    I'd be pretty happy with this being the meat of our OOC schedule if it came to fruition.

    For comparison, last season's OOC schedule included 10 home games, 2 road games, and 1 neutral site game and produced 2 Q1, 2 Q3, and 9 Q4 match-ups. It ended up being ranked #297 on KenPom.

      If we're going to 20 conference games, I guess that means only 11 OOC games?

        11 OOC games is the number Chad has been referencing while having early schedule discussions on his podcast over the past few weeks.

                Disappointed it's a weeknight. Would've happily made the trip from NYC for a weekend game.

                  Speaking of Dayton...
                  DaRon Holmes - 20.4 ppg -- NBA
                  Nate Santos - 11.7 ppg -- recently hit the portal
                  Koby Brea - 11.1 ppg -- portal
                  Kobe Elvis - 9.4 ppg -- portal (Oklahoma)

                  Top four scorers from this year's squad -- who, by the way, scored 76 of UD's 82 points versus UC back in December

                    UC will face Morehead State early next season https://twitter.com/madeformarch/sta...7Ctwgr%5Etweet

                    "Cincinnati will host Morehead State on Friday November 8th as part of its 2024-25 non-conference schedule. This is a buy game with an $90,000 guarantee."

                        The Eagles were 26-9 last season & made the Dance as a14 seed. I have no idea what they have returning.

                          Their coach got hired away by James Madison. They lost their top 5 scorers to graduation/the portal. Their top returning player is 5th-year 6'10 Xavier transfer Dieonte Miles who averaged 5 & 5 last season. They got two low major transfers - neither of whom were starters last season. I'm not expecting them to be super competitive.

                            Not a bad schedule. Would be interesting to see if UC will schedule maybe two more Power 5 schools. Would, perhaps, give them more of an NCAA Tournament type of non-conference schedule.

                              20 Big 12 games means playing 10 teams once and 5 teams twice.
