2022-23 Out of Conference Schedules.

[tribecalledquest]

Like how you knew Ja'Shon and Marcus Domask weren't coming back?

I never said I "knew" that. That was my prediction/guess. I know about the schedule.

Either way I'm not losing sleep whether you believe it or not.

Belmont with their weakest non-conference schedule I've seen in a while; perhaps ever. I wasn't expecting much as I saw other teams' come out and Belmont not mentioned. But damn.

That's not terrible. It's not great but it's not a boat anchor either. I get wanting a little balance due to the competition you see in league play jumping up significantly.

I agree that it is not terrible, but he is correct that it is weaker than we've had in years. I have no special knowledge of what they were doing, but my suspicion is that with such a young team, they wanted to ease it up a little.

This looks like a good schedule to me. Ohio, Furman, Georgia State, Middle Tennessee, Chattanooga, and Samford have all been good recently and then there's the MTE. Might not be the 30th ranked non-conference schedule you had last year but I wish SIU was scheduling like this.

[BelmontFansExist]

You Guys are all correct! It's not a bad non-conference schedule. It's just weaker than I've seen from Belmont in a while, hence the disappointment. The majority being away/neutral games should help with NET rankings. Honestly, overall it probably plays well with the NET rankings, especially with playing much better competition in the MVC. I just have a hard time seeing this schedule warranting an at-large without a couple marquee games. I'm used to feeling confident with the schedule that Belmont at least is in position for an at-large before the season starts. I think they'd need to only lose a handful of games (or maybe even less) to be in consideration this year, which will be much tougher now being in the MVC. Still excited for the season, and especially for the MVC games!

Belmont went 26-4 in 2021 with an absolutely horrible non-con and didn't get in.

If they go 26-4 this year, they'll get in easily.

I'm rooting for the MVC as much as anyone, but I disagree with this. The 2020 UNI team was 25-6 with a neutral site win over South Carolina and a road win over #24 Colorado and was likely on the wrong side of the bubble, had there been a tournament. A 26-4 Belmont team might get in (and I hope they do), I just have a problem with the word easily being in there.

They’d be in. Their non conference is solid. In 2021, you also have to factor in a horrible conference schedule as well as non conference. The conference part is the biggest upgrade their schedule could’ve gotten.

All UNI had to do was win one game in StL and we didn't get it done. That's the reason. The only bonkers Valley Tournament ever.
