[QUOTE="ectofrog, post: 553362, member: 4915"] QUOTE(TCU82Grad @ Apr 30 2010, 01:22 PM) [snapback]553342[/snapback] Whats the non-conference schedule going to be like, I think that will define the season the most. We can do it two ways: 1. Have a really easy non-conference schedule filled with easy opponents at home to help the team gain confidence, learn the system and learn how to play with eachother. The upside here is that we could be 14-1, 13-2 or something going into conference play, but the downside being would require a monster conference season to get a postseason bid. 2. Have a difficult, tough non-conference schedule filled with tough opponents on the road and neutral sites, hoping that the tough opponents will make the team stronger mentally and physically to prepare them for conference play. If we could steal a win or two and hold our own in the non conference portion, our RPI will be strong and would require us to be decent, not amazing, in conference play to snag a postseason bid. I think the scheduling philosophy should reflect the goals of this team. If the goal of the team is the NCAA tournament, option 2 should be the way. If the goal of the team is to improve on last year, be more competitive and try to finish with a winning record in conferece play, and try to look for the long term, option 1 is the way. Well, I can tell you with 99% confidence that the non-conference scheduling will reflect a mixture of 1 and 2, and will not be an either/or proposition. There will be some tough games, at home, on the road, and perhaps in a neutral site at a preseason tourney. There will also be some cupcakes as well. No one ever goes ALL tough or ALL cupcake with regards to scheduling OOC basketball. [/QUOTE]
