How can MU be playing Purdue AGAIN ?

( they have only played Iowa, Purdue and ILL , correct? ).  What a joke.

Why not MICH, or MSU or MINN … or even Nebraska ffs

In unexciting news Central Michigan on November 10th

There are definitely more low quality buy games on the schedule than I personally care for. I’m fine with these but they are too important from a metrics standpoint to use as “teaching” games. MU needs to step on the throat and win them all by 30+ if at all possible. Our lack of dominance in buy games has almost come back to cost us recently as dumb as that is.

As far as the Purdue game is concerned, it’s a joke from the perspective of the challenge. Less than zero effort was put into it making the matchups. However, Purdue is a great non-con opponent and it will be a good experience for the team to play at Mackey Arena. I’m very excited for that game already.

I think there are three at the moment (LIU, CMU, Radford). I assume we will end up adding 2 or 3 more but at this point it's not a high amount.

The issue with the buy games is non of them are above average, and the tournament stuck us with LIU which is horrendous.

True, but as long as we beat them by an appropriate amount we won't get dinged on our tournament metrics. For me, watching a 20 point drubbing of Illinois State isn't substantially more enjoyable than watching a 30 point drubbing of LIU.

Minnesota would have been fun, but I'm really excited to go to Mackey. Really fun schedule this year and some doable non-conference travel opportunities.

Silly that we never draw MN in the Gavitt Games
I would take the Rick SLU program right now.

and LIU just fired their coach today and hired Rod Strickland.

Minnesota, Iowa, and Illinois. But, we could be St. John's who has Nebraska once again.

Hoping for one big buy game. Not necessarily Buffalo or Vermont, but at least North Dakota State/Fresno State level. Beat the dregs by 30+, get one Q3 and we're fine.

Yeah, I guess that’s not bad at all. I thought there was more. I was checking the old schedules and saw in 2006-2007 MU had 11 buy games which also does not count a road game at Valpo. That is a brutal schedule.

Sure, but I think a Q3 buy game should be a minimum goal every year. Better would be all Q3, but that's pricey, so I'll be happy with one.

We have a lot of hard games on the non conference schedule. I would prefer some straight up cup cakes , where we can get a high deficiency win, to give the younger guys some minutes. If the cupcake as a q3
That would be icing on the cake

Weve played them twice since the 70s.

Is it great that the Gavitt has put us with Purdue 3 times since 2017 rather than playing different teams each time? No, not most ideal.

But better than being the Gophers who in the ACC and Gavitt routine get the same bottom dwellers.

At least we get quality opponents consistently.

It’s both hilarious and sad that people pine for Minnesota. 

The Gophers are the the SLU / Dayton of the Big Ten. 

We’re Marquette, we should be pining for Michigan or Michigan State.  Why would we ever want to play Minnesota.  Give me Sparty or give me death.

It was Illinois last year, Mr. Happy go lucky.   MU played Purdue in '17 and '19.   The two teams have split.    I am glad to see MU play against any big name school in the non-conference season.

I’m glad to have MU play any quality opponents.  Absolutely.  I’d just like some variety…. MICH , MSU … even
N western.

And … MU should generally schedule at
least one big 10 / 14 / 16 school per year ( not counting UW ).

Radford will be the opener on November 7. I'll update the opening post later.

  • November 7: Radford (H)
  • November 10: Central Michigan (H)
  • November 15: Purdue (A)
  • November 17: LIU-Brooklyn (H)
  • November 21: Georgia Tech/Mississippi State/Utah (N)
  • November 23: Georgia Tech/Mississippi State/Utah (N)
  • November 29: Baylor (H)
  • December 11: Notre Dame (A)
  • TBD: Wisconsin (H) **Likely Dec 3rd**

Brew, is the expecation that 2 more buy games will be added?

That's my personal expectation. With Bucky, ND, Purdue, and Baylor on the schedule, I don't see another home-and-home nor marquee neutral site game. But as the buy games are pretty soft, I'm hoping for at least one higher quality buy game. Historically, that was the trend under Wojo, and Shaka usually brought in multiple top-200 buy game opponents at Texas.

Not really.  Historically we were usually good for about one blowout loss to a high major per year under Wojo (Iowa, I4, Maryland etc.), but the only two "buy" games we ever lost under him were Omaha in the third game of his career, and Belmont, which historically is one of the better "buy" games available.  Wojo's problem was that his record in March was very subpar, he was usually fine for most of Nov-Dec.
