WKU will travel to the Baton Rouge to play Wisconsin-Milwaukee. If they win the South Region they will advance to MSG on 11/27! If they don't they are likely to be a home team in the Consolation round on 11/24. What a way to increase SOS!! Let's go Tops!!

Congrats to your programs for getting in this tournament. You have some basketball games that your fanbase can be excited about. God, I'm really starting to not care for our AD.

Colgate heads into UConn

Great to see on the schedule, and likely good practice for the annual Carrier Dome trip

I like the makeup of this year's team. Now if they could just stay healthy....

We also have a game at Rutgers and the traditional matchups with Syracuse and Cornell. Looks like a nice schedule overall!

That would be CCU then. We open against them.

Our only game against a "power" conference team is at Oklahoma, but I really like UNC's schedule this year. A lot of winnable OOC games, but not many cupcakes.

Agreed xnodx

Keep that up with the usual assortment of Ivy/NEC/MAAC/America East foes, and they should be decently well prepared for the Patriot League season

If they stay healthy, this team definitely has a shot at taking home the title xnodx
