X-Hoosier Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 The year we played SMU, Gtown, Louisville, Pitt, and Butler? 2014-15? I wouldn't consider that great enough to bolster over anyone else. I know Louisville was a 4 seed that year and so was GTown. I think SMU and Butler were 6 seeds maybe? I don't think Pitt even made the tourney.

X-Hoosier Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 In 2013-2014 we played UConn and Cuse... Washington and ND didn't even make the tourney just like us. And we were 1-3 in those games. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app So you are comparing that to a historically terrible non conference schedule which started this discussion? Quote

X-Hoosier Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 Ok? We weren't good either? I'm saying we can't put teams down when we aren't far removed from pathetic non conference schedules. It was a problem. And it can still be better. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
HoosierHoops1 Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 Can't look at after the fact. Uconn, Syracuse, Washington and Notre Dame are typically quality games. Just like teams who played us in '08. They didn't plan to schedule a cupcake. Parakeet Jones and mdn82 2 Quote

Looking after the fact... the UConn game would help us.. we played them close even though we sucked and they ended up winning it all. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

Right... if you're in the SWAC. Although a good team in the SWAC may be hesitant to schedule Rutgers. Could bring SOS down. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app We should have beaten Uconn. Again, can't look after the fact, our strength of schedule isn't determined after the tournament is over and Uconn was what, 7th or 8 in their conference? Quote

mdn82 Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 Even without scheduling a top 100 non conference game our SOS would be top 50. With the 4 or 5 we get annually we have a top 30 SOS annually. Even when teams we scheduled aren't what they are historically we still easily have top 50 SOS. I would like us to maintain 20-30 based on how Crean practices if we are being real. Although this isn't a video game where we can play top 10 every game. As much fun as NCAA Basketball used to be with that happening for PS3... HoosierAloha 1 Quote

We should be scheduling Kentucky, North Carolina, Kansas and Duke every year. And yes that can be done if we're willing. Get rid of the Cross Roads Classic and make room for the Elite to be on the schedule. I bet all of those schools would be willing to schedule each other and play around the country.

WayneFleekHoosier Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 We play Kansas, UNC, and Loiusville this year. 3 of the top 10 programs nationwide. This year is a tremendous non con, even with the guaranteed powder puffs. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners IUsafety 1 Quote

Kansas is an event game in Hawaii and UNC is B1G-ACC Challenge. We need 2 or 3 more games on top of that. We want to see recruiting sky rocket and start pulling in the big dogs.. playing a an above average schedule won't do it. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app Winning with schedules like we have this year will do it. Losing consistently with your unrealistic schedule won't accomplish much. Until we have a team worthy of winning the majority of those games we better not bite off more than we can chew. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners HoosierAloha and mdn82 2 Quote
