Too bad it is on the road
SLU just scheduled a game with Drake at a neutral site. Too busy to come to Carbondale.

I think moving the game was shitty, but I get what they are doing. Ford needs a good tournament run, especially with his group this year. They are positioning for an at large with their scheduling. Although I think SIU will be a decent squad this year, Drake looks poised to be a tourney team again and would seem to be more of a sure thing in terms of NET ranking. Plus a neutral site game vs an away game.
Hopeful after this year we return to the home and home moving forward.

Yeah it sucks in the short-term but it might be even better of a game in 2022 with SIU hopefully taking that next step.

I think you nailed it. Heaven forbid they may lose twice to MVC teams.

SLU game got pushed to next year because we play in a conference game on Dec. 1, which was the date when we were to have played SLU. I don’t know what’s up with that conference game on that date. Also, Bryan talked about non-conference games at the open house yesterday, no mention of Murray.

You're right. I missed that. No mention of Murray at all. He also said that we have a couple of contracts to finish up. I know there is a home game coming on November 12th but he mentioned one of those contracts being used for a home opener before the 12th.

I think the earlier conference games are COVID precautions in case of cancellations. Would give them more open dates during the normal conference season to reschedule games.
Looks like a very weak home schedule. So far the highlight is SEMO 😖
I don't understand the need for an foia.
It's Heff not sure why he just don't ask. I know scheduling is hard but it is part of the job. I always want to see at least name programs at the Arena doesn't have to be power 5 schools but I don' t usually get to excited to see the sisters of the poor teams either. IF you are going to play weak schools at least make them regional and I hate it when we play non-D1 schools. Hearing we are going to play one again.

Austin Peay finished ahead of the much revered Murray State in the OVC last year.

They’ve been a decent team lately but lost Terry Taylor to the NBA.
SIU @ Tulsa December 11th
