If we can work a higher ranked opponent in after we get Bost and Sidney back then that is okay too. We probably need to look at numerous combinations until they return and it is about wins. it won't matter what we do, coach will find some reason to *****. Just goes with the territory.

I am all for playing the worst people we can find until we get Sidney and Bost back...but where we differ is that I would want to play 2-3 very good teams after their return, even if we have to play one during the SEC season during our off day...and by good team I don't mean Houston, Western Kentucky, or Rider

I know our coach doesnt understand strength of schedule, but we have to upgrade it, even with the suspensions

...for him to be eligible for the Bahamas/Hawaii swing-- what remains to be seen though is if being held out of exhibition games countre: thatsuspension.

The NCAA hates MS State. I have faith that Stans will schedule a few more Rider type teams before the <span style="font-weight: bold;">RSS </span>is eligible.
Last year we had 15 non-conference games.

Clearly when it did count for John Wall last year, but did not count for John Riek, the NCAA was saying that who you are matters, and at the end of the day, say it with me everyone....."We are MSU/"

at this point all we really need out of him is five fouls and a couple of points and rebounds a game.

<div>A search of D-I colleges in conferences in and/or in states continguous to Mississippi (in other words, the usual suspects) that have not revealed their basketball schedules shows that these are schools that could possibly be scheduled to play MSU:

Nicholls State
University of New Orleans</div><div>UL Lafayette
Louisiana Tech
Tennessee Tech</div><div>Jacksonville State </div><div>Alcorn State</div><div>Grambling</div><div>Mississippi Valley</div><div>Arkansas Pine Bluff</div><div>Southern University</div><div>Alabama A&M</div><div>Alabama State</div><div>Tulane

Considering that Phil Cunningham in Basketball Travelers has not mentioned anything concerning playing dates between Nov. 30 and Dec. 11, there must be 1-2 games scheduled during that time, and I would not be surprised if one of the above schools is an opponent.</div>

Both MSU and Missouri had posted for days that they were interested in playing Division I opponents from Jan. 2 - 5, and Cunningham even mentioned that we would be willing to go on the road against a BCS team during that time period. I was hoping that there would be a chance for a series against the Tigers. Well, Missouri announced its schedule yesterday and the team they're playing on January 5 is not a Division I school. North Alabama? Ugh. Not even an exhibition game-- it counts towards the gamesMissouri plays this season.

Even more I just realized the USC game must of fallen through..it was supposed to be the last "stop" on the "Paradise Tour...Bahamas/Hawaii" so the game would of been after the 25th.
Guess we or USC decided against it with USC starting conference play on the 29th...though the 27th would of been perfect.

So will it be North Alabama, West Alabama, or a home game in the Coliseum versus Belhaven?

Scheduling
confusion/news: MSU bkb to play Bellhaven in Jackson on Dec. 15 for an
exhibition but it may be changed to a regular season game.
</span></span></span>If an official game, this means that Sidney is eligible for the Virginia Tech game and Bost will be eligible for the January 16 game versus Auburn.
