RE: Bball teams you'd like a series with
If I’m being greedy: Dayton, Cincy, Xavier, Ohio St, and if it’s on a Saturday/Sunday, Louisville and Kentucky.
Realistically: New Mexico, Vandy, Davidson, Northern Iowa, and Rhode Island

What is wrong with you people?
I would take each of those teams in a heartbeat over Lemoyne-Owen, Mississippi College, MVSU, etc.
Exactly!!

Bingo...UAB is a mid-major and playing a quality mid-major non-conference schedule helps (most years) with RPI, attendance, etc...oh yeah UAB fans don't support the good teams we do schedule right?...maybe it has something to do with our current state of affairs and where the basketball team/conference has fallen to because it wasn't always like this...nobody is saying don't try and schedule the best teams possible just do better than Miles, Lemoyne-Owen and a PILE of SWAC bottom feeders...the way things are being done now is NOT working at so many levels...and always question anyone that ALWAYS supports the status quo

Don't play anyone whose average RPI was below 240 for the past 5 years, and our SOS will rise dramatically.

Yep, and that’s 100% to be expected. I actually have no issue with playing a d2 school the first game if it keeps a swac school off the schedule. We have so much garbage in conference at the moment that we can’t afford to play five teams OOC with rpi’s over 200.
