With a potentially overhauled roster, these games are absolutely invaluable. Is it the most challenging opponent? No. If they don't show up, is the potential there to be embarrassed? Yes. Is it necessary for BU to see what he has and get a better understanding of who fits where and how the pieces will fit together? Absolutely. While you don't want a whole pre conference schedule made up of cupcakes, in the era of NIL....you need some.
Disagree. We need a few easy games to start and shake off the rust. After that, I want meaningful, Q1 and Q2 games only. If we lose to a good opponent, fine; at least it will be entertaining. If we play a cupcake that isn't right at the beginning, it's at best a snoozer and at worst a potential season killer.
I mean how good is FDU gonna be next year? Have you even looked at their roster? Most of their players that contributed were seniors and they lost their HC. They’ll go back to a low major bottom feeding program. Not to mention they finished last year as kenpom 265.
I get your point, but have you looked at our roster? We don't even know what it's going to be yet. I know that insiders have their predictions, but the reality is that we POTENTIALLY won't have TSJ, Hawkins or a PG that's played meaningful minutes. We'll know in the next three weeks(I assume), but as it sits now...we have a few items to address. The schedule will play out, as BU doesn't ever schedule 11 bottom feeders.
That being the traditional game between Mizzou and the start of Big Ten season in which we come out flat and almost lose?
Let's show purdont how it's done
Not diggin this game, nothing to gain and everything to lose. I guess BU really doesn't want the toughest schedule in the NCAA
I mean we were 18th in net sos last season…..a lot of sos depends on how your league finishes the season. Our non con sos last season would have been 7th out of the 17 teams ranked higher than us in sos
that was meant to be "does" want the toughest schedule in the NCAA
Or lose with a generational recruit visiting and then lock up said recruit…
Made us sweat in 2005 ncaa tournament. I was there in Indy
Lmao, can you imagine if he just went pro after committing
We would have a computer meltdown that fried the server. LOL.
Not to mention college football games.
