Love it Look for Dunn to be pumped up for the Marshall game. His hometown team that didn't try to recruit him. That's a solid start to the schedule. The Nits will be good next year, and playing ND is always good. Marshall had a good squad this past year. Don't know what they have coming back, but that's the type of team you need to have games against. They can add a couple of cupcakes, but try to avoid the true dregs. Higher RPI win or lose. Hopefully better attendance too! The fact of the Dukes being 5-2 against Notre Dame was initially surprising. But it's been a long time between meetings (1995 the latest). ND had to face our program when Duquesne was a tough opponent. That's a solid start to the schedule. The Nits will be good next year, and playing ND is always good. Marshall had a good squad this past year. Don't know what they have coming back, but that's the type of team you need to have games against. They can add a couple of cupcakes, but try to avoid the true dregs. Majority of Marshall's rotation this year was comprised of juniors and freshmen so i'd think we'll see the majority of the team that got them to the Dance and upset Wichita.

Shep Garner is gone for penn state too. They will still be good but probably not a tournament team. This should help season ticket sales. Overall ticket sales. RPI, SOS, a national viewing auidence, local hype. Its all good and if our guys are close to what we hope, maybe win 3/4(including pitt). Also saw this from Sarah: I am already considering a road trip to ND. Being a lifelong ND football fan, and going out there a half dozen times, I can tell you that campus does not disappoint. For you catholics, it's worth a trip. Its a 5+ hr drive, simple as can be. Highway 80 across Ohio and most of Ind. By the time bball season rolls around and the leaves are off the trees, you can see the Golden Dome from the highway. It's a pretty neat sight to see, and it wont be a mad house like it is for football weekends. I am already considering a road trip to ND.

My father, his brother, and his sister all graduated from ND so needless to say, I too am a big Irish fan. Love the campus and will probably make the trip as well.

You must have been flying. Of course once you get into the Midwest, the flat terrain makes speeding much easier than it is here in the good old Appalachians. i read google maps wrong or had the wrong notre dame or something because now i see 5.5. my apologies Driving back, early sunday, we made it in around 5 hrs, I wasnt driving, but pretty sure we averaged 80 mph.

That's a solid start to the schedule. The Nits will be good next year, and playing ND is always good. Marshall had a good squad this past year. Don't know what they have coming back, but that's the type of team you need to have games against. They can add a couple of cupcakes, but try to avoid the true dregs. Yeah we can stop scheduling all those HBCs. Man the kids at those schools just get pounded for a paycheck. They are usually most of the bottom 20 in RPI every year Last edited by Tejas_Duke (6/29/2018 11:54 am) That's a solid start to the schedule.

They are usually most of the bottom 20 in RPI every year What's weird is that while the MEAC and SWAC are generally regarded as the two worst conferences, they both have won multiple games in the NCAAs. No NEC team has ever advanced to the round of 32. (Although Bobby Mo did beat Villanova, but had it taken away by some of the worst officiating that I've ever seen in nearly 50 years of following basketball)

Re: OOC Schedule
The upcoming season seems promising at this point, and having a better OOC schedule was certainly a need.

Re: OOC Schedule
I'm going to assume the set-up with ND is similar to what we did with Kentucky in the "Bluegrass Showcase" two seasons ago (Buzzer beater losses to Canisius & UT-Martin and a win over Cleveland St. all at home) and three opponents will be who is doing this "Notre Dame Invitational". Notre Dame isn't slated for an exempt tournament as of now. •

Re: OOC Schedule
If it means taking 2 days off from work for a week night game, so be it. It would be something to see my alma mater take on the Irish across the street from the house that Rockne built.

We may see an ex recruit starting against us at PPG. Jamari Wheeler was basically their sixth man as a freshman this year and they are losing guards.
And don't forget the return of Jimmy "brick by brick" Ferry.
Love Marshall too. Mid major that reached the tourney and upset I believe a 4 seed? Kind of exactly what we are trying to be, no? It will be interesting to see how we match up with a program we are essentially trying to emulate at this point.

Re: OOC Schedule
That was from Elkhart, IN, not South Bend, cause hotels are too expensive, and Elkhart is only a few miles from SBend.
Best part for me, I work with a young ND grad. He doesnt know what a basketball is, but I'm gonna have fun with him leading up to the game.

Re: OOC Schedule
Marshall are definitely trying to up their resume/profile. They're at UMD, at UVA, at Duquesne, at Texas A&M, at Akron, at Ohio, host Toledo...
