Looks like we still need to add 2 games to get to 30. Probably a couple cupcakes ahead of the AFA road game.
It looks like they have most of non-conf schedule up on cubuffs.com http://www.cubuffs.com/SportSelect.d...&DB_OEM_ID=600

Wow. That is one HELL of a first 3 game schedule. @AF, Georgia, @CSU. Only Georgia will out talent us, but the determination from the other 2 certainly will be full bore. No real warmup games unless PR is easy...

EDIT -- for those that don't know, the other teams invited to the PR Tipoff are Alabama (I want revenge), Iona, Maryland, Purdue, Temple, Western Michigan and Wichita State. Some good competition there. Hopefully we can get the two games 'Nik mentioned before we head down there for a little tune-up.

So much for boosting SOS, I guess. Georgia ended the year with a 47 RPI, CSU with a 50. Fresno - 203 RPI, Wyoming - 264, Cal Bakersfield - 310, Texas Southern - 192, Air Force 110.
Nice to see lessons were learned.
"What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
We will have an improvement though if for no other reason than the PR Tipoff. Gotta avoid Western Michigan though.
* Alabama - 59
* Iona - 68
* Maryland - 97
* Purdue - 14
* Temple - 28
* Western Michigan - 179
* Wichita State - 35
True.
We also don't spend so much time in the 300s (Idaho St., Alcorn St., Texas Pan Am, Longwood, Maryland Eastern Shore, etc.) so that is helpful.
It's hardly the non-conference schedule most of us were hoping for (although I'm with Snow when it comes to how tricky the early portion is), but it is an improvement.
Looks like it's going to be a 1 game home addition.
This schedule is plenty strong enough. I'd say that it's right where it needs to be for where we're at as a program. Enough winnable games to have some confidence about making the NIT and enough going on with RPI that we could be on the right side of the bubble for the NCAA if we do better than expected with our overall record and Pac-12 finish.
I'm very happy with this.
Something to keep in mind is that we'll be able to pay more to visitors and attract better home games as the revenue value of our home games goes up (packed crowds, higher ticket prices, larger season ticket base (with donations tied to season tix), being able to charge for parking, etc.). It's a process.
not optimal, but shows a push in the right direction.
Yep.
Pretty amazing with the set-up though. We don't leave the state from late November until after New Year's. No excuse for the team not to gain some confidence.

Wow, big change from last year OOC. PR tip off is going to be great for this team. Would be nice to get Maryland with Turgeon or a rematch with Alabama after the 1 pt loss in MSG. It's good the Maryland-Eastern Shore's of last year have been replaced with Wyoming's.
The one unfortunate thing as I see it is CU's first three Pac home games in the form of Utah, UW and Wazzu (first 3 Pac games overall) are going to occur over Christmas Break, so the students won't be around to get the CEC rocking. Hopefully they're able to still get big crowds in there, getting off to a slow start in league play by not taking care of business at home would suck.
Like the Buffs, the Pac is very much in rebuilding mode for basketball.

Any idea if it's going to be before the PR tipoff? I'm not going to lie, I'm nervous about starting our season out that way. I'd love to at least get our feet a little wet first.
Adding a game before the PR tip-off would seem the likely choice. Women open up about a week before the men, as it shows right now, so they have the room in there to add another game.
Speaking of the women, any thoughts on their upcoming season BeBe?
