Unless we win the A10 we aren't dancing with the new metrics and bias against non-power conference schools. Enjoy the games and hope for wins.

The best approach.

We dont even know our full non-con schedule and its July now

It always gets released around Labor Day, but usually there are more public leaks by now.

Net of 260 last year, 353 year before - thumbs down.

I'm pessimistic about our OOC schedule until proven otherwise - even if we end up getting 2 or 3 P4 buy games.

Siena is one of our tune up buy games if I had to guess. Whatever. Still have to see what h/h series we get and power 5 games we get.

Hopefully we won't have to do a MEAC and D3 game but who knows.

 

[PDGL Hoops]

Me thinks we will have a JV schedule this year.

To be fair, Siena was led by a first-year coach last year.

Bethune Cookman is one of the 5 worst teams in D1 Men's BBall
Despite that I hope they are the season opening game

with a Tuesday Women's Home Opener vs Bethune-Cookman
which was Coach VBL's head coaching position prior to GMU

 

[Verdad]

Last year's NET rankings of current known/potential opponents for upcoming season (best case scenario opponents in bold):

Mte- 2 vs Fau (113)/Ohio (175)/Lmu (161)
Home MTE game - 1 vs BC (277), Jacksonville (194), Pacific (297) or Stony Brook (340)
Jmu at home (156)
Siena at Home (260)

They can walk me off the ledge if 1) we get the best possible opponents from the MTE - which we should as the highest ranked team, and 2) we avoid scheduling any more 200+ home opponents.

This, combined with multiple buy games vs top 50 teams and an improved A10 could result in a decent resume if we are on par with last years team and can avoid losses like vs CMU last year, and pull off at least one buy game win. This is BEST case scenario, not the most likely scenario.

Our 2025 OOC opponent NET rankings:
320
@ 29
340
214
@ 176
360
