| DUB, I never realized Cancun was only 30 minutes away from the Knapp. Or do neutral site games not count as the "road"?
Let Josh Parker play! |

Neutral site games ≠ road games.

Thanks for posting.
Lots of home games .... but 5 majors, and only 2 are in Des Moines.
I agree about preferring some early road tests, but I guess this schedule will be a good test anyway. Lots of new roles to figure out.
I'll take something like 9-3 / 13-5 MVC over 11-1 / 6-12 MVC any day.

| | Is it just me or does that schedule look a little on the weak side? At some point we've got to at least start playing the big name programs. Even if we get blown out we need to head in that direction. IMHO. |

I think it's a mixed bag.....you've got 5 legit games in Butler, Iowa, Iowa State and the 2 in Cancun. The 2nd Drake tournament isn't bad either....even if people don't know it, NDSU and SFA are pretty decent teams. Definitely plenty of cream puffs on that schedule, too.

| | I don't know about this being a weak schedule. Starting off with Butler .. then Vandy .. then New Mexico or VCU ... UTPA is tougher than nails ... I wouldn't call Stephen F Austin a creme puff and NDSU & Jawga Southern will be really tough too .. don't forget Iowa State and Iowa. If the men kick some arsh again, which I think they will, we will see another tough opponent in the BB. Just because none of the BCS schools will play us home and home or on a nuetral court .. screw them .. I like the schedule and believe it to be a step up from anything we've seen in a long time. |

| | And if Drake does well with it's five "major" games, it will likely get a sixth at home in the Bracket Buster event. |

WKU at Drake would be a fun BB.
