That's a couple early season marquis games for the Valley!

[BradleyBrave]

BU-BYU
WSU-Pitt
CU-Michigan

Lots of opportunities for the MVC. We need to win some of these games this year.

BU also Oklahoma State and Utah or Illinois

Don't forget Creighton also gets Xavier/Marquette after Michigan.

Hopefully, all Valley teams take advantage of any opportunities they might have during the non-conference schedule.

Very true... the non-conference slate is definitely the one time you root for all MVC schools to win...

Oh and it looks like ISU has.....oh wait

A road game against SIU-E and some cupcake tournament in B/N?

Beyond the usual ISU put downs we could throw at them, I'm really disappointed in their schedule from a MVC point of view. I really do not care about ISU who their fans get to see or in this case not but in reality, What were they thinking. I hope every school in the MVC asks them! I hope their fans ask them. Embarassing non con regardless of philosophy. The sad thing is they could be pretty good this year and with an upswing in the teams in the Valley this year they have very little room for error if they want to get into the dance.

If we count BYU, they get to count Utah.

But as far as the rest of it...heh

I'm personally not counting BYU as a game we went out and scheduled. Kind of hard to do that. I will, however, count the two quality games in Las Vegas.

I just think it's funny they fall back on two games that they didn't schedule as being the quality part of their schedule. For someone to throw in Ohio as being a "solid team again this year" is more than just a little funny to me.

So, what is the compliation of big games in non-conference schedules for the MVC teams? Is that found anywhere?
