My hope was only one more Quad 4 near the holidays, but realistically, I expected this. The last one should be a good opponent at the Barn or a true road game. A likely step up from last year, depending on the Charleston draw, but still a lot is to be desired...

It's nice to see you and the Dink Meter remain close.

? I’m talking about the schedule and the abundance of Q4 games…

After winning the Twin Cities Championship, we should be primed for our first true road game. I assume SMU will be after the two Big 10 games. Keep the quality opponent momentum rolling and pay off the Gopher faithful with a legit Power 4 at the Barn on December 15th/16th. Throw in one more...

I went to the game when they still existed, and it was still a pretty crappy event, and really bad scheduling.

I don't know what the attendance will be, but I'm glad we scheduled it. There is more intrigue in playing them than in playing IUPUI; you cannot deny that. My hope is we absolutely demolish them, remind them who their father is, and send them back to St. Paul with their tails between their...

Neutral court is weak, but I will take it. Do we have three games left to schedule? I think a cupcake over the holidays is all but assured. Can we get a Power 4 home game? I'd love that paired with a true road game at a stronger Mountain West or Missouri Valley program (assuming Power 4 isn't...

Oh interesting. They are also ranked #61 for their high school recruits (Gophers are #32 for reference). I like our chances.

I don’t think the transfers are included in that ranking. Their transfer class is interesting… 4/5 were super highly rated coming out of high school with multiple years of eligibility remaining. They’ve underperformed their hs rankings at the power 5 level. Then they have 1 solid Horizon...

I don't know how they've done in the portal, but they were a middle-of-the-road ACC team last year. I'll take it. Hopefully it's Q2. Get a good home game (Q2). Get a good road game (Q1). And I'll be satisfied. Edit: Just saw the summer practice videos. I want Duke at Cameron.

I think he's just setting expectations. He doesn't want to be forced into it. There's no reason not to do this; it creates a buzz (and $) for a tune-up game. I'm sure the "buy" is significantly lower, too. And I don't want to hear about "putting together your NCAA tournament resume" with the...

Never been to a wedding in WI where at least one person in a semi-formal environment is sportin’ a packer jersey.

I agree with your take 100%. My question is: why is Niko scheduling as if they're expecting to win 4 Big Ten games?

I know you are just the messenger, but you're killing me. :ROFLMAO:

So my read is: NDSU: First game of the season W Ill: Tune up before Charleston Classic UTSA: Tune up during Holidays/Resuming Big 10 play Please build a respectable schedule around this garbage. Please.

I feel like I need to preface this statement by disclosing I have no St. Thomas affiliations. Would it be the worst idea to play a true road game instead of a neutral site? I'd guess most years it will be a Q2 matchup, which wouldn't be a huge blow if hell freezes over and we lose the game...

Regarding non-con, is that accurate? I may be misremembering, but didn't we schedule Gardner Webb super late? Like a month before the season? I'm really hoping we schedule some real games beyond the Charleston tourney. Play a road game if you have to!

I voted "A." First off, I think Niko is an "A" coach, and the 'whole' of next year's team will be greater than the sum of its parts. When I watched games last year, there were a few things I lamented about over and over again that I hoped Niko would address in the offseason. There were also...

I've been a bit out of pocket lately, so it may have been mentioned, but one thing I love about all these adds (beyond potential) is: All played for winning programs: Evans: NCAA 1st round Palmer: NCAA 1st round Groves: NCAA 2nd round Grady/Kordel: Champs I get that not all of them are proven...

Name This Player: Freshman Year Stats: Min: 4.0/ PTS: 1.0 / AST: 0.4 / 3PT%: 33% Junior Year Stats: Min: 21.8 / PTS: 5.9 / AST: 1.5 /3PT%: 29% - - - - It is Nique Clifford (before transfering to Colorado St). Niko didn't "reward" Kai with a spot. Niko is playing for keeps, and if he didn't...
