2025-2026 Non Conference Schedule

[VT4700]

And maybe mentioned here but I missed it but what about recruiting HS players, Schedule like this probably won't entice kids coming here.

Same with transfers. And if I were a coach recruiting the same guys we do, I would certainly make sure I let all transfers and recruits know how bad our schedules were the past 2 years. It's just disgusting.

Don't hold your breathe. He just did his interview the other day saying how hard it is for A-10 teams like us to schedule P5 programs, even citing several "peer" programs who are in the same boat. Except none of the programs he cited are in the same situation. They all learned from last year (particularly SLU and Davidson) course corrected and now have really nice OOC schedules this year. We did not adjust, we just complained.

The question I would really like to know the answer is this.
Is Mooney gaslighting us in that interview? OR
Does Mooney not know what the other A-10 program's cited OOC schedule is, despite it being public knowledge?

If it is the latter, it demonstrates a level of inattentiveness, if it is the former, woo boy.

Regardless of the answer to your second paragraph, this is just more evidence that his time has passed. This along with everything else related to the men’s bb program, it’s past time for a complete overhaul.

Are we even trying for road only games with majors? If not, Mooney should quit complaining about how hard it is to schedule quality games. If so, how many majors turned us down? If not all 70+ of them, again, quit complaining. And, what about quality mid majors? Seems like these should be easy to get home and homes with. We trying for those? If not, again, quit complaining Mooney.

the current slate doesn't have one game to get excited about. we could go undefeated and not raise an eyebrow.
I still expect we'll add a good game or two, though. we desperately need to.

With 13 games, we should do a heck of a lot better than a good game or two, but I realize when you are 0 for 11, this is the best we can hope for.

And as we all should know by now, we never dominate even a terrible OOC schedule. Main case in point: last year's. So prepare yourselves for a 7-6 effort against this slop.

Slop is a great word for it. I think I mentioned garbage earlier. What other names should we call our schedule? We can just add to these and keep adding:

Garbage
Slop

I expect we will too. 1 buy game road/1 neutral. Maybe up in Anacostia. but only a personal preference. I like being 1 of the only paying Richmond fans in attendance. That and formerly the Gazelle Group mte's were closest to our staples.

regardless our own Philly Bob said we could go 13-0 OOC and not be at large. also don't forget...

Just win more. Just go 14-4 A10.

 

[spiderman]

if we go 14-4 in the A10, I'll be upset that we didn't give ourselves a chance at good wins ooc.
9-9 in the A10 and we might as well have scheduled harder since we weren't getting an at large anyway.
5-13 in the A10 like last year? well then we scheduled appropriately again.

Coach Extension just wants wins, not necessarily quality wins.
