Is there any reason we only played 12 outside of we couldn't find another game? Thanks!

If you play in the "exempt tournaments" you can get the extra game to 13 games before conference season starts. I think because OUr guys played in the holiday tourneys the last two years, he didn't schedule the extra game?

Coach Phillips has opted not to schedule the maximum number of games. I'm not sure if he thinks it's too many or if the team couldn't find a good opponent on the right date or what was the case.

Unless we could schedule a "quality" team, it would be just another matchup against a team that hardly anybody wants to play. It might improve our RPI a bit, but that's really only an issue in trying to get an at-large NCAA bid. One more game this year wouldn't make enough difference in that regard. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

I'm glad we didn't. In reality Wednesday's match up isn't Ohio(9-3) v NIU(11-2), its Ohio(8-3) v NIU(7-2). MY STATE. MY TEAM.

Would having the extra game have helped our very young team?

This team has come a long way since November and has been playing well of late. Things seem to be coming together. Why risk injuries. Remember, Rico broke his leg in the last OOC game in '13-'14 and missed the entire MAC season. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

Scheduling is always an interesting conversation. I've probably said it 25 times on here, but I don't envy anyone who has to put together the non-conference schedule for a college basketball team. It doesn't stop me from asking questions of the thought process, but it's a tough task.
