2025-2026 Non Conference Schedule

I'm sure we'll add a big one since we don't get a high major in our MTE.

Getting even one of these games has proven tough. Finding two schools in close proximity with dates that work for everyone seems to make it more than twice as hard.

We fly charter...unless we're talking cross-country like USC/UCLA like you mention, it's not a huge deal. And if we're a buy game, they're gonna be paying us $100K, we can afford an out and back.

I am not focusing on cost. I am focusing on our schedule and a good way to get 2 majors on the schedule. If we play back to back, with a day off in between, we only need a small window to make both games happen. If we try to find two separate games spread out, we now need two windows to make 2 games happen. I really don't care how we get them or when we play them. It just needs to happen.

 

[SFspidur]

Yeah, I just think finding two games in a single window is even tougher than two games on separate dates.

Looks like they were able to check off quite a few boxes. Nice work by the American staff.

 

[spiderman]

yeah, I'd take that schedule.
I assume VCU is a buy game ... or would they go there?

 

[VT4700]

If we haven't bought into the road only approach at majors yet, it is long overdue. The A-10 is not what it used to be, and we can't expect to get even 2 for 1s with majors right now. Just play true road games like American is doing.

And get paid to play at their home site.

Use this money to pay the players.

Didn’t we play Auburn with no return game last year?

Yes, but nothing so far this year.

 

[gcarter52]

Yes, but nothing so far this year.

Right, Auburn was signed over the summer last year, be patient and let miracles happen.

 

[97spiderfan]

We need more than 1 good game on our schedule. We need at least 3 in my opinion at a minimum. We've got zero on the board.

You worry too much! I hope you don’t have ulcers 🙏

SLU with the sort of matchup we need to be going after if the big boys won't play. Similarly, Loyola is playing San Francisco at Chase Center.

San Francisco Welcomes Loyola Chicago, Sacramento State for Annual USF Legacy at Chase Center - University of San Francisco Athletics

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - Chase Center announced today that the venue will host the annual USF Legacy, the college basketball double-header featuring the University

[SpiderTrap]

I like the men's and women's doubleheader concept. With our women's team being so good lately - I wish UR would try to this out, and maybe entice even more fans to the women's game.

Looks like University of New Haven's firstever d1 game is pretty solid.



Good thing moon is such good buddies with Rhoades.
