2019-2020 OOC

[GarradJ21]

Chad just reported on Twitter that Tennessee and Cincinnati will start a Home and Home next year. We get the first home game. December 18th.

Side Note: Didn't know that there was no guarantee that we are playing NKU next year giving the above comments by sedziobs

Chad just said it doesn't look like NKU is a go next year so it looks like here is our OOC so far:
@OSU
Michigan (I don't know who is home or away, but I'm thinking Mich will be home first)
@Xavier
UNLV
Tennessee
Neutral vs. IOWA
Paradise Jam..3 games I believe since there's 8 teams (Bowling Green, Fordam, Grand Canyon, Illinois State, Nevada, Valpo, and WKU)

4 games left, would imagine they will be all cupcakes. Hopefully one or two of those games can be a Miami OH type local team.

They aren’t playing Michigan...

That's one hell of a schedule. Probably the best one we've head since at least 2015. Maybe the best in the Cronin era.

Edit: If we don't play Michigan, it still probably matches 2015, when we played Kenpom #21, 30, 31, 32, and 46 out of conference.

Guessing those will be a MAC team, a Horizon team, and three historically black colleges (SWAC and MEAC).

2016 can probably give it a run for the top part of the OOC with 53, 30, 14, 31, and 20. unfortunately that one was filled with 5 300+ teams.

Elite schedule for next year.


Paradise Jam will be all about improving and building team chemistry.

Very likely that Tenn, Xavier, OSU & Iowa are all top 25 teams next season and yet only 1 of them is at home.

Tenn brings in a 5 star
Xavier brings in a top 20 class
OSU brings in a 5 star and a top 10 class
Iowa Loses essentially no one


Starting 5 for next year:
PG: Logan Johnson
SG: Jarron Cumberland
SF: Keith Williams
PF: Tre Scott
C: Nysier Brooks

Bench:
Samari Curtis
Prince Gilliam
LaQuill Hardnett
Trevor Moore
Eliel Nsesome
Mamadou Diarra
RaShawn Fredericks


Really need a backup PG. Would be nice to grab a late spring recruit.. OR if just for one year Mick went the Grad Transfer route.

Yeah, in 2015 we also played five other top 158 teams, compared to just one in 2016. But I agree, the top was just as good.
