Neutral court game against Miami(OH) Wins away from home add up.   Other schools do this all the time to pad that.  Good to see IU doing it as well.    Got to win the game of course 

This really is a badass noncon -- X, UNC, AZ, KU, to go with Miami (Ohio) and the balance of the schedule. Certainly won't hear people complaining about a weak noncon this year. Now the guys have the chance to step up and make some real noise before the season even starts. Love it.

Yep

[go iu bb]

What I really like about this schedule is that they give themselves plenty of time before each of the big games to rest and prepare.

Xavier: 8 days

UNC: 5 days

Arizona: 10 days

Kansas: 7 days

Then all cupcake games are on shorter turn times so they get to practice playing with less rest/prep time against easier teams.

The 2 early B1G games in December will be in there somewhere when they announce them.

Ah, yes. I forgot about those and was just looking at the OOC games.

I really want Duke and UNC so we an straight up say “ oh you won the game. We straight up took away your conference”.

Hopefully big ten games are on or around the 3rd and 13th

4th and 8th last season for IU , then no B10 games till Jan2

The first B10 conf games were on the 3rd. 

I'd love it if they dropped one of the games in after the 17th (KS game).

But we'll likely see one between UNC 11/30 and AZ 12/10, and one between AZ and KS (12/17).... 

Sigh lol

And here's to hoping one or both early B10 games include Nebraska, MN, and/or NW.

I disagree I want our early games to be against good teams that may need time to gel.  Give me Illinois on the road and Michigan or MSU at home

If they are sandwiched between the titans, then I want cupcakes.

If we have 3 days rest I doubt we see any real gains. And I don’t think event be worst Big Ten Teams are really in cupcake territory

There are some poor B10 teams. Perhaps cupcakes is not a great word, but they are B10 cupcakes lol....

We have 3 huge games (UNC, AZ, Kansas). We could lose all three and it wouldn't shock many. I don't think we will, but it's not far fetched. So what I don't want to happen, is we have two tough B10 foes mixed in early. I don't care about getting good teams early when we're in that 3 game stretch. I just want games that are considered likely wins, and I don't want a 5 game death spiral of opponents lol.

That’s a fair. Point. Alright I’ll change my stance to I want Northwestern and Illinois.  A middle ground. I want to catch Illinois early.  Before SC has time to get used to college and before the teams have time to gel.

I mean, as long as we win them, I don't care .

We've bitten off a lot with preseason blue bloods. I'd just prefer not to play one of the top 5 or 6 teams. Give me the bottom 8.

I think IL will be better early than most think. But if we did play IL early, and win, I'd be very happy lol. 

My preference in red lol. 

Big Ten opponents
Home: Nebraska, Ohio State, Wisconsin
Away: Maryland, Minnesota, Penn State
Home/Away: Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Northwestern, Purdue, Rutgers

I like the exhibition games in place of the secret scrimmages, to get the guys more run and timing in 'real' game settings in advance of non-con.

And they account for 2 of the 19 home games in the season ticket package. Face value for theses games is the same $54 as for the North Carolina, Illinois,, Michigan, Purdue, Michigan State and all other B10 games. Not really sure what point, if any, I am making. It just seems wacky on the surface.

I wonder if that will work out better for them than Lander did for IU.

Hmm gotta wonder how well he will do with a short college off-season after a reclass
