Their coach, Jim Boylen names Bradley among their
"stiff non-conference" opponents..
and "We have stayed true to our philosophy of playing a difficult non-conference schedule
that includes teams from the top leagues across the country. Our team and coaching staff
are very excited about the opportunity to participate in big games at great venues. Our goal
is always to get into the top 25 and compete for an MWC championship. I think this schedule
will prepare us to reach both of those goals."

It looks like ISU is FINALLY upgrading their schedule. Ohio, UIC, UNLV, and UL-M are DEFINATELY an improvement over the garbage they've scheduled in past years.

Of course, Ohio and UIC are games they scheduled last year too, and UNLV was scheduled for them Their latest addition is a home and home with UNCW - a H&H with a CAA school isn't a bad idea, although UNCW has regressed mightily.

An ISU fan who is disappointed wants me to let you know that Basset....who averaged 17.2 points a game was kicked off the team....so Ohio won't be as good as they could have been.

UNLV is the only team I see as a good game and like said above that wasn't their choice.

EDIT: The general consensus among ISU fans is disappointment...if you read the thread about this on redbird fan

Last year's attempt from ISU was a solid 0 out of 10. This year feels like a 1 out of 10.

That must have been Jank's big "plan" that he announced last year......improve next year's schedule by 10%.

The field for the Maui Invitational is set (still possibly subject to change but not likely)...November 22-24, 2010

Wichita State will have an excellent opportunity to get a couple great games...in fact they're bound to get at least two big time opponents...

They are in this tournament with UConn, Kentucky, Michigan State, Oklahoma, Washington, Virginia, and the host Chaminade University of Honolulu.

(last year, Gonzaga won the Maui Invitational beating Colorado, Wisconsin, & Cincy, but Maryland, Vandy, & Arizona were also there)

At least they won't be playing Iowa if they lose in the 1st round - hopefully not Chaminade either! Good chance for the Shox to show that they are a Top 25 team. (I have doubts about #25 - maybe #40 until they prove themselves)

One of Tyler Les' conference opponents has released their schedule...Cal State-Fullerton..
No Valley teams but it could happen on BracketBuster..
CSF played SIUE this past season in the BB but won't return that game until next year

Utah is a future BU opponent, and they have now released their non-conference schedule.........

Utah's trustees are meeting at 12:30PM tomorrow to discuss and potentially decide on accepting the invitation to join the Pac-10.
It is expected that they will decide affirmatively and go, along with Big 12 Colorado, to the Pac-10 and become the 12th member.
The move will drop the Mountain West Conference back to nine members, after Boise State joined the MWC last week.

What would BU fans rather have....OUR's or ISU'S schedule, conference record , post season appearances and Valley finishes the last couple years......?
