What does that have to do with OOC scheduling?

Attendance increased during the White era because we won 3 consecutive conference championships, made 3 consecutive NIT runs, and won at least 27...

I've said this many times before. I will never drive to Ruston and buy tickets to watch Tech play these crappy schools. I fully realize nobody wants to see us play the SWAC. We aren't gonna sell many...

White's scheduling was even worse than Konkol's scheduling.

Don't lose sight of the NIT. Maybe we can't build a schedule to give us a shot at an at-large NCAA bid, but there's no excuse for us not to be able to build a schedule that gives us a shot at an...

Agreed.

Simply replacing 1 of the non-DI games with a road guarantee against the Cartel would significantly improve our schedule and our bottom line.

One SWAC home guarantee is fine but no more...

Tech's non-conference Strength of Schedule ranks 12th in C-USA, per KenPom.

Only USM and FIU have worse OOC schedules, but those programs are so bad they need a weak OOC slate.

MTSU's OOC...

I thought teams were only allowed one MTE per season.

But I'm with you. I don't have a problem with this NOLA event. Attendance would be horrible for pretty much any opponent in Ruston right...

Which games are you talking about?

The Cancun Challenge is our exempt tourney. The New Orleans Shootout isn't an exempt MTE. It's just a couple neutral site games. At least that's my understanding.

No. Not a screw up. Just a stupid policy.

"That's not who we are." ;)

No. That's actually good for us. We want the C-USA cellar dwellers to schedule DI games they should win. It's not great for UNT's RPI, but it is good for Tech and the rest of C-USA's RPI.

We also aren't in that stupid Shreveport-Bossier Holiday Classic. They are still trying to find a replacement for Tech. It was so much of a bust last year that they've moved it to the Gold Dome this...

Sleazy Stansbury is pushing for divisions for basketball. He got all the coaches on board.

Problem is it still has to get support from the ADs.

Hoops divisions sound nice in theory, but in...

It doesn't matter to me. Pawdawg already edits most of my posts. :laugh: You can either do that or let the one I started die. There's no reason to have both pinned to the top of the forum.

Can you merge the two threads and then change the date on your post to move it to be the first post at the top?

How is the Cancun Challenge a C-USA Tourney?

I have no problem with whatever 2 home games we get from this tourney. They are non-SWAC/MEAC DI games we don't have to return. That is a good thing.

Looks like binary code to me :laugh:

The good news is we are actually playing our peers at a neutral site for a change.

Current KenPom (conference)
91 Louisiana Tech (C-USA)
110 George Mason (A-10)
122 Fresno State (MW)
152...

The more I look at it, we have to be in the greater (host) division. Last year Purdue first received their host guitar on January 25. Then they announced the 4 hosts of the greater division on March...

We will play 2 of these 3 in Cancun: George Mason, Fresno State, Evansville. Winners on Tuesday play each other on Wednesday. Losers on Tuesday play each other on Wednesday. Matchups are TBD right...

Plus the greater division hosts 2 games vs. the lesser division. All of these MTE's involve 4 games over 2 weeks.

WKU getting the invite rubs me the wrong way because they were the very last team invited to C-USA and didn't join until at least a year after everybody else. No way they should've gotten a Battle 4...
