Yeah that looks underwhelming. I'm sure you guys expected much better.

Holy crap this is baaaaad.

That will certainly not help the conference RPI.

The only good thing is that we will have a chance to be 13-0 going into conference play. The worst I can see UTEP is 10-3 OOC.

Glad ODU plays La Tech on the road so the dogs can't continually complain when they get beaten again.

I think if CUSA would go to basketball divisions, this new schedule is close to the repeatable blueprint...now OOC, every school could do a little better (The UTEP OOC looks like Jim Boeheim may have made it for the Miners)

7 road games in conference play between Jan 14 and Feb 13 with 4 games in Texas? That's brutal!

The first 2 listed are exhibition games so only 12 count. I predict 11-1 and no one will care. Attendance will take a hit too.

I was so disappointed when I saw this schedule. Even if it wasn't a home-n-home series, we should've scheduled 1-2 P5 teams on the road (Vanderbilt, TX Tech, Northwestern, anyone)

Imma be honest, UTEP has no shot at an at-large bid with this schedule. Y'all gotta win the Conference Tourney for the autobid.

I agree. Here is the bad news by the numbers:

UTEP MBB opponents RPI at the end of last season (UTEP finished 79)

NMSU 103 (play twice)
UC Irvine 89
Norfolk St 165
SHSU 82
Colorado St 29 (likely opponent in CC)
SIU 278 (likely opponent in CC)
UTRGV 334 (was UT Pan American last year)
Florida A&M 350
Alcorn St 348
Texas St 237
UT Arlington 185

Average rpi of these opponents at the end of last season was 191.9.

Here is the Rice OOC schedule by 2014-2015 RPI:

California: 93
San Francisco: 186
Oregon State: 133
Fresno State:183
Lamar: 224
UC Riverside: 239
UT Arlington: 179
New Mexico: 175
South Alabama: 271
Incarnate Word: 173

Average RPI: 185.6

On paper, our schedule looks a lot better than UTEP's, but it is really not that much better if you base it off of RPI.

With that said, Cal should be pretty good this year, and UNM and USA should be improved.

It's an OK enough schedule. Rhode Island or VCU could win the A-10. Purdue should be fine. Florida is a wildcard as of now but will at least be power-conference respectable. Even with the loss of their stud, Georgia State on the road is a tough out. Buffalo's hard to tell, because they have some talent returning but lost their coach and top couple of players, as I recall. Not crazy about four games against MEAC schools, but it is what it is.

Unless Marshall drastically improves this season might get really ugly...

why do you play JMU twice?

actually, you guys have a pretty good OOC schedule.

its funny, most of our posters on our board are less than enthused by the ODU schedule, beauty in the eyes of the beholder

We are mainly because we ended up playing 4 sub par MEAC Teams other than that our schedule is decent not fabulous.

I think the schedule is just fine, along with the MEAC games. When you have a 25-0 home winning streak, you put in a few guarantee games. 7 home OOC games is a good thing. As a whole, there are several opportunities for quality wins. I would like to see some H-H with some ACC teams, but we all know the challenge with scheduling them (cough, chokies, hoos).
