Title: 2019-20 Non-Conference Schedule
Post by: The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole on June 11, 2019, 10:21:17 AM
Sunday, November 17 v. Wisconsin at Kohl

Yuck.  I guess they couldn't make a Saturday in December work out.

Yep, the #mubb twitter account says the move was to accommodate the non-conference schedules of both teams. Hopefully this means we're getting another big name opponent in December.

Both teams have had some departures, but UW ran everything through Happ. I gotta think the earlier game helps MU.

Didn't Big Ten teams have a couple conference games in November/December last year?  Wonder if that had something to do with it.

Yes, the Big Ten has played conference games the first weekend of December for the past two years. (Since the new TV deal) Since the calendar is different this year (2019) might have to do with it.

UW is one of the hardest teams to project this season IMHO. They lose their clear cut best player but retain virtually everyone else of consequence. None of the new players on their roster look like instant impact guys. I could see a scenario where losing Happ frees up the offense and they are better than last season. I could also see a scenario where without Happ to worry about, opponents clamp down on their shooters and they suck. I think we extend our win streak to three

I lean toward suckage.

Looking forward to another outstanding game by Floppy.

. Losing Iverson is of consequence.  Bucky really does not have any bouncy aggressive strong guys now.  His stats were not big, but he gave UW an element they no longer have.

Didn't say or imply that...it's just it seems to me, too many in this state root for the other one as well Unless they are playing each other. That isn't the way it's supposed to work...at all. You either bleed red, or you bleed gold and blue..there is no in between(or shouldn't be). It seems like too many people married into a "red" family, or a "blue" family, or had kids that attended one of the schools, or a relative or something. As far as the fans go, I think there is way too much "friendly" banter with this game every year. I don't know how anyone does that. I DESPISE UW, hate looking at their fans, hate looking at red badger crap, hope they lose every game they play etc.

I think Iverson was one of the most criminally misused players in college basketball the past few seasons. He didn't fit Buckys system at all. In the right scheme I think he could have been a superstar

Besides not fitting Becky's system, I couldn't disagree more.  There was nothing on a basketball court he did well other than jump high.  He's basically a stronger, worse shooting Jamal Cain.  He never showed any ability at all to handle the basketball and he did show that he had no ability whatsoever to shoot the basketball.

Who gives a damn if people root for both teams. People like you are just grown children. You despise a college basketball team full of kids you never met? Ok. Its one thing when college kids get into it. Idk I just dont get it. There is having a reasonably rivalry and then there Is genuinely hating a school or team. It's just over the top and kind of embarrassing

Then it's not a "rivalry" if you pull for both teams.

 I have nothing against MOST of the players on the team...It's their FANS I can't stand. I want to see them suffer as much as possible.

Again, it's their fans...they are insufferable...ever read Buckyville?? Guys like Ericthered, swenson, Butchbadger etc...Not too mention all the tool Badger fans I have to deal with on a regular basis.

I've been to several badger mu games over the past years and both gyms get loud and rowdy. There is trash talk and banter. Yes it is mostly "friendly" I suppose. But really what exactly are you advocating for here. The next step is more people start shouting insults at opposing fans. The next after that is violence.

NDSU is a solid add. Coming off a NCAA appearance, they return everyone except for their backup center, who left as a grad transfer. Based on what the rest of the league lost, they're likely going to be the Summit League favorites.

One thing worth noting, the last game before Big East play will be Central Arkansas. Typically, that slot is one of the weakest buy games. The Bears are projected as #292 per T-Rank. Milwaukee is #204 & NDSU is #140. Looks like the NC State lesson was heard loud & clear. Seems likely we'll have pretty good buy games across the board if those are any indicators.

North Dakota State is the best buy game by far. Gambling State is better than they used to be. Jacksonville and Robert Morris were okay last season iirc. Loyola MD is perpetually bad.

Purdue, at Wisconsin,  Orlando, at K State is a solid slate. The buy games? Not nearly as bad as We Wojo year 2 but nothing to write home about either.

Checking T-rank predictions ain't a bad idea though:

#8 Purdue
#9 Maryland
#19 Harvard

#21 Wisconsin
#27 Marquette
#42 Kansas State
#58 Texas A&M
#59 Davidson
#74 USC
#87 Temple

#141 North Dakota State
#163 Loyola MD
#189 Grambling State
#237 Fairfield
#238 Robert Morris
#293 Central Arkansas
#315 Jacksonville

I don't buy into T-Rank as much as others, but they have proven me wrong more than once (and vice versa). If these numbers turn out being in the right ballpark, that's not a bad non-conference slate. Get hit the right matchups (and win at least 2/3) in Orlando. I understand Harvard will be a very good low major next season (assuming everyone is healthy) but top 20 seems excessive to me.

