Feels like the last few seasons have had at least 1 IVY on it. Maybe that can fill in a schedule spot.

8 team conferences - like the Ivy league and MEAC have 14 game conference schedules leaving a large 18 game OOC schedule to fill.

A quick look at D1 docket shows that most schools from both of those conferences have game slots to be filled, with the caveat that most -if not all - of the MEAC - are looking for a paycheck to take a loss

stolen from Alan's Timeline
Nov 24 vs Longwood

looks like 1 more Regular Season OOC game left to be announced
plus maybe 1 or 2 additional exhibition games

and i am wondering what the ticket prices look like for this schedule

I wonder if there is a reason to play away against Longwood unless this is meant as a favor to them. Could also be a typo.

 

[mkaufman1]

Its a typo - we are not playing at Longwood. Hosting a buy.

Glad to hear the Longwood game is the 24th instead of the 25th as has been posted on this board several times. We've never had a game the night before Thanksgiving. Had it been the 25th I would have had to miss......

Sure wish we could get the schedule page up to date. Several other A10 schools are way ahead in that regard.

The game in November against Longwood is for the GMU Women's basketball team, not the men's.

...warm up the complaint machine!

umbcretrievers.com has UMBC playing at Mason on Nov 2
And announced was South Florida on Saturday Nov 21
Women's schedule is playing Temple at home on Nov 2 and at home Nov 21 against JMU

Doubleheaders or split tickets?

Let me be the first!!

365 Div 1 teams
Rank of 182 or higher/lower means you are in the top half of all D1 BBall teams in the country
GMU at 97 is a few spots out of being in the Top Quarter

with 2 games left to be added to the schedule, this is what we have
only 3 opponnts ranked better than 182
1 home, 1 away, and 1 neutral site
90 - South Florida
66 - High Point
179 - Towson

I hope CTS has a bonus for getting to 20 wins
as with this schedule anything worse than 10-2 is a major under achievement
I have no idea what the ticket prices will be, but other posters have stated that there is an increase in pricing this season.

Last season I did not buy the usual 10 game flex pass because i thought it was too expensive for the quality of the schedule and ended up paying between $5 and $10 for most of the OOC home schedule via the resale market.

I will be looking for the $10 tickets for all the home games except the South Florida

Luckily the A-10 schedule has better quality opponents

 

[Portlandian]

Win @ High Point or Bust!

Maybe hot take maybe not, but I think there’s a very solid chance if we lose any of the OOC games then any hopes of an at large is dead absent going 2 loss or less in conference.

Not hot take. This is why schools like Tech are not on the schedule. We almost ran the schedule last year.
