I would not give DePaul, SIUE, Western, Northern or Loyola the time of day for an exhibition game. Either they agree to play us when it counts or they can pound sand.

a couple of big opportunities against Washington State and Arizona State, but there still are only four teams
confirmed for the Paradise Jam - still unable to fill those final four slots. Wonder if they will just shrink the whole event
to just those four teams.
Also, I am intrigued by a scheduled Nov. 17 "Neutral site game in Charlotte, NC" against an UNKNOWN opponent.

Are you hinting?
no,
the opponent will apparently be Liberty University in Charlotte on Nov. 17, on the campus of Queens University.
ISU gets games vs Santa Clara & Tulsa
Santa Clara finished 42 in NET last year and Tulsa finished a surprising 51 in NET in 2025-26, after going just 13-20 in 2024-25.

Not a total surprise. New Belmont head coach Evan Bradds had a special connection that got Belmont the game at Duke. He was a Duke assistant coach last season.Belmont is playing one of their preseason exhibitions at Duke

Belmont doing the multi-team event Bradley & ISU did last year
Agreed - would have been a good tournament again, but it seems like they dropped down to only a 6 team bracket instead of an 8 team and a separate 4 team at the Disney Wide World of Sports. I'm sure they didn't want to have a 2nd Valley team in as well.
There aren't many tournaments left unfortunately. The Players Era and the Palm Springs events have taken a lot of teams, so there aren't as many out there. I still hope that BU finds a good tournament as it is good to get more neutral site non-conference games against decent mid-major competition.
Not true actually.. they repealed that rule... it used to be once every 4 years. But with the Players Era, the power conferences wanted to go to the same tournament every year for NIL money.
The big change this year actually is that every game counts as a game towards the limit. Previously MTE events only counted as 1 game, even if you played 3 games. So many schools are *not* going to be doing an MTE, especially bigger schools who just want to control their schedule and play other high-majors.
For good mid-major schools, getting an MTE is key to help the strength of schedule. It would be good to get a couple of games at an MTE. Some schools have decided they would rather not pay the travel costs. But let's hope BU can get a good tournament.
