Questions about NEXT season

[SFP]

I know St. Mary's was willing to play us this year but the schedules just did not work out. I'd love to see us play them!

Good! I'll be more than happy to see our team travel to Alaska (no, just using that as a completely phony hypothetical example! ) if it means the chance of playing some great teams! Sorry, but the idea of playing Air Force (while they're down) or Wyoming is just not the idea of the "marquee" opponent we need to boost our RPI.

BU won't have to worry about its RPI if it is successful in winning more games..

Teams are still being arranged so I don't know too many details. The Southland team is intriguing, but might lose quite a bit this year, and without giving it away, the MWC isn't that exciting and is requiring they won't see the SL team. (That's your clue to the MWC school)

As for the tournament, it's not a new one, it's just not well known. This year's field had an SEC, ACC, CUSA and MVC team in it. So, the MWC probably is taking the spot for the CUSA team and the big fish are still trying to be caught.

Thanks I know the tournament you are talking about now, and I know which teams you are talking about in the MWC and the The Southland Conference. It's not that bad depending on who else they get, but hopefully something better will still come up.

I guess I'm not good with clues..I'm lost.

SFP, St. Mary's would be a nice game. I'm assuming it would have been a 1 and 1 had the dates worked out?

I should have said I THINK I know which teams and tourny he means, I'm not sure.

Well I could be way off I guess, but here's what I draw from his comments:

Drake was in a tourny in Florida (Glenn Wilkes Classic) earlier this year with an ACC and SEC team also in it. As for the teams from what I can draw this Southland team is pretty good but has a lot of Seniors. The best team in the Southland is Sam Houston St. who also happens to have a lot of it's best players being seniors. TCU is in the same state (Texas) as Sam Houston St., hence TCU would not want to play an in-state team from a "lower" conference that could beat them. TCU is also a somewhat uninteresting Mountain West team.

But I guess I don't know for sure and I could be wrong, so don't feel so bad about your clue guessing.

Both teams wanted another game this year and we only had an open date right before Christmas and they were off to Hawaii. I hope they are still talking for next year.
