2015-16 Schedule

Oops. Just saw the link above – UVA has announced. So who’s left on our projected schedule, that hasn’t announced?

Agree and worth repeating, every single year we are among last few schools to put schedule out…it’s frustrating but it is what it is. Atleast the schedule looks like best we have had in years.

FWIW, I’m thinking SB will come to Stabler a few days later.

So, unless we get an 11th game (the max allowed with 18 League contests scheduled and something I trust our staff has worked on), here it is: the long-awaited and much-anticipated 10-Opponent OOC Schedule for 2015-16. I’ve taken the liberty of adding Conference affiliations, 2014-15 records, and KenPom’s final 2014-15 rankings. I think you’ll all agree the slate below represent a step up in class over the prior year.

One year ago, a similar report was rendered (see link below) that showed our 10 OOC foes entered play with a “year before” Pomeroy ranking of 181.0 and a combined W/L record of: 166-155.*

Love that the staff stepped it up with the schedule this year. I wouldn’t expect an announcement soon though – as hoops mentioned Lehigh is usually among the last schools nationally to announce and I also anticipate a D3 home game that likely isn’t locked in. Would love if it ended up being one more d1 home game but doubt it.

Hopefully the four mid major road games this year will have return games in the contract or series. Those four home games would be a nice start to the schedule for Tim’s Sr year.

I would guess Lehigh will add one more game, probably a D3 game, either in the stretch between 12/2 and 12/17 or between 12/22 and the beginning of Patriot League play. My bet is it will be the former but that it will be the latter (with the game being a home game on either 12/27 or 12/28 so I can attend).
