Now three (3) tough Southland games after New Year's _ This could truly be a poor season or repeat 2019-20...

Let this play out and will see. This money game thing feel bad for the kids... Losing in anything is toxic.

Holy Kamoley....

Well, it looks like they at least reduced the number of money games from last year from seven to five.

Creighton, Kansas State, Wichita State, Baylor and Memphis will fill the athletic department coffers nicely while our team gets the dog beat out of them. Just a guess on my part, but I doubt if there is any money involved with Little Rock, Arkansas State or Montana.

I wish our team well, but , as I have posted before, the athletic department is using mens basketball for nothing more than to fund the minor sports in the department. There is no commitment to mens basketball and I just hate it for our guys.

This is a common thing among the Southland it looks like. I did see SFA only has 3, maybe 4 money games. Nicholls has 4 as well. I think if we could get UAPB & ASU on the schedule, it should cut down on travel. Also, I think it's important to evaluate money games on ability to actually win. I know it's part of the process, but I would rather play a team like SMU in Basketball than Duke. I will say that it may draw some players to play at UCA, so that they have the opportunity to play at Duke or something. I have a feeling this is a double edge sword. We do need more money thrown at UCA Basketball though.

Yep, your right, it is a double edged sword under the current conditions. BTW, we do have Arkansas State on the schedule this year.

That should be a well attended game against Arkansas State. Maybe most attended game of the season. Only problem, it's during Thanksgiving break. Have a feeling that the SFA or Sam Houston games will be better attended then. Hopefully UCA does some marketing/community involvement for ASU game.

• Schedule has NO -- HBU, IWU or TX-CC. ALL good chances for victory. OUCH
• NO NAIA games because Covid-19. Double OUCH.

• Guess __ 1-3…. Non Conference.

• Southland Conference __ (2) McNeese, (2) New Orleans, (2) SFA, (2) Nicholls) (2) SE LA, (2) ACU, (2) SHSU and (1) NW State on the road.
• Guess __ 3-13…. Conference --- Horrible road squad.
• Guess Overall __ 4-16 …. Remember this roster has poor frontline and horrible defensive team. NO Koval.

Agree....things do not look promising, at best. Just wish the university would make a commitment to having a competitive mens basketball program.
