Furman says the Iowa Realty Invitational will be 12/5-12/6. The first game is Furman vs. Texas-San Antonio. The second game is Drake vs. North Carolina Central. Then the winners and losers play each other the next night.

That link says UTPA will play, the link I found says UTSA will play. Plus the link I found has the match-ups. So it's kind of breaking news

| | Furman isn't a bad team. They will give us a good game in the final. |

This schedule certainly appears to be tougher than what Iowa and Iowa State usually play out of conference.
While ISU has not scheduled extremely tough competition, we did play at Bradley, at Oregon State, at Drake, UNI, Iowa, and Minnesota last year. This year we play at Houston, at Hawaii, at Iowa, at UNI, Drake and Oregon State. Where ISU loses some respectability is the amount of directional and hyphenated schools we play. This year, the following teams will come to Ames:
North Dakota
UC-Davis
Loyola Marymount
UW-Milwaukee
and probably about five or six other bad opponents.
Not a powerhouse slate, but road games at Houston, Hawaii, Iowa and UNI will help battle test ISU and several junk games at home should allow us to work our massive amounts of newcomers into the lineup and try and gain some wins and confidence. |

| | That actually looks a lot tougher than ISU schedules in the past few years. At least "Upstate" isn't on there again. |

Don't be so sure until the final six or so teams are named. I would say our schedule is very similar to what it has been for several years. A handful of solid opponents and a handful and a half of crappy ones. |

| It looks like the MVC schedule is out. Drake seems to be one of the last to release their full schedule, but we may be able to piece together Drake's schedule from the other MVC teams. What I've found so far:
12/31- vs MSU
1/14- @ ILST
1/21- @ MSU
2/15- vs ILST
