Marquee games like Arizona and Kansas on the schedule are fantastic.  But, a non-conference schedule that truly prepares a team needs to include some quality mid-majors.

I think that is the area where IU has failed the last several years.  It's been a few high profile games and a lot of sub-300 low majors.

The schedule needs a few A-10, Missouri Valley, WCC, etc. level games on it as well.

 

Nice to see you around Fouls

We get plenty of quality games in conference.

To me, the primary goal of strength of schedule is to do enough to merit an excellent tourney seed, and to stack some wins.

I’d rather risk losing to Arizona than play a decent A10 team on the road. I also question whether we can get those A10 and WCC teams into the Hall.

Arizona, UNC, Kansas + mainly cupcakes at home works fine for me. A home and home with a marquee team is my favorite choice.

I’m good with this approach as well but I also hope we start getting on these holiday tournament schedules almost every season. Not just the Maui every 4 or 5 seasons. Bahamas, Puerto Rico, Legends, whatever…those are fantastic tournaments that nearly guarantee a couple resume boosting games.

There is a wide range of teams that are considered “cupcakes”. I don’t think the schedule should be overly onerous, especially since the  BT is usually tough, but in addition to several marquee ooc games I’d like to see a couple of the 300+ cupcakes turn into 180-220 type games.

I think there was an attempt at that last year but the likes of Marshall and the Ragin Cajuns went from predicted 100-150 games to 250+ teams cuz they bombed hard in conference.

Agree and just swapping out a 300 for a 200 level team improves SOS

I may have missed news on Xavier if there had been any.  It is so important to have a really good PG on our team.  

Is there going to be a plea deal?  If his driver's license is suspended and he gets probation and community service then does Coach Woody then decide any ramifications that would limit his participation? 

Tough position to put the coach and the team in.  Wonder if Xavier was on a short leash already.  

Not the kind of leadership the Seniors on the team should be displaying.  Wonder if the teammates are generally pissed at his actions or what.

Looking at the schedule, should Xavier be suspended for 3 games?   Glad I am not the coach.

If Woodson was going to cut Xavier loose it would have happened already. There will be a plea deal. A case like this never goes to trial.

Thanks for the answer.  However, I realized all that.  It had been discussed.

What I asked was if there was anything more recent.  Indirectly, I guess, your post means no new news that you know.

If you knew it, why didn't you say it? Recent to what?  You don't say that either. X's case is scheduled for a pre-trial conference later this month at which time settlement issues will be addressed. But I suppose you knew that.

Sorry if I wasn't clear.  I did say thanks.

I asked if there was news about X including a plea deal.   I took your post as speculation not news.

The most recent post has a fact about the pre-trial conference later this month. That is good information.  Thanks again.

Hope that your horse wins in the KY Derby.

X had been out on the recruiting trail watching games with the coaching staff.

Yes, but Woody had one of those passenger side brake pedals for student drivers.

How about replacing the NIT with the NIL tournament?  Winners determined off the court by number of twitter and IG followers.

I remember that team from the Crean era. Crean said it was like playing an SEC team because they were so quick and athletic.

For those keeping track from Assembly Call -- Kennesaw State Preseason #240 in Torvik.  Hopefully that is one of the 1-2 lowest-rated opponents on IU's schedule for next season.
