2016-17 Non-Conference Schedule

There won't be many at either Thanksgiving week games. But MU doesn't have much choice when it plays its "Thanksgiving tournament" the week prior.

That is rather weird.

Wed. Nov 30th-Western Carolina

16-18 166 in the RPI. Lost in the first round of the CBI.

Solid buy game.

[MU/Panther]

It looks like they lose 3 starters and another main guy of the bench.

They do, but Coach Hunter has won 8+ in conference the last 8 years running. Even in down years they are a reliably decent team, and they also schedule tough (top-100 non con last 8 years). They will likely drop off from last year, but should still be solid.

Monday, Nov. 14
2k Classic-Howard

10-20 last season, 328 RPI
The Bison, who return all five starters, including senior guard James "J-Byrd" Daniel, III, who led the nation in scoring with over 27 points per game last season, open Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC)

I am beginning to think we are going to see two buy games during the conference season. Unless they decide to play something during the week of finals.

By my count, we have five buy games left to announce. (One is Fresno.)

One will be after Georgia and before UW.
UW game on December 10
Finals week December 12
One buy game December 17 or 18
One buy game before Christmas.

Conference season starts December 28.

Or will they try to shove two in the week of December 19? Maybe Tuesday the 20th and Friday the 23rd?

I doubt we see two in conference:

Nov 11: Vanderbilt
Nov 14: Howard
Nov 17: 2K MSG
Nov 18: 2K MSG
Nov 22: 2K Home
Nov 26: Houston Baptist
Nov 30: Western Carolina
Dec 4: Georgia
Dec 6/7: Buy Game
Dec 10: Wisconsin
Dec 17: Fresno State?

That's 11 games already. Figure there will be at least one more before Big East play on Dec 28. My guess is Dec 21/22 will be a buy game, though they could even slip in a Dec 19 and Dec 22 date. But my guess is Dec 21 at home, Big East on Dec 28, then one in season game in January or February.

Need to fit in a Christmas break as well.
