Class of '66 Old Fart Posted June 26 Posted June 26 Bits and pieces been getting posted in different threads so we'll try to start consolidating as much as possible. Nov. 9 - Marquette in Chicago Nov. 25 - Kansas State in Bloomington https://www.on3.com/teams/indiana-hoosiers/news/indiana-to-host-kansas-state-in-november-in-non-conference-clash/ Dec. 6 - Louisville in Indy Dec 13 - Kentucky in Lexington mamasa, Dave from Dayton, LIHoosier and 1 other 2 2 Quote
WayneFleekHoosier Posted June 26 Posted June 26 Pretty much love that schedule. KSU is a need to win/should win. Marq/Louisville are could wins. Kentucky is probably not a win. Going 2-2 in this stretch will be reasonable. 1-3 would put us behind the 8 ball a bit. Hoosierfanyuh and Home Jersey 2 Quote

Our double plays are two top teams and one bottom team. Quote

Pagoda Posted July 1 Posted July 1 CDD comments on the schedule (per Alec Lasley): I think we have a good mix of tough games and cupcakes. Stuhoo, jermhoosierfan, HoosierHoopster and 4 others 7 Quote

Popular Post tyappleg Posted July 1 Popular Post Posted July 1 3 hours ago, Class of '66 Old Fart said: This is a perfectly good non-con. A couple of top 20 opponents, a couple top 50 opponents, a few mid majors between 150-250, and a few 250+ teams. A great mix in my opinion. taco corp, str8baller, HoosierHoopster and 5 others 8 Quote

I think it’s fine. Maybe one less of Alabama AM/Chicago St/ Bethune with a stronger mid major type would be about perfect. As it is, we are projected to lose 2 or 3 of the big ones. Taking pretty big shots. I love the 4 big games and the home/away/neutral/neutral. If I had a gripe it would be the cupcakes and cutting some calories off of 1 or 2 of them. Quote

Without having a early tournament this year, it should be a good test for a newly formed team to see just what they are made of. You have a cupcake before Marquette which will be a pretty solid team to go against for a team trying to gel. You don't want the full schedule of cupcakes to start out like I think Crean or Miller had to start with, but they will be tested in those P4 games. Quote
MemphisHoosier Posted July 1 Posted July 1 Traditionally we hear about home exhibitions at the same time as the non-con schedule release. I wonder if D-Rock is opting for closed door exhibitions instead? Quote

Thanks for typecasting but if you're a season ticket holder for a team with a new regime, 'KState and the Turds' wouldn't excite me; at least have more opponents that have a hint of cache (MAC, MVC, Horizon outside UWM).

Class of '66 Old Fart Posted July 11 Author Posted July 11 This is very good news to potentially have 5 games under our belt before the actual season starts. https://247sports.com/college/indiana/article/peegscom-sources-indiana-baylor-discussing-playing-exhibition-game-in-indianapolis-251676735/ Pagoda and RaceToTheTop 2 Quote
