TSU88 1,073 Report post Posted June 26, 2018 The UMBC game has a different implication this coming season. Playing Loyola & Morgan makes perfect sense, from an economic standpoint. I’m glad we’re not playing Coppin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mat1992 2,233 Report post Posted June 26, 2018 It's a decent schedule with two tournaments and yes, this is going to be a very young team so playing Kansas, Duke, North Carolina, NC State, Syracuse, and even Maryland, wouldn't have made much sense along with Virginia. I understand the yearning to play a tougher home schedule or bringing in somebody with that wow factor. If it were that easy, I'm sure we'd have a Temple, GW, Dayton, VCU, or some solid mid-major every season instead of just once in awhile. But it's not. It takes two to tango.

TSU88 1,073 Report post Posted June 27, 2018 (edited) It appears Montana has replaced Loyola Chicago in the Bahamas tournament. Too bad, I would have liked to have seen how we measured up to Loyola, but a consequence of their final 4 appearance is that they presumably backed out of the Bahamas tournament for something with more exposure and/or more lucrative. Btw, Montana went 26-8 last year, won the Big Sky regular season and tournament, and lost to Michigan by 14 in the NCAA tournament. They are far from a slouch Edited June 27, 2018 by TSU88 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