If they are indeed still working on the UW-Milwaukee game, one of these would have to be an Orlando campus game. Probably either Loyola-MD or RMU, just based on the dates. The only other full schedule from an Orlando team that's out is USC, which doesn't have either of those opponents on it. Keep an eye on Maryland, TAMU, Davidson, Harvard, Temple, & Fairfield (along with LUM & RMU) to figure out which is the Orlando campus game.

Makes sense. I'm just hoping we aren't giving up the 31st game (as was done in 3 out of the last 5 years). The home schedule is a bit light right now at 16 games (excl. exhibition), the fewest since Buzz's last season.

Decent chance there's a game yet to be announced (either the rumored UWM game or a Orlando Invitational campus game)

Hopefully that is the case, because playing 12 games is very stupid.

I mean what difference does it make?? It would likely just be another dog they would pound on anyway. As a season ticket holder, it doesn't really matter to me. I'm honestly more upset I have to pay for stupid exhibition game every year.

At least now a days it's only one exhibition game vs a real team.

The 13th game could be one that drags down the NET. However, I do agree we should be playing the full allotment of games. You can get around the NET by scheduling a Fresno State or Buffalo type. That may be easier said than done.

Third reaction:  When does UConn start in the BE?

This feels right. I think aiming for teams in the 100-200 range as buy games is solid. If a couple pan out those are Q3 opportunities.

But yeah, other than Purdue, what is there? Loyola-MD & NDSU aren't exactly selling points. Maybe that's why they are trying for Milwaukee, the local attraction angle?

I mean, i have said this before and it always kind of confuses me when people complain about the home non conf schedule. All i care about is seeing MU win. That's it, that's the most important thing to me when attending a game. I look at it like this, the lessor the opponent, the easier it is on my health and nerves. So that's a win-win for me.  ;D

I will see three times the competitive games in a long weekend in Orlando than OOC at home. Last time MU lost to St. Norbert's, Murff was playing. I worry about your 1st row upper purchase at the lid lifter.

I appreciate your concern. The easiest and simplest way to alleviate any potential issues?? DON'T LOSE AT HOME. Problem solved.  ;D

Issue with the non-conference is the fact that unlike last year the only major game (Purdue) is a week day. Last year we got Wisconsin, Kansas St, and Buffalo on Saturdays and Friday before Christmas.

As long as the Bug 12 matchup is in sync with Wisconsin, the noncon will always be weak every other year.

MU v. St. Norbert is no exhibition.  It will be family hate week.

Mrs. Legs grew across the river from St. Norbert; she went to MU with me; her dad to St. Norbert.
One of my sisters went to MU; her husband to St. Norbert; 2 of their 4 at MU now.
Other sister went to St. Norbert; her daughter will be freshman at St. Norbert.

4 St. Norbert alums/students v. 5 MU alums/students.

MU wins this one, the season is a success

Similar here, but more one sided and spread to social circles.  I went to MU for grad school but my wife went to St. Norbert.  A good size portion of our social circle were all St. Norbert WBB players though and a few other athletes.  I think they want to make a group event out of this and I may be outnumbered substantially.

any inside info on the plans for mini-packs this year? With fewer good games, will they offer 3 or 4 packs rather than 5?  If it's five, it would seem to look something like:

Purdue
Seton Hall
Creighton
St John's
Butler

or

Villanova
Georgetown
Xavier
Providence
DePaul

I initially thought they'd try to make this work, but the more I look at it the less likely I think it is. Maryland is the marquee team with the Hausers' transfer. I would guess the four high majors (MD, MU, TAMU, USC) each start with one of the mid-majors (Davidson, Fairfield, Harvard, Temple). And it would seem most likely they put us on the same side of the bracket as USC.

I'd happily be wrong, but my guess is it would be in the final game if we do see Buzz.

I am definitely not in love with this matchup. In fact, Davidson was the team I least wanted to play.

Very good coach, very good system. And all 5 starters back from a team that won 24 games, beat Winthrop, Wichita State, VCU and St. Louis, and probably will be favored to win the A-10 this season.

This will be a trendy upset pick, and for good reason.

On the plus side, it will be a good win if we get it.

Davidson projected 50th on T-Rank.  Tough matchup but can prep for them.  Good challenge early

I hope we're not paired with the USC/ Fairfield matchup. If we do get upset by Davidson (they are an at large caliber team) , playing Fairfield is an awful outcome.

Davidson may end up being the most important game of the regular season
