ANOTHER big one:
Add Michigan State! Assuming UConn is indeed confirmed, that
makes FIVE high-major opponents next season.

This is by far our toughest schedule ever . Assumimg Boals
keeps scheduling like this we hopefully can land a few a high
recruits . I don't expect us to win these with maybe the
exception of UConn but it should be fun.

Michigan State too!?!? This is excellent!! I'm so glad we're
really moving full steam ahead on getting these tougher games
even if they're mostly on the road (for now). We should be
playing a couple B1G, Big East, and AAC teams every year minimum
along with Hofstra. This is as good of an OOC schedule as you
can expect from us. We're likely going to need to win the AE to
make the NCAAT (unless we win all these games) so we lose
nothing by scheduling aggressively like this. It makes the case
for at-large inclusion that much easier if we ever got to that
point. Providence, Maryland, Michigan State, and Uconn? Those
are all perennial tournament teams give or take a year or to
here or there. Excellent gets all around. I hope we can keep
these kinds of games up in the future.

Pleasantly surprised and excited with Boals' scheduling. Dare I
say we go .500 in non-conference schedule? Even .400 will be a
success. Schedule like this should also help attract mid-major
talents in recruiting front.

As long as coach Boals stays here, we will.. I am very happy so
far with the SH hiring of coach Boals.. I remember when Boals
was first hired there were some people moaning and groaning
about SH making a poor choice, well. So far I am very happy with
with both SH and Boals performance with this program, and
football too.

D1 Docket has us playing two neutral site games in Nashville as
part of the PK-80 event. Doesn't seem right but we'll see if
that's accurate – UNH is just a column over and is playing
there.
What a gauntlet. Love it though.

Schedules like this help with recruiting and build our RPI. It
also gets our guys ready for conference play for sure. It
doesn't hurt to face these teams and spread the brand
nationally.

Indeed. Our schedules should be as tough as possible. We really
lose nothing from doing this and I love it. It's a no lose
situation. Even if we dropped every single game on here (I think
we'll win at least one) we'd just have to win the AE to make the
tournament just like we had to when we're playing Nobody State,
Nobody A&M, and Nobody Tech out of conference.

Two more 20+ win teams added: Bucknell (NCAA) at home and Ball
State (CIT) on the road.

Gotta be among the toughest non-conference slates among
mid-majors.

I have been following this program since the pre Pickell era and
this is our toughest non schedule yet . Usually we only play
two power teams a season but we are loaded this year . This
is good for recruiting going forward and spreads the brand of
SBU around the country . Hey we win one or go into OT with
somebody important that goes along way.
