Topic: MBB Schedule With Tip Times

That home schedule is not very exciting. Queens, Bluefield and the 2 UNC-cities. Duquesne is ok.

UNC-Wilmington is a good add. They won 24 games and made it to the championship game of their conference tournament. Some of their regular season losses were to UNC, UConn and Oklahoma. We will have a hard time winning that game as they return their top 4 scorers.

Siddle is doing a nice job down there. I have parents and a brother that live in Leland just outside of Wilmington and they are impressed by how well they keep trending upward.

Solid schedule. This team is going to be tested very early and with some good competition. Nice change. I hate blue field being on our schedule outside of an exhibition

We're gonna have a hard time winning a lotta games. Do we even have 25ppg coming back from last year?

32 ppg returning, excluding transfers.

Transfers bump the number up to 56 ppg.

That appears to be "Bluefield University" from Virginia instead of "Bluefield State University" which is in West Virginia.  Both are located in the "sprawling" Bluefield "Metroplex" which includes a plethora of both private and public educational entities ranging from Pre-K to higher education!

Which only tends to indicate the lengths that Coach D'Antoni will go to in search of an all-important "W"!!

Guys will step up and fill the voids. Let's see what happens before we jump off the cliff.

Looking forward to this basketball season.  Win the SBC tournament and go to the big dance.  DD is going to kick some more fans out of his practices and prove his haters wrong!  GO Herd!

Like the last 2 years?

Queens and Bluefield should never be on the schedule. Other than that, it's OK. Be an interesting year.

Thought you got booted from practice last year.  Sour grapes = Bust

Never got booted but if you want to run with it, go for it. I just got tired of the same ole same ole. Every year we are faster. Every year we are better. Every year blah blah and then a first round exit. When they fill out an entire roster with D1 talent I'll take another look. But if you want to continue to be fooled, good for you. But facts are facts!!!

I agree. Instead of playing a NAIA school like Bluefield. We should be playing a Division 1 school, or better be playing another road money game against a P5 school. I guess Dan just wants to improve his overall W/L record playing an NAIA  mid season game?

[Collis P]

Interesting - the men have 17 home games and the women have 12 ......  Not sure who schedules each team and who approves

Don't shoot the messenger, but the college basketball data site at https://haslametrics.com/ forecasts Marshall as the favorite to win the Sun Belt this year. As I previously reported, the Bart Torvik college basketball data site at https://barttorvik.com/ picks Marshall 4th in the Sun Belt, as does the The Almanac, Volume 2, a 900+ page publication written by the authors of the college basketball podcasts Field of 68 After Dark and Three Man Weave.

Anyone know when the Sun Belt basketball media event is being held?

Excellent!

Would be great to win a Sun Belt regular season or conference tourney title

Go Herd!

[pembrook burrows III]

This is a pretty good daily podcast on college basketball, and in this episode it previews the Sun Belt. It is a nice rundown.

Obviously, in the "grand scheme" of D1 College Basketball, the SBC is pegged to be nothing more than a "Ho-hum", also ran Conference in 23-24!!

JMU , SMiss and App St will be decent at best. After that the conference is junk.

who has he kicked out of his practices ?Me and a few others decided not to go back on our own. I do hope he proves us wrong, but I don?t think he will.

Does anyone care about basketball in the Sunbelt? ODU should be good but they won't get rid of Jeff Jones.

No!! It's just a past time until football season in this conference. There is 2 almost 80 year old coaches in this conference also. Even soccer is a bigger deal than basketball.
