Non Conference Schedule next season

**nallen34** · 12-28-2012, 12:57 PM

Here is a look at what our schedule might possibly look like next year. I based the dates off of trends of our past scheduling and trends of schedules from teams that have participated in the diamond head classic that have 10 teams in their conference.

Important Dates (all dates are guesses)

First official day to practice Friday September 27

Scrimmage Sunday October 27

Exhibition Sunday November 3

First official day to play a game Friday November 8

Thanksgiving break Sat Nov 23-Sun Dec 1

Finals Week Mon Dec 16-Fri Dec 20

Diamond Head Classic Sun Dec 22, Mon Dec 23, and Wed Dec 25

Start of conference play Sat January 4

Non Conference Schedule (most dates are guesses; bolded teams/dates are the teams/dates that we are for sure playing)

Fri Nov 8 vs a Low Major team?

Tues Nov 12 vs a Low Major team?

Wed Nov 20 vs a Low Major team?

Sun Nov 24 vs a Low Major team?

Sun Dec 1 UMKC

Mon Dec 2 Auburn

Fri Dec 6 Iowa

Wed Dec 10 Michigan

Sat Dec 14 UNI @ WF Arena

Sun Dec 22 Diamond Head Classic-vs a Low Major team or Mid Major team

Mon Dec 23 Diamond Head Classic-vs a Mid Major team or High Major team

Wed Dec 25 Diamond Head Classic-vs a Mid Major team or High Major team

Tues Dec 31 @ BYU

Sat Jan 4 Start of conference play

I put the Michigan game on a Wednesday instead of a Saturday because I don't see too many available Saturdays that aren't early in the season where our students will be on campus. So Wed Dec 10 seemed fitting since the students will be on campus then. I would love to see BYU later in the non conference compared to an early season road game, and that's why I placed it on New Years Eve. I would love to see us progressively play harder teams the closer we get to conference play to make it an easier transition from non conference to conference play. Hopefully this is how the schedule pans out!

Also here are the rosters and depths charts IMO for the next couple years:

I think we get one or two more games then that. I believe in the past the Hawaii tourneys like that only count as 1 or 2 games on the schedule that is why you see the teams that play in those alot with more games played. That may not be true anymore but I know it use to that way.

They do only count as 1. All teams every year don't play more than 12 to 13 games though. We play 13 every year.

I didn't know we are playing in that tourney next year, missed that one. Who are other teams?

South Carolina, Oregon state, saint Marys, George Mason, Hawaii is hosting, maybe Colorado state, and one other un announced team

Love that you did this.

My eyes light up every time I think of that Michigan game. That should be a great night!

Yeah I just wanted to paint a picture better for people of what our non conference schedule would look like next year.

I love our schedule already next year. Iowa and Michigan are great home games. UNI instead of Drake on a neutral court. At BYU as a true road test. Then possibly a game vs an SEC team. And just think all of those games aren't even part of our yearly tourney where we could play a couple more solid mid and high major teams!

**NATEizKING** · 12-28-2012, 04:58 PM

That would be a tough stretch playing UMKC, SEC team, Iowa, Michigan and UNI. Not a bad non-conference schedule with that tourney included and the return trip to the mormons.

**megamanxzero35** · 12-28-2012, 05:18 PM

I believe we play BYU in the Jazz's arena.

That would be excellent!

Schedule is improving year by year.

**cyclones500** · 12-28-2012, 05:33 PM

Thanks for looking into it.

I also wasn't aware of Diamond Head Classic -- love to get back into tournaments like that.

Is Big 12/SEC going to happen officially, or hasn't that been determined? If it does happen, who would we face? I would guess something like Vanderbilt.

If I get time, I'll fill in teams for those early home games just for fun.
