Don't mind the easier schedule- still have some really good
teams on the schedule so it will still be a test.
I do not think all of those losses at the start of the year were
helpful in building confidence. I think Coach Boals decided to
rein in the difficulty. Bottom line no team from the AE is
getting an at-large bid.

I don't buy that at all. We had a weak team last year. We went
7-9 in the AE and lost to Norfolk St.
Conversely however, we nearly pulled off upsets against Uconn
and Providence, and got a huge win against Rutgers which was the
bright spot of the season. A national TV game against Michigan
State was great too, and we stayed in that game for a while.
Those things can't happen if we play Cupcake U, Cupcake State,
Cupcake A&M, and Cupcake Tech during the non conference
schedule. I'll always advocate for the tougher schedule. The AE
may never put a team in the tournament as an at-large, but we're
definitely not getting in as an at-large with a weak schedule.
There are zero downsides to a tough OOC like we played last
year. The team just needs to get better.

I agree VA. I am quite disappointed in in OOC thus far. I am not
sure if coach Boals thought last year schedule was to tough on
his team or if he had a tough time scheduling teams from the
power 5 conf this year. Either way, or SOS will be horrible come
seeding time if SB wins the AE title and we get the auto bid.
That is how i see it when you have a soft OOC schedule.

Absolutely. Although that didn't seem to hurt UMBC last year ;D
The AE champ is usually a 13 or a 14 seed, so having UMBC as a
16 seed was a landmine waiting to happen for a team like UVA,
which didn't have the typical overwhelming talent of a #1 seed.
Ultimately though, there's no downside and only upside to having
a challenging schedule, so we should just do it.

I think our schedule reflects that we are still a young team
and lots to learn as we go. If everyone improves this year
then next seasons schedule should be a little tougher. Don't
forget we have 6 new faces showing up this year and one will be
a red shirt.

I think if we didn’t play who we did last year, we’d all be
pretty psyched about this lineup of opponents. The PK 80 last
year was a triple - can’t say it’s a homer because we coughed up
the UConn and Ball State games. But those were four good games.
This year’s HOF Tip-off slate isn’t quite as fierce and we don’t
have Maryland in there but overall I’m pleased with the
schedule. Two CAA teams here is nice.
All at-large talk needs to cease immediately.

I agree totally. Even though we had some good halves against
some major powers last year, I don't see the value of those
games, given who we are and the conference that we are in.
Overall, I like this schedule; some very winnable games. This
is really Coach Boals' first year with HIS team imprint through
and through; let's tread on the lighter side this year, and try
to get some quality wins, and if success is great, we can up the
ante next year.

If you're planning your weekend nights over the winter, better
include the Seawolves. The schedule now includes tip times and
count 'em up: SIX home games on Saturday night. No complaints
from me whatsoever. Love the IFCU atmosphere when the
community's out in force. It's an EVENT!
