holding the program back.
No recruit in the country gives a crap about us beating the doors off Oklahoma Baptist, LSUS, or Catholic Nun University at home. God forbid if someone gets hurt in one of those games. Does the school for the blind have a basketball team? Maybe T-Mac can bring them to the TAC for a nice sum of money.

I find it humorous...no, not really...that NSU has not even been mentioned in this thread.

I'd play them in a heart beat over almost any school on this schedule.

NSU usually has a decent RPI (<200), but they were BAD last year (344)
I'd rather play home/home with (66) SFA (in the same year) than play 9 NAIA/sub 200 RPI games
RPI |
School |
64 |
at South Carolina |
264 |
vs. Alabama State |
165 |
at Nebraska |
NAIA |
vs. Oklahoma Baptist |
307 |
vs. Maryland Eastern Shore |
16 |
at California |
332 |
vs. Southeastern Louisiana |
252 |
vs. Alcorn State |
156 |
at Louisiana-Lafayette |
334 |
vs. Prairie View A&M |
350 |
vs. Grambling State |
216 |
vs. Florida Gulf Coast |
NAIA |
vs. LSU-Shreveport |

Then have 2 or 3 good rpi A5 schools and if the conference mates schedule like wise our SOS can slip into 150 range with a little luck
RPI takes care of itself IF you win for the most part
And I will make one more statement - I don't mind playing GSU - as long as its in Ruston
Very disappointed in this schedule - I don't blame Konkol for the Bossier thing - BUT he could of got us some better games as part of home and homes -
It makes me wonder how much tmac is tinkering because I have had discussions with him and KNOW where he wants to take the OOC schedule and this ain't it
Dawgpix - didn't name them by name but did allude to them on several occassions

After the classless stunt NWST MBB pulled last year going to the local media to try to force Tech into scheduling them (and considering they are in the Southland), Tech should NEVER play a basketball game in Natchitoches again. The best scheduling decision Konkol has made is not scheduling a H&H with NWST. Kudos to him for that. We should schedule a money game on the road and then use that money to buy NWST to play in Ruston.

Yes, but you named everyone else.
Re: 2016-17 Schedule Thread
Sagarin has 2015-16 Northwestern State at 323. They went 5-19, right? Looking at that, they're not much good for us beyond a cheap home game, which we have plenty of. At least as far as the numbers go. There are more arguments beyond that (pro and con), of course.

Don't blaspheme the Opie. You'll upset his fan club over here.

Our basketball game time will probably not be announced until next Sunday.
