No west coast game.

Travis Carey · September 10, 2012

Is there a loss anywhere on this schedule?

K-State?

risinggreen · September 10, 2012

So I'm guessing that we open with Lamar? After Creighton of course.

I think the first two of the above kind of depends on how well we do against the last two of the above.

Just to remind people: WKU had a higher rated 2011 recruiting class than we did. And they beat us in the Belt tourney. They peaked at the end of the year. ALL of their freshmen got a full year of college basketball under their belt.

Throw on top of that the fact that your conference opponents know you MUCH better than a K St or a Creighton does, and you can count on at least 4 conference losses.

It is very possible that even if we beat both K St. and Creighton we turn around and lose at WKU and MTSU.

Yep. And, whatever the under is, take it!!

Most of that WKU class is not even there tho.

With Harper , they are still a dangerous team and not to be overlooked

Who else did they lose besides Gordon? I don't count Peters ("Snap", right?) because he never took the floor for them.

The big guy Vinny Zollo left.

Army of Dad · September 10, 2012

Very underwhelming home schedule, unless the unknown home game turns out to be good. I know teams are probably afraid to play us it the Pit, but damn.

UNT90 · September 10, 2012

The big guy Vinny Zollo left.

3.7 pts and 2 rebounds in 15 minutes is easily replaceable.

Aside from Gordon, I think all their major contributors return. It will be a dog fight in Bowling Green... Both times...

GrandGreen · September 10, 2012

I think NT should be favored in every Belt game. USA could be better than either MTSU and WKU. Away at any of these three teams will be tough but on paper none should be able to hang with NT. There is not a player in the league who should be able to play with Mitchell and unlike last year; NT has a lot more options. NT has seven players returning that started a lot of games last year. Add to that Hardwick, Coleman, Patton and Taylor and a coach that I believe will take the conference games a lot more serious than JJ and NT should be a heavy favorite to win.

wardly · September 10, 2012

where is preseason NIT?

MeanGreenTexan · September 10, 2012

I think the K-State game will tell us a lot about where this season goes. Win that game, and we should be going to MSG to play some other excellent teams. Once there, anything goes.

Creighton is a good test, I expect the game to be close. Would be one I would favor us to win if it were at the Super Pit. St. Louis will be a nice feather-in-the-cap road win.

For me, I think the X-factor of the year will be what we get out of Patton. We still haven't seen this guy play with the team. If he's the real deal and can be a significant contributor, then looking at this schedule, we should have around 25-27 wins this year.

Yeah he shouldn't be but he was a loss nevertheless and you never like to lose a post player. They have the nucleus, even without Gordon, to be a top team again in the Belt.

where is preseason NIT?

The first round is held in four locations with a host team at each. For us we will be in Manhattan, Kansas for the first two games and if we can win those two we will advance to Madison Square Garden in New York to play the winner of the other three locations.

That class also lost Cezar Guererro, a 4-star guard that never showed up at WKU (who has since gone to Oklahoma State, bailed out on them and is transferring to Fresno) and a 7 footer (3 or 4 star, depending on which evaluation site you prefer) who had to go JUCO and should join them next year.

Their super recruiting class is down to TJ Price and George Fant. Both very talented, and some other nice complementary pieces still around from class of 2011... But the guys who made that class stand out in terms of evaluations will not be wearing (and in some cases, never wore) WKU laundry.
