OT: And You Thought Our Non-Conference Schedule Was Trash

[Stainmaster]

Jacksonville, Mount St. Mary's, MD-Eastern Shore, Richmond, Maine, Coppin State, Howard, NC A&T, Syracuse, North Texas, Alabama A&M.

Woof.

 

[Wordbomar]

This is embarrassing

Jacksonville, Mount St. Mary's, MD-Eastern Shore, Richmond, Maine, Coppin State, Howard, NC A&T, Syracuse, North Texas, Alabama A&M.

Woof.

But they play PC twice!

 

[Robertelamin]

Didn't they get kicked out of the Nike Elite tournament or am I thinking of another school?

They withdrew because they knew they were going to be awful this season.

 

[HawkHusky]

Georgetown would be a perfect fit for the MEAC. Maybe that's their end-game...?

 

[John]

It's be cool if we could get a bunch of northeastern basketball and football schools together and form an all-sports hybrid conference with a lot of regional rivalries and flavor. We could call it, ummm.... how does "The Big East" sound?

 

[Rocktheworld]

But Villanova, and Providence... and Seton Hall... and Creighton... and.... oh wait, the Big East still blows...

 

[awfuldan]

Wow that is dismal. The poster looks bad too.

I thought we were playing them this year. Is that series over?

Yes. Thank Baby Jesus. Talk about an RPI-killer, win or lose.

 

[Vuce]

Saw this on twitter:

Hoyas non-conf has 7 RPI 320+ teams:
N. Texas St. 320
UMES 321
Maine 337
Howard 338
Coppin St. 343
NC A&T 349
Alabama A&M 351 (out of 351)

Yes, what happened to his neck?

 

[TopDogs]

 

[upstater]

That is a wall of shame right there.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Jeez did Baylor play middle school teams in '05?

 

[MadDogRevival]

If Ewing grew his hair out he'd look like Sasquatch from the beef jerky commercials . . .

Want a ride?

That's one ugly ass man

Ewing didn't get the memo that it's a good idea to improve on Georgetown's 1984 non-conf schedule.

"Why is this schedule so tough? We should go back to old times of burying inferior teams" -Patrick Ewing probably

 

[HooperScooper]

I'm not going to insist I've never seen a national brand schedule less aggressively. But I certainly can't remember a national brand scheduling less aggressively.

Georgetown’s non-league schedule is both awful and a reflection of a larger issue

Woof.

Playing Zona, Auburn, Oregon, Nova, and Cuse and maybe Michigan State is trash?

 

[Stainmaster]

Playing Zona, Auburn, Oregon, Nova, and Cuse and maybe Michigan State is trash?

I don't think it's trash. Several people here do.

They are dumb

 

[ConnHuskBask]

They are dumb

The quality of opponents is fantastic.

I think the gripe, from what I understand, is that the home schedule is pretty weak.

I'm out of state so it all looks good to me on TV, but I understand where they're coming from.
