Re: 24-25 Schedule Thread
We should have the A10 matchups later this month. In the meantime, we can only wait for the OOC to trickle in. Just for general discussion, what are thoughts on scheduling? I think our competitive non-conference and toughest conference schedule last year really paid off by the end of the season. Are we a more attractive opponent now or a team to be avoided? Will power conference teams be more or less willing to schedule us? Any chance Pitt, PSU, or WVU would give us a game? I think they're missing the boat, since we would be a respectable loss for anyone now. I really wouldn't mind going on the road for any of those games.

Re: 24-25 Schedule Thread
I'd play as many good mid majors as we can. Throw in a couple cupcakes, and try to get at least one p5 game.
I wouldnt give the 3 local schools any time. They had plenty of chances, esp pitt.

Believe me I would gladly thumb my nose at all of them, but the only thing sweeter would be walking off their court with a W.

RE: Cayman Islands Classic
Looks like North Texas is out and Boston College is in.
South Dakota is being replaced with South Dakota State.

Re: 24-25 Schedule Thread
In a recent, way too early Joe Lunardi Bracketology, he has 3 teams going to the NCAA Tourney from the Cayman Islands Classic.... High Point, South Dakota St. and Boise State.
BTW - only has 1 team in from the A10 - Dayton.

Re: 24-25 Schedule Thread
If anyone is planning on going to the Cayman Islands, please make sure to check the laws. It is a British territory but the bullet fiasco with the Turks and Caicos has me "Check everything before you travel out of the USA".
WE ARE CREEPING UP TO THE SECOND FLOOR....

Re: 24-25 Schedule Thread
Looks like hurricane Beryl is going to pass just south of the Caymans. Such a small island to begin with, I hope they stay safe and avoid the worst of it.

Re: 24-25 Schedule Thread
I just got back from the Grand Cayman Island this spring. It's a great place to visit. If you rent a car be prepared to drive on the wrong side. It's British, you know. Other then that, it's a very up-scale Caribbean Island. Very cool place for a BB tourney.

Last year Temple was at the military classic at the Naval Academy and played the second game. Maybe next year we will get to play them.

Really looking forward to the DePaul game. We might actually be favored against a Big East opponent.
