2015-2016 Schedule

Yeah, scheduling is really tough, these days.

Thankful for Missouri State and Detroit. And, the Mayor's Cup series.

Gotta get creative and maybe do a tourney like James Madison, perhaps? Get 3-4 games and co-op with other schools in our same boat...

Maybe a "Christian Classic" and try to get other private Christian universities? And, maybe a big corporate sponsor (Mardel, Chick-Fil-A, etc.) would hop on board, to defray cost...?

Getting a P-5 team may be one thing, but there are a lot of mid-majors who should be available.  I am not saying Coach is wrong, but we can not schedule home/aways with teams from the Valley, MAC, Horizon, A-10, CAA or Mountain West?

Denver seems to have some of this figured out...

Seven D-1 mid/low-major home games, three neutral and three on the road.  That's a very nice home schedule.

Of course, they also don't have any of the big payoff games, so there are always trade-offs.

Nov. 14: vs Santa Clara, Wisconsin-Milwaukee or Lipscomb
Nov. 15: vs Santa Clara, Wisconsin-Milwaukee or Lipscomb
Nov. 16: vs Santa Clara, Wisconsin-Milwaukee or Lipscomb
Nov. 18: Utah Valley
Nov. 25: Idaho State
Nov. 28: South Alabama
Dec. 2: Wyoming
Dec. 5: Air Force
Dec. 9: @San Diego
Dec. 13: Weber State
Dec. 16: @Northern Colorado
Dec. 20: Eastern Washington
Dec. 22: @UC Riverside

So ORU starts off the season with 8 games in 18 days.....and the first 15 games in 38 days....that's almost an NBA like schedule and when you consider that 11 of those 15 are on the road it becomes even more daunting.....this young team will have to grow up fast and be in tip top shape.....TheEagleman hopes that our seniors Obi and Conley are ready to play and provide that key leadership role....:unsure:
