Don't love the Drake home game falling on a weekday when students are out of town as that is a big one if SIU is going to contend. And this wouldn't have been a bad year to go to Belmont as far as it being a little more winnable than usual with them rebuilding.
Otherwise, looks alright - a couple fun Sunday home games against Mo State and Bradley on either side of Super Bowl Sunday.
Incredibly bummed that SIU will not be travelling to Nashville as my wife and I were just waiting for the schedules to come out so we can plan a trip there. Also unfortunate that the Valpo (relatively local game for me) is on Valentines Day as we had already made plans (that I will try to cancel now). I fully plan on being at the UIC game though.

Props to you on having made Valentine's plans five months in advance!

Haaaaaaaaaaaa. This is atypical I assure you but the wife basically told me awhile back not to make plans on the 14th and so I remain humbled. That being said, I'm at least hopeful that this may change her mind as we make the short drive to Valpo every year, including last years ice storm disaster.
Some of the game times have been announced including our MTE which includes 2 possible midnight games and our UNLV game is at midnight:
I see we have three espn "wildcard games".... unsure what that is. Are those game that espn is saying they may show if those teams are doing well?

Think ESPN will get the choice of what matchup they want 14 days before the game.
There's a full list of all the ESPN games here:
Coverage of the 2023 portion of the schedule begins on Sunday, Jan. 1, as ESPN and the Conference will utilize a Wildcard Selection process for the first of nine times to determine the remaining linear telecasts on ESPN Networks. As part of the Wildcard Selection process, ESPN, working in conjunction with league staff, will announce its telecast selection 14 days from competition. The remaining Wildcard Selection dates are Jan. 7, 14, 21 and 29 and Feb. 4, 11, 19 and 26.
