YSU BASKETBALL MEN'S SCHEDULE

[YsuPride]

We will host a Tournament on Nov 17th to 19th
Teams are Niagara and Utah Tech.  Utah Tech was in the NIT TOURNAMENT.

I made a mistake it was Utah Valley that made a run in the NIT.   Utah Tech was 14 - 19 I believe.

You are forgiven!  Utah Valley would be a much tougher opponent after watching them in their NIT match up last season!  Not saying would shouldn't beat them though!

Wonder what the rest of our non conference schedule is like.

Coach was talking about it, but said he cold not give any name until after the deal was signed. He just said it was a major in-state opponent, so I figured we were squeezing in UC or Dayton. If it is a multiple-game deal it would almost have to be UD.

[YsuPride]

Coach was on a podcast and mentioned that we have some non D1 opponents and an in state opponent coming back with an anticipated contract.  I assume that Dayton is the opponent.   Be nice to get a home game of an in state school.   I hear we have Navy at home this year possibly.   Plus the tournament at home.

[YsuPride]

It was the portal report posted by someone else here on this site.  Must view material.

[Dmorton]

I think we had home and home schedules with Southern and Ohio U.

[YsuPride]

Navy at home for a game.  Don't know the date yet.

How did we end up with so many bad non competitive home opponents?

Ohio Christian
Lake Erie
Utah Tech
Westminster
Bethany

I know Utah Tech was part of. Niagara weekend tournament.

Yikes!  Did the schedule get changed from initial one that came out?  I swear I don't remember seeing all those non D1 games.  I don't ever remember more than 2 or maybe 3 max non D1 games (outside of the COVID year).  This year is 4...1 D2, 2 D3 & an NAIA!  Did one or two schools back out from the schedule?  I really didn't think Coach liked these games other than Westminster. 

[YsuPride]

Niagara and Western Illinois backed out of the contract leaving us just a couple weeks to find an opponent.  Sad for RPI.  We will need to beat some good teams this year for sure.  The NIT has changed its qualifying as the regular season winners do NOT receive an auto bid to the NIT anymore.    Not good news.
