perhaps a good Valley warm up seeing the same team twice in a season?

Pocket- what's the deal with the home and home series with M.Tenn in the same season?

Doesn't happen often does it? The Aces had this as well a few years ago, playing Loyola (Chi) or Ill (Chi), I forget, twice in the same season...about a week apart. Not sure if that speaks for the difficulties in scheduling or what.

The Redbird non-con is completed and we are pissed.....

Nov. 17 – Tennessee State

Nov. 28 – Jackson State (Illinois State Classic)

Also fitting in there somewhere are home games against SIU-Edwardsville and UIC and a road game at North Carolina-Wilmington. The Redbirds have opted to wait a year to play the return game of last year’s Bracket Buster at Morehead State

You're right, it was Illinois (Chi) during the 2003-2004 season. I think it was even back to back games.

Wasn't Jank on record as saying this year's schedule was going to be better than last year? He's becoming the Bill Snyder of college basketball scheduling. I sure hope the ticket prices haven't gone up.

It is better...

Every ISU fan should send Elgin a 'Thank You' note for handing you your best game against UNLV...hell, include Ohio in that, too (I'm guessing that's the second-best game).

I know scheduling is a challenge, but at least every once in a while a good game will fall in your lap. A couple of bad schedules in a row can be attributed to circumstance, this has to be by design. And even if it is, you have to question that motive unless the goal is to almost make the NCAA tournament every year.

Our schedule has "run at NIT berth" written all over it.
