I remember back in January Mick mentioned on one of his shows Michigan State at the Palace of Auburn Hills in December as long as they don't back out, got that though ESPN after complaining to them about being snubbed

I never heard that one. If that happened it'd be great, they should be top 10. Believe it when I see it though

Chad (bearcat journal) posted a podcast yesterday about scheduling issues and Wichita state. Pretty good and interesting listen.
The other guy on the podcast suggested something I've wondered for awhile. If the big boys won't play you, why don't all the non P5 teams play each other. If everyone is looking for games, there are plenty of good teams out there to get games

The same discussions the same comments were made last year and all season. We know scheduling is an issue. We are all well aware of it. At this point I just want to start hearing some names of teams. Whether we are playing UNC or Albany I just want to know.

It was interesting to hear someone that knows maybe more than us, detail the problem and come up with a somewhat solution.

The comments made by Chad and Mark Adams in that podcast were definitely on point. There needs to be some sort of alliance/gentlemen's agreement between the higher resource non-P5/Big East basketball schools with regards to scheduling OOC. This way the schools can demonstrate to the NCAA selection committee they have top 50-100 wins. The following schools need to get together and figure this out:

1. UC
2. Memphis
3. UConn
4. Wichita State
5. Dayton
6. VCU
7. Gonzaga
8. St. Mary's
9. San Diego State
10. BYU
11. Colorado State
12. Illinois State
13. Nevada
14. New Mexico State

I'm sure there are a few more.

Why would the Big East be exempt from this?

They seem to be able to schedule competitive games. Unlike us

I don't know all of their non-con schedules off the top of my head. I do know that we have played multiple teams in that conference the past couple years though.
