| Schedule almost complete... Obviously the 18 game conference schedule which has been decided, we will play vandy twice not sure yet though on the other 4 SEC opponents that we will play twice next year. So 8 SEC teams 1 game each, 4 SEC teams twice, an Vandy twice, equaling 18 Anne schedule.
For the OOC...
HOME: Xavier, Wichita state, Memphis, Oakland, Kennessaw State, Western Carolina, 1 more low-mid major
AWAY: Georgetown, Virginia
NEUTRAL: 3 games in Puerto Rico
If we can come out with a tournament win in puerto Rico, the rest of the schedule sets up nicely, lots of home games. Need to re establish that home court advantage at TBA.
Hard to predict a win total without knowing the full SEC schedule though, should be out in August. |

| One thing I want to happen this year is for us to beat Oakland. They have been decent, but every time we play them we've had a chance to take over the game but could not capitalize. |

| | Senior Member | There was also talk about a Big 10 team being on the schedule this year. Either Michigan, MSU, or Indiana. |

| Quality schedule and thank God we won't see Oakland on our schedule next year. Talk about a thorn in our sides!
I love the home games with Western Carolina, Wichita St, and Xavier. Also, can't wait to see us play in D.C.!

| Sorry. I ment after this season. I worded it wrong ;)
And if you tell me that they are on there again, I'll die lol. I thought last year was the last time we'd see them and forgot about the 2 and 1 series.

| To be completely honest, none of the home games save for Memphis are really that good. Wichita lost their entire starting five, Xavier lost four seniors including Tu Holloway, and none of the others will probably make the NCAAs. There's potential of going undefeated at home with that schedule. Georgetown is a great road game and I'm simply elated to not be playing the same BE team three years in a row. Virginia's a solid team with a solid coach as well. |

Depending on what 4 SEC teams we play twice, we could easily win in the range of 21-22 regular season games, maybe more depending on the SEC draw.
A 22-8/23-7 record going into the sec tourney would be nice.

I do think Xavier will be much better than advertized but not a normal Xavier team.
