Next Year Scheduling Minutiae

Sounds like the conference is going with 18 games. So we'll play 5 teams twice and 8 teams only once. Historically, teams have been arranged by strength (or perceived strength) in basketball to ensure the top teams get more bites at the quality win apple. So I would anticipate a much easier schedule next year.

Those with announced fields are horrible. Maybe no fall travel for me this year.

You could do a whole lot worse than the Cayman Islands. And with that field, we might even win a game or two.

I also have a kid starting college and my wife doing 15 grand in landscaping. That is my reasoning. lol
