What do you think about the whole SBC tourney moving to Hot Springs, Ark...? Solid slate.

I wish Missouri State had a non conference schedule like that. Maybe one day we can get back to WKU's current level

It's somewhat neutral so no one team has an advantage because they are at home. I guess it's a happy medium between the extremes of Denver and Florida International. Since WKU won the men's tournament last year, I'm not complaining.

Thanks, it's definitely a solid schedule. The NCAA can't complain about our schedule when at-large berth are possibly at stake.

Your conference is a phenomenal one, so you have that going for you.

WKU was wise to contract the coach once he moves on to a different school, that they MUST play and home/home series with that team. So next year, South Carolina will be marching to Bowling Green, KY. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. Hopefully WKU can catch a surprise win at Louisville this year also. xnodx

Even so, the way Mid-Majors have been dealt terrible blows the past 3 years, it will take a schedule like yours (and wins) to get to the Dance
