2021-22 Non-Conference Schedule

[MU82]

#308 SIUE W
#222 New Hampshire W
#4 Illinois L
#69 Ole Miss W
#32 West Virginia L/#176 Elon
#20 St. Bonaventure/#49 Clemson L/#71 Boise St/#121 Temple
#298 Northern Illinois W
#190 Jackson St W
at #57 Wisconsin L
at #90 Kansas St W
#2 UCLA L

I see 6-5.  The Charleston games will be the difference between entering the Wisconsin game with a chance at decent season or being close to DOA. Not a ton of confidence in results this season, but looking forward to watching the kids.  Hope to be pleasantly surprised.

I could see this projection happening, give or take a W or L.

If so, how are we losing? Are we getting run out of the gym by every good team we play? Are we mostly competitive, playing super-hard but simply losing to better, more experienced teams? Are we very competitive, losing several games at the end only because we don't have established closers? For that matter, how are we winning against the weak teams, overwhelming them with our defense and athletic superiority or just squeaking out victories? And regardless of record, is the team improving, playing noticeably better against Wis, KSU and UCLA than it did against Ill, Ole Miss and WV?

Those are the questions I'll want to see answered.

The NBA schedule was released a few days ago, and the Bucks have a home game on 12/1 at 7:00pm. Does anyone know what this means for MU vs Jackson State? I see a few options:

• MU/JSU is played in the early afternoon, like 2:00pm. Not ideal, since 12/1 is a Wednesday.
• MU/JSU gets played somewhere other than Fiserv Forum.
• MU/JSU gets played on a different day. Fiserv has events every day 12/1 through 12/4, so this would mean moving up to the beginning of the week or some other week entirely. I couldn't find JSU's schedule, so not sure which other days match up.
• MU/JSU doesn't happen. MU only plays 30 games, and STHs lose a home game.
• MU/JSU doesn't happen. MU finds another opponent who is scrambling to add a game.

How does this even happen? Do the Bucks promise MU certain dates and went back on that promise? Does MU schedule non-conference games with no clue whether the arena is available?

Marquette and the Bucks have games on the same day all the time.  They just swap out every thing as soon as the MU game ends.

I know. I'm also fairly certain all the other instances have been on Saturday or Sunday. You don't see a lot of teams (especially high-major) playing early-afternoon games on a Wednesday.

But not usually during the week.

JSU hasn't released their schedule yet, so I'm guessing it gets changed to Monday or Tuesday of that week.

Wasn't the other team we played at the Al a SWAC team?  Maybe they're bringing it back?

Marquette does NOT want that. They lost their string of consecutive top-15 in attendance seasons because of that game (Alabama State, I think). The NCAA told MU in preseason they would exempt that game from attendance counting, then changed their mind after the game was played. The Athletic Department was pissed.

Is that really a big deal?

JSU moved to 11/30.

Without the sold out streak, Markus Howard was going to commit to Baylor

Was checking out Bowie State's (EXH game) schedule (because I'm bored wating for Big East to drop)

That's Mary Baldwin's logo.  No idea how they got that, but that's funny.

It's a sad state of affairs when an angry squirrel looks way tougher than our mascot....
