I have made this point repeatedly, and I appreciate and understand the importance of garauntee games. But we already know we can expect 2-3 away games out power conference teams every year, and usually filled out with NEC, Ivy, MEAC, MAAC, and the occasional D3. However, I would REALLY love to see some solid regional mid-majors (A-10, CAA, upper MAAC) appear on our schedule. And maybe get a home game once in awhile that would pique some interest within the valley.
The other side of the “we’re gaining respect as a program” coin is that while majors might not want to play us, other mid-majors concerned with maintaining a healthy RPI and competitive games might be more willing to look our way.
Some opponents I would love to see on future schedules, ideally in a home and home or even 2-1 deal:
St. Joe’s (had them relatively recently in Stabler)
Richmond (has played away games at PL teams before)
Dayton (another recent one)
Dusquesne
Delaware
BU
George Mason
GW
Drexel
LaSalle
Iona

We very rarely play teams in the 75-200 RPI change. Games that are challenging, winnable, and an RPI boost.
