    Bear with me if I miss a few weeks. Basketball season is pretty long and even though I've automated a lot of this, it's still a chore.

    I've complained about the schedule before, but this is a stark reminder that this OOC schedule is simply insulting and disrespectful to Tech fans who pay good money to see these games. Whomever "worked hard" to put this "schedule" together should be ashamed. We play on the road to the dead last ranked #351 Grambling. We deserve better. An at-large committee is going to take one look at that and laugh.

    No doubt our ranking will rise, but the extremely low quality of our potential wins will really limit our upward mobility.

    We also managed to have a really bad selection of conference opponents.

    Geez, no lie. That schedule looks much worse than I thought.

    Re: Blue Dawg's Weekly Sagarin Basketball Thread

    8 games against teams ranked >300 and only 3 against the top 100? That's atrocious.

    One of those is a conference game. So really, only 2 Top 100 games were actually scheduled by us.

    I hate that its UAB but at least someone in C-UAB is semi-respectable.

    True. That would also mean we scheduled 6 ">300" games, which is over half of our OOC schedule! That's completely inexcusable.

    I wouldn't have any problem with UAB being one of those >300 games, though

    Actually...

    Sagarin doesn't even include OK Baptist or LSUS! So we technically scheduled 8.

    I didn't even notice that they were left off. I could've made the schedule in my spare time after work and it would've turned out better than this. What's next, games against Ruston High? We'd probably play that one on the road too.

    What makes me angry is we only get 1 chance to get revenge against ODU, and that's on the ROAD!!

    did our AD get a raise for this kind of schedule?

    Essentially

    This season will be bittersweet no matter what happens because every time I look at the schedule I'm reminded of just how badly Tommy McClelland let down Tech supporters.

    Don't think AD has as much control in basketball scheduling

    If it happens again next year it's on Konkol but Tmc had a heavy hand in this year's schedule, especially the Grambling game in Bossier...
