Out of conference schedule

[NewJerseyHawk]

We should just copy seton halls framework for OOC. Or just do something like below. The below is a good way to have a solid out of conference schedule and basically cheat a little as the away games are driving distance so it has a neutral type of atmosphere

SHU
Gavitt
St johns home and home
Temple home and home
Princeton 2 for 1
Rider
Monmouth 2 for 1
FDU
Then one early season tourney

Results in probably 2 less home games a year ooc wise so just raise ticket prices to make up for loss of revenue.

In the above schedule it’s basically just three q4 games. Away games at temple monmouth and princeton would basically be neutral courts.

SHU has no choice but to schedule up.....the Big East is not good past the Top 4 teams....Georgetown and Butler with DePaul were hideous. Add St John's and you start with 8 BE wins before you get started.

is someone bringing up penn state, do people realize how many freaking wins they have vs tourney teams plus they have a clean profile...worse loss was Wisconsin

 

[SirScarlet]

your are right. Don’t lose 13 games so that you can allow for the B1G refs to screw you.

that's the rutgers fan stockholm syndrome that shines so bright in many of you!!

Checks notes....yep, 19-14. LOL

"LOL"

go back to your sinking ship.

These are meaningless excuses because none of these guys were in the room to hear the actual conversation.

And Carino shouldn't even be cited on these boards any longer after that infamous "Dean is the starting 4" tweet.

Agree…Carino is entering Politi atmosphere

more convinced that our play vs Purdue was not even considered. Field set before conference tourneys. Thought that was the case last year but now its confirmation...and psu a 10 further confirmation

guy said RU didnt show they were the same team yet did he watch Michigan and Purdue..nope

That doesn’t sit well with me.

What also is stupid is to have the B1G final end 17 minutes before bracket is announced

It is huge and much change. That and the Quad 3 losses did it. Play a holiday neutral court tourney. It matters! We know that now.
Looks like it could be Yale in the NIT

I'm not even sure this is as true as, we've gotta win our OOC games more often. Beat Temple, Miami, and Hall, maybe we are in.

Either play a tougher schedule, or if you're gonna play a weak one - at least win the damn games.

Forget it not being fair to PSU….what about the 7 seed that has to play PsU

I'm trying, check out the thread I just started on Pike's Cell Phone. That should help get over this painful day as well.

The ncaa committee specifically values non conference performance

Yet the same posters continue to say it doesn't matter

Mississippi State had an ok resume but not great...but they beat Marquette and TCU..it matters when you have other warts

Providence did nothing ooc but didnt have bad losses

You cannot check two red flag boxes and we did

Bac…here is the thing

At what point does playing in a confrenxe where we played 14 of 22 confrwnce games against teams in the field??? We played 15 of 32 games against teams in the field …

I can’t wait to count the number of teams in the field that played 15 games against NCAA teams ….not going to be many

It should be looking at entire schedule …if we are looking at entire resume …and you take your chance if yon don’t schedule enough out of conference in a “down year “

Or could not be

Pike needs to stop being risk averse when it comes to OOC scheduling. Hate it with Schiano and hate it with Pike.

I'd agree with you if you said don't schedule teams like Rider or Merrimack and replace them with like a Bryant, Buffalo or Navy which would improve our OOC SOS. However, Pike committed to having RU playing Gonzaga and ND only to watch those teams back out.
