Nate Oats just let it slip during an interview at the Final Four with Drew Olson on The Big 920 that they will be playing Marquette "right before Christmas". Who knows if it's a 'done deal' yet though.

About 3:30 in
Am I right to assume that would be our really good buy game (Fresno St./Vermont) for the year? If so, I like it.
On The Big 920?!
Huge scoop!

Drew's show is pretty good. Milwaukee based.

I'd rather listen to the producer have his own show.

+1
Remember that Oats is from Wisconsin. Grew up in Watertown, went to Maranantha Baptist.
Solid nonconference game. I like it.

Yeah, but the weekly pickle segment might get old.
This would be a great buy. Good team that will look good on the resume. They are 0-12 in road buy games under Oats and Hurley. Buffalo does return 4/5 starters and everyone except their starting point guard. Will be a tough test.
Excellent news to hear! Great team from the MAC.
A GREAT Team????

Ranked 25th in the RPI. Beat down of Arizona from the Conference of Champions. Played a fun run and gun game with Kentucky in a tough loss. Yea, most schools won't have the dick and balls to schedule Buffalo.
Maybe Wojjjj is thinking we'll be pretty good next year, huh?
Should be a fun game.

Yes. Love the commitment to quality scheduling that has brought teams like Fresno State, Vermont, & now Buffalo in. All three came in as tournament teams, while Vermont & Buffalo were favored to return.

Weinstein would qualify as a porn star.
Is 920 the old WOKY?
They were up against Larry the Legend and then some Christian organization bought them.
Just where I want to get my Warrior news -- from a station that is one step removed from Billy Graham.
Fantastic we will get see Jeenathan Williams in action for Buffalo.

Drew Olson wants to be everybody's friend in the world at all times.
Never take a stand. Never have an opinion. Never ruffle the feathers. He's a supporter of Wisconsin and Marquette. He likes the Brewers and the Cubs. He is nether Conservative or Liberal. He will go on anybody's show anyway for self promotion. Don't even get me started on KB.

WLUP in Chicago is now a Christian format, too. Happened a couple of weeks ago.

Clearly, Buffalo just wants to go someplace where the weather will be nicer in December!

It's an Iheart station.
I thought the MAC didn't allow teams to schedule buy games.

I guarantee mujivitz would have a better sports radio show than anything currently airing in Milwaukee.

That's the MVC. We played a team from the MAC as a buy game this past season.

I've listened to him enough through the years... he's not conservative by any stretch. He just doesn't shove being a lefty in his listeners faces.
Don't know where you're getting he likes the Cubs. When the Cubs melted down in epic fashion in '03 NLCS, he participated in a long segment where the hosts were mocking the team. He seems to 100% support the WI teams, pro and college both.
We should schedule as strong as non conference as possible - next year's team should have the talent, depth, and experience to handle it.
