EMU will not be in Ypsilanti November 21. Trust me.

Hint: get some sun screen and save it.

It will probably be hot and sunny on Nov 21 where EMU will be.

Superfan & emu_steve ->

As long as EMU won't be playing against SVS in November -
THANK GOD!!!!!! Maybe Boone's Goons will play American University in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

:D

"nice try" (I'm saying that tongue in cheek).

There will be no American U-P.R. on the schedule. All the schools are D-I schools and some are "name" programs from conferences like SEC, C-USA, etc.

It is a good tourney and I'll be there.

and yes I'll pack my sun blocker.

I'm assuming that EMU will release the schedule soon. I assume that Sag. Valley will be dropped as the tourney is 3 games.

I'm ready for UB (FB) and ready for hoops.

Boone waited one year to long. I know of many people that will not be going to any EMU BB games because they have been burned out with previous four year altra weak schedules. It will still be one the weakest If the rest of the schedule is what I think it is.

BTW, 3 of the 6 teams in this tourney have Sagarins within the top 100 teams in D-1.

This is a good tourney and I look forward to a very competitive tourney.

No offense EMUSteve but Boone had a good tournament last year and then at the last minute pulled out of it. I will wait and see. It would impress me a lot more if he had a good team coming to the Convo than play one on the road.

Schedule is out. and the tourney is in the Virgin Islands.

Not a bad schedule but one that could be better. Like I have stated many times the students are paying $30 million (and now even more: one of this thing the Prez refinanced was the Convo) for the Convo to basiclly sit empty. This home schedule will not bring in any more but will more than certainly bring in less fans.

Boone has also only 1 win in 5 against teams ranked higher than 100, he is only 5 for 35 against teams ranked better than 150.

He has a chance to play 4 teams ranked higher than 100 and 5 ranked better than 150. The only thing that makes this an almost good schedule is the tournament. Other than that it sucks.

In reality the BIGGEST game on here is that first game against Marshall they lose that and they can kiss the fans goodbye for the rest of the year.
